Question
Hi Miss,
I am using Adobe photoshop, I have a scanned document and I want to chnage some text in the document.I have two questions
1. Hou can I change the text without touching the background and using the same font type,color and size.
2. Is is possible to scan a document as a .doc file instead of image.

Thanks

Answer
Hello Ali, This can be done through OCR scanning, there's a software which will enable to you scan text instead of image from the paper, but it all depends on how you place your document on scanner and how correct your software is.

Regarding photoshop, if you know the type face you can over write the text again, or probably can use the similar font. Color and size can be easily achievable while overwriting the same text.

To remove the previous text from your file, use any tool like brush/rubberstamp.


Hope this will help, feel free to ask anything further
