How to create text highlight in Photoshop?

If you want to create a text highlight in Photoshop, then the following steps can help you out.

Step 1

Take a screenshot of the paragraph of the text that you want to highlight.

Step 2

Open the screenshot in Photoshop. Use the brush tool from the Tools menu or by using the keyboard shortcut B. You can use a regular round brush for this process but if you want to make it more authentic, then you can download the marker brush set.

Step 3

Create a new layer in your image. To do that, go to Layer > New > New Layer. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Shift + Ctrl + N keys. Do make sure that you are on the new layer and not on the layer with the screenshot going to the next step.

Step 4

Select the yellow color. Hold down the Shift key and drag the brush over the whole text. The Shift key helps you draw a straight line. You will see that the text will be covered with color.

Step 5

Photoshop tries to associate your previously highlighted line with the new one, so if you are highlighting more than one line, then you might find that after moving to the next line.

Step 6

Use the keyboard shortcut keys Ctrl + Z to undo it. The connection will be removed once you draw the line again. 

Step 7

When the whole text is covered in color, right-click the layer with the yellow lines and choose the Blending option. You can select a blend mode from the drop-down menu under general blending. Choose Multiple. This is done to adjust the opacity. It depends on your choice though.
