Step 2

Now select the Background layer, choose the Rectangle Tool (U), and click and drag inside the canvas to create a new rectangle shape layer in the size of the word Highlight. Then, set the Shape Fill Type to #ffff00 and Shape Stroke Type to No Color.

Step 3

Press Control-T on your keyboard to transform this layer, and set the Width and Height as you like, depending on how much you want to offset the highlight of the text. If you want to have an equal highlight offset on all sides, make sure to click on the Link icon between Width and Height to maintain the aspect ratio.
