Photoshop Elements :: 9 - Can't Save Photo After Adding Text
Apr 5, 2013
I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 with Windows 8. I am not able to save a photo after adding text. When I try to save the photo after adding text I get a blank white page saved instead of the photo with text. What is causing this and how to correct the problem?
When attempting to add text to a photo, the typed text is not visible on the layer in the "Layers Box" until exiting the Text Tool. Text nexer is visible on the photo Background image. If the edited image is saved, the added typed text is not saved; only the original Background image. How do I reset the Text Tool so it will be functional?
When I drag the album to a photo I get the error "Error Applying Keyword Tag(s)" Nothing about this in the pdf file supplied! Apparently in the UK we don't get free telephone tech support!
I like the photocollage where the images are all tilted, but I would like to use about 12 images instead of just 8. How do I add additional image boxes?
I have a client that wants to add "save the date" to their engagement photo that was taken in the snow. We can't use a board or our feet to "write" in the snow as it is hard to see. I figured I could photoshop it in there to make it look "engraved" in the snow. I've inserted a sample image of what I'm looking for of a similar picture I found online.
I have elements 6. My problem is I have had a logo made for me to use on my photographs, I was told to open both photos, and then drag the logo on top of the photo position it where I want it then flatten the image.I have tried this but it doesn't work, I have made a watermark myself before, saved it and then added to a photograph with no problems
I would like to place a thin white border inside a photo..then I would like to erase a small portion of that border along the verticle side to put my name. I think there is a frame within PSE 11 that does this but I can not find it. I tried to add an example by going to insert photo but I don't think it worked.
I think I may have made a big error. While adding text and applying (experimenting) various "Effects" with the text, I used the garbage can icon to remove the "Effect", thinking it is going to remove the 'Effect" from the text, until I realized I had to remove the "Effect" with the edit button, not the garbage can. Have I now permanently removed the various "Effects" permanently or just off the screen? How do I regain them back onto the menu column? How many "Effects" should be visible in order to have the complete set? This was my first experiment with the lettering effects and hope I haven't lost them forever.
I just want to be able to add text to a photo. I follow the steps, choosing 12pt, but when I try to type on the photo, I can tell something is trying to show up on the photo, but it is so tiny, it is not visible.
Other than the cover template, there doesn't seem to be any page template that allows you to put type directly over a photo -- which can be a useful graphic technique. I know I could do it in Photoshop, and import it into Lightroom, but that wouldn't allow for easy chages in text type or color, etc. and would be an interruption of the book module's workflow. It would be nice to be able to add a text box to a page. Can it now be done and I just haven't found the way?
I cannot add text. I followed element 10 chapter 12 instructions but cannot get past first 4 steps. When I try to commit text as per step 5 nothing appens.
I opened Elements editor today, and found I could no longer add any text to a new image.
I start Elements, go to the editor, create a new image, then add text, and I cannot see the text at all. Things I have checked:
Various fonts Various sizes Various colors Various opacities Anti-alias on and off Various styles (including none) I've tried horizontal and vertical text I've tried setting the background to various colors Zoom level seems to make no difference Doesn't matter if I create the new image with white or transparent background
When I try the Horizontal Mask tool, I get a message "No pixels were selected"
The layer names contain the text I typed into the image.
I loaded Elements 2.0 today. I have Elements 9 (paid a lot for it) but after hours, upon hours, upon hours, upon hours, upon hours of trying to get it to work - I gave up. So, I puchased 2.0. It has taken me most of the day fixing the "full scratch disc" problem (finally got it) & now I can't save a photo. I have tried everything; changing extensions, saving to different drives, getting the photos from different drives, reducing the photo, etc & nothing works. The error message either states the drive is full (it isn't) or no expanation is given - just "the photo can't be saved". Why can't I save a photo using my new Elements 2.0.
I have a MAC and have installed PSE 11 successfully. I'm working on a birthday project and everytime I try to add text, the whole thing freezes. I force shut down as it's the only thing to get me out of it, and reboot, and it does it again, and again and again.
cannot crop and rename a photo and save it to a folder. Instead of the photo I get a blank icon that looks like a page with one corner folded down. The new name is below the blank icon. If I try to save it again I get a message that the name exists do I want to replace it? if I do, I get a second icon with no photo image.
I am using Elements 11. I can get the watermark on the photo but there is no: save, enter, submit or anything. Needless to say it doesn't get saved in the new watermarked file. I have also watermarked a single photo and set it to be added to all the files i selected, but the only photo that end up with it in the new file is the one i watermarked.
I am using Elements 6.0. I want to fade my image to white on the right side of the image. That way I can add text there in the plain white space. I've seen several ways to do this, but none seem to work on 6.0. using 6.0 . I tried a few ways explained on higher versions but I can get it to work.
recently the PSE screen goes red (transparent) when I attempt to use text on the photo and the text is unusable. I have tried numerous suggestions to get rid of it but to no avail...
