Photoshop Elements :: Building Text Box On A Layer?

Feb 19, 2014

I want to publish a book. It is mostly text, 40,000 words plus with over 350 photos. I am using Elements 11 on a Windows 7 machine.  I have developed a template displaying 2 facing pages. I want to create a different layer for each photo.  I also want to create different layers each with its own text box.  I want to fill with each box with Microsoft Word text using a cut and paste technique. 

I need to know how to create a text box on a layer that I can fill with text.  When I select a layer and click on the text tool I create a text layer. Then I click and drag a box which looks good, but when I click on the green check to apply the box to the layer the entire box disappears and I’m back to where I started. how I can create a text box on a layer that I can fill with text.

Photoshop Elements :: How To Edit Text In Selected Large Multiline Text Layer

Jul 16, 2013

Running PSE 9 under Mac Snow Leopard.
 
I have a family photo including many text layers.  I'm trying to edit the text in a selected large multi-line text layer.  I'm following the steps from the appropriate PSE article, but I always end up creating a new layer and the red/green no-go/go option.  I thought I should just be able to double-click the text layer and start editing.

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?

Photoshop Elements :: Getting Separate Movable Text Elements In Single Layer?

Dec 20, 2013

Is there any way to have more than one text placement inside of a single layer, but be able to maintain and move each of those separately from the others?   From what I have seen, each new Text item gets its own new layer.   If I want to document an image with seven points of reference, it's absolutely crazy that I have to maintain seven layers, each with an integer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.   What would be much more maintainable is to create ONE layer and name it "MAP-NUMBERS" and then have seven integers placed into that one layer.   I would then want to be able to move - say - "2" around separately from "4".   Then making all of the numbers appear or disappear becomes as easy as hiding or showing one layer.
 
Is there a way to do this with any version of Photoshop?

Photoshop :: Existing Type Layer Replaced By Text With Other Type Layer Text Upon Changing Properties?

Jun 6, 2012

I have a type layer with some text in it (a headline, let's say). I click on the layer, I click on the Character Panel, and first thing I see is the color in the Panel is not the color of the font in the layer.
 
I then click on any Panel property, and the text in this layer is replaced by text from another layer in my document ( a paragraph layer, let's say), but the color is not the same as the layer the text came from.

Photoshop :: Copying Text From Outside Text Editor And Pasting Into CS5 Text Layer?

May 20, 2012

trying to copy txt from an outside text editor and pasting them into an open, editable text layer in my workspace.  The problem is that I can COPY the text fine, but when I click over to PS to paste it into the open editable text layer it either pastes the previous text from my clipboard OR it won't paste anything at all.  I can then go into any other text field on a browser, spreadsheet document, a different text editor, notepad, etc and successfully paste the proper batch of text I wanted to paste into PS.  Sometimes I have some rather large files open 50+megs when I notice this happen.  I have to save my work and close out entirely of PS and then open it again before I can begin editing my original document again and successfully paste the text into the open editable text layer.  This may last for a few COPY/PASTE sessions of additional text in additional text layers, but then begins displaying the symptoms I described above.
 
I am on Win7 on an AlienWare M17XR3 laptop with 16G RAM and AMD Radeon HD 6900M Series display adapter.I assume it's either in my PS performance settings which I have PS using 10413MB RAM and has over 350G scratch disk space.  If it's not that I guess my laptop system performance settings which I've never tinkered with since I purchased it.

Photoshop :: Use A Text / Shape Layer As A Mask For Another Layer

Jul 17, 2012

I can't figure out how I can use a text or shape layer as a mask for the layer below. See the example attached and you will know what I mean. (I created the example with simply cutting out the text outline from the white box).
 
I need the text to be a mask and I need it to be editable as text. Don't know if this is possible, experimented with clipping masks but I cant make it work.

Photoshop Elements :: Make One Layer Smaller And Rotate It Leaving Other Layer Intact

Apr 4, 2013

I have two maps of same area (different years) and I want to match them up as one map.  I can load them both as layers and make the older map transparent so that I can see through to newer map, but older map is larger than the newer map (in the background).  I can move the transparent map but I cannot make just the transparent map smaller to fit over the other map.  I will also need to rotate the map slightly.  When I try to resize it changes both maps.  I have tried the transform and the move tool.  So how can I make one layer smaller and rotate it it leaving the other layer intact?

Photoshop Elements :: How To Copy A Mask From One Layer To A New Layer

Dec 4, 2012

I have been trying to copy a mask from one layer to a new layer in Elements 11.  I can do this in CS3 by using alt and dragging to the new layer.  It doesn't work in Elements 11.  Is this feature unavailable in elements 11 or is there a different command?  there doesn't seem to be much point in spending all that time making a complex layer amsk and then being unable to use it on another layer.

I have to give a tutorial on layer masks using both CS3 and elements at the Camera Club!

Photoshop :: CS6 Text Layer Names Not Updating To Show Actual Text

Sep 26, 2012

I've got some Text Layers in my CS6 document.
 
In CS5, if I had Text Layers and changed the text on the layer (by double-clicking the "T" icon of the specific Layer in the Layers palette), the name of the Layer would change to reflect the new text I entered.
 
For some reason this behavior is gone in CS6. So, for example:
 
• I have a Text Layer with the word "Email" on my canvas. The Text Layer name also reads "Email".
• I double-click the "T" icon of the Email Layer to edit the text on canvas.
• I enter new text, "Contact". The text on canvas updates to "Contact", but the Layer Name remains "Email".
 
So, for accurate Layer names, I find myself having to change the text twice: once on the canvas, and then manually updating the Layer name as well. Is there an option or preference somewhere that I'm missing that would re-enable the behavior from CS5?

Photoshop :: How To Stop Text Layer From Turning Black While Editing Text

Nov 16, 2013

Photoshop CC up to date
5 years PS experience
Restart of file and PS didn't resolve the issue
Creating Smart Object didn't resolve issue
 
When attempting to add simple text on an individual layer, the layer is turning black. This prevents me from seeing the text I'm editing. When I move to another layer the text displays correctly. When I go to edit the text by clicking the image the layer goes black again. It is like editing text in the dark, turning the light on to see the changes, turning the light off to make the changes, repeat.

Photoshop :: Copying Arabic Text Into A Text Layer...

May 21, 2008

I paste Arabic font (a sentence in Arabic in Word for example) onto a text layer in photoshop, it compleatley switches the direction of the text and the sentence doesn't read as it was in word. This leads to us going through a very complicated process of saving it as a pdf and then importing as a vector.

Does anyone know how we just import Arabic text from another document so that PHotoshop (using CS3) renders it the right way around (words and individual 'letters')

Photoshop Elements :: Movable Elements Of Layer - Option Free Transform

Aug 28, 2012

Description of the task: I want to create a tool which is able to visualize the positions of pieces on a game board. At the moment I'm using Photoshop Elements 7. I think the following procedure would be appropriate:

2 layers, the basic layer would show the game board and the images of the pieces would be on the second layer. If I try to do that with Photoshop Elements 7 then each time when I insert an image of a piece a new layer is created. I don't need a layer per figure. Yes, one could reduce a layer afterwards. But it's not so comfortable this way.

In addition the images of the pieces should be movable on the game board. There is the option "free transform" in Photoshop Elements 7 but only one element (one piece) is movable afterwards. All the inserted elements should be movable.

So my question: Is it feasible within Photoshop Elements 7? If not, which version of Photoshop Elements would be adequate or which software do I need?

Photoshop Elements :: How To Move Elements Of Painting To Separate Layer

Nov 24, 2013

I would like to move elements of that painting onto a separate layer.   What is the best way to do this?   An example of this would be a painting with the moon in a night sky.   I might want to move that moon object into a separate layer.
 
My reason for wanting to do this is I want to change the background of the painting without worrying about doing fine details around the objects I am moving. A second benefit of moving the objects to a layer is that I can then easily move the location of those elements in the painting around, trying to reposition them.
 
can I get all of the elements I am moving onto a SINGLE layer AND still have the ability to move those elements around separately?  If I want to move 10 elements in a painting to a separate layer, it is REALLY inconvenient to have to put those into 10 separate layers and constantly maintain naming of these different layers.
