I would like to know what the most time efficient way to add text to Photoshop drawings is?
Â
The only way I know how to add post script fonts is to do the text in Illustrator and then bring type into PS. When you have a 44 page book this is really tedious.
I'm using AI CC now, but I noticed this problem in earlier versions of AI: If I want to place a one-word label on an illustration I move the type insertion cursor to a speific point on the screen image and click, but then the flashing insertion point, where the label will actually start, pops up elsewhere, usually a line or two above where the cursor was, and a pica or two to the left, forcing me to type the label, then move it into position rather than simply typing it in the right place and moving on. The problem is merely annoying, but I'd like to fix it. It's probably a matter of ignorance-I simply haven't read the right documentation, but I don't know what to call the problem. Where can I find out how to change the position of the cursor relative to the insertion point?
I want to create text on a circle path, so drew the circle, went to the "type on a path tool" and clicked on the circle. I keep getting the message "can't create type". I have tried to use the direct selection tool to select the circle first and without the direct selection.
My Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1). This is what I have tried so far and the problem still exists. Â Check preferences for "Text": "Select text-object by path only" should be off. Checked. It was off. Didn't fix it. Check the toggle for Show/Hide Edges in the View menu. Cmd(Ctrl)-H. Checked. Edges Showing. Didn't fix it. Trashed my Prefeerences. Didn't fix it.
the type tool won't let me insert any type whatsoever in JPG or PSD files. I click the type tool and then click somewhere on the image and all it gives me is a dot but no flashing cursor. As I said, resetting my prefs/settings while starting up Photoshop did not help. Another weird thing it does is that when I go to Canvas Size for a medium sized image, it says that the width is 588 inches and the height is 288 inches.
Working on a poster in Illustrator. Have added area type, using the type tool. Now I'd like to increase the size of one line. I can't select or edit any of the type with the type tool. I moved the type to a new layer, saved, closed Illustrator, restarted my Mac (OS X 10.7.4). Looked in preferences, in case there's an issue there. No luck. Â By the way, I also don't see handles when in the selection tool any more. Don't know if that's related.
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. Â 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.
I choose the vertical type tool or the vertical type on a path tool or the vertical area type tool...and all I get are letters that are rotated 90 degrees clockwise that go down in a vertical line. The effect is the same as if I took one of these lines that I am typeing here and rotated the entire line 90 degrees clockwise. That is not the effect I want. I am tying to get vertical letters stacked on top of one another in a line going vertical. I watched videos and they simply pick the tool and it functions this way, but when I pick the same tool I do not get this vertical orientation of the individual letters, but the 90 degree rotated letter.Â
I was wondering if the is a way to go from a Inventor file type to a Solidworks file type. One of our customers is asking for one or the other following file types: .asm or .prt. Â Â
They also mentioned something about "shrink wrapping" the file to all the surfaces.
I want to put type on a perfect circular path.But first I need to stretch the type so it is longer vertically.Stretching type and using it as normal is easy.But how in the world do I use the stretched type on a path?
PSE 7 has a scrolling filmstrip view of all open images at the bottom of the workspace, making it very easy to see and select all open images. Is there anyway to have this feature in Photoshop CS 4?
I need to know how to create my text in a logo fashion circumstribing the outer edges of a circle. I need to have the type running from left to right on the top half and left to right on the bottom half.
Every time I try and use the text tool, when I type, nothing happens. I mean, I square it off, right where I want the text, I click in the text box to type, and then begin to type, and nothing happens.
If I open a PSD with type, the file opens but Photoshop hangs. If the PSD contains no type (eg type rasterised), Photoshop works fine. My OS is Windows Vista.
i am able to type numbers elsewhere on my mac but for some reason i can't do numbers. i can't do it in the text tool and i can't do it anywhere else in CS5 either. I used to be able to do it...
I think that I have tried everything from .png to jpg, bilinear to bicubic sharper, still to no avail.how to make type created using Photoshop appear crisp and clear for the web?I am currently using CS6...
I am trying to 'extrude type' for a 3D effect but the line is greyed out. I can use the separate '3D' icon but the left corner gadget that changes perspective cannot be activated. Is it me or the installation was corrupted somehow?
Running CS4. Am unable to add color to Type as well as Foreground and Background. Can only vary grayscale for these. When I use the Color Picker the aforementioned only change to equivalent level on grayscale. Have not had this problem previously. Only began three days ago.
Currently developing important apps for education. Looking for great styles to imitate. Must be fast but nice.
We have seen Phineas and pherb style drawing and it looks very quick. We were wondering how you do the background you can see in the following link.
[URL].... Â Especially the brown brick as we can't do that in flash as there are no textures. The rest I suppose in just drawn and then lots of cut and pasting. Â And the same question for plants versus zombies - those terrains and grass. Must be some sort of brush on PS.
I am trying to make a template & so far so good. One problm I'm having is with my Vertical Text. I can make the text fine, goto layer---> raster & Crtl + T to rotate, but I am unable to find a way to make the letters go sideways down the side of the picture.

T H I S
But I want the top of the letters to all face the left side of the picture.
There must be a way, but I just cant seem to find out how.
I can't type text anymore. I choose the text tool, position it somewhere in my drawing, start typing but nothing shows up. I can see where I placed it because the small box is there. I tried adjusting to various point sizes, different colors, different fonts, but nothing seems to work. If I type something, what I typed shows up in the layer name but not the picture. Would anyone know what might be going on?
How are you? I have a question, I am writing articles for this online magazine I do, and on a page I put 2 pictures (normal, square sized) on top and bottom, and I type in between. It gets realllllllly annoying trying to justify everything around it to fit perfectly, because i literally have to space until everything looks even, does anyone have any tips or anything?
I want to center some type on an image. When I go to the move tool, and highlight the text layer and the background layer then to the align menu, it sometimes works, but more often than not it does not.
