Photoshop :: Text Tool Won't Work ...
Jun 13, 2006
I've reset the Character ..
I've made sure the settings are okay ..
and the "tiny-square with flashing line" cursor is in place ...
BUT - when I type letters (or numbers) - nothing happens ..
However - if I type some text in Notepad - Ctrl+C it & then Ctrl+V it at the flashing cursor - it pastes - & I can edit ...
My keyboard seems okay - I'm typing this without any trouble ..
However - if I use an 'alt' keystroke - ie alt+184 I get © - so that bit 'appears' to be okay... BUT - if I then try deleting this © by using the "backspace" - it won't let me --- but - if I use the left arrow key & then hit delete - it's gone ...

I create new file, add 1st layer, pick colors on color pallette, and try to do difference clouds or halftone pattern and i get an error message saying that nothing is selected. I click on the layer in the layers pallette to be sure that the layer is selected, and it still won't work. Is there something special i need to do? i know in older versions, you could just use the filter...

Whenever i open up photoshop or illustrator itll work fine sometimes and sometimes it wont work at all. Illustrator sometimes gives me the msg "Could not request ..." and when I click on New image it doesnt display all the options. Itll leave out the OK and CANCEL buttons and several other options sometimes. And sometimes Ill be able to create a file but i cant save... And sometimes when all this is happening I cant open any new windows on my computer and cant do any tasks at all on my pc..
other times when i think it works perfectly some of the options for different tools wont work at all...

I try to add text, it always says "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
This recently started happening, and I don't know why.
It was working fine the day before.
It's for Photoshop CS3,

My text tool is "stuck" on horzontal text tool in PSE10, and any attempt to change results in program crash. I cannot even "reset" all tools without triggering the fatal crash (it's telling me that "ATMLIB.dll" is not a valid Windows file).
Â
I've got Win 7 and more then enough resources to run the software. Actually it ran just fine until recently. Is ATMLIB possibly pointing to a font issue?
Â
I've reloaded the software from scratch (that is I've de-installed, and re-installed it now a couple of times). I've reloaded it and used the regirstration code from Adobe's "my products."
Â
It only seems to happen when trying to select the text tool.
Â
(I did post another message pointing to the DLL but I'm now more suspecious that it might be a font or registration issue.)

I just got photoshop recently on my new computer, on which I have never installed photoshop before. When I decided to use it for the first time, I started with the text tool, but found when I dragged the box area I wanted, I could not type inside it.
So I went troubleshooting, and no matter what I did the text stubbornly would not show itself. I have deleted and reinstalled fonts. Redownloaded photoshop. Reset preferences.

I paste a picture into Paint.net. That works fine. Resize it, fantastic works just as I want it to. Click "text", choose a colour.. no text. Just blank. So I click text again.. blank. I choose a different colour.. still blank. It's forever making me type invisible text.
So I have to close paint.net, re-open. Text is magically working again. So I decide to make the text first, THEN add the pictures. So I write the text, all goes fine. I add the pictures, all works fine. I go to move the text and pictures around to align them properly.. nothing will move! It just creates invisible squares or makes me try and write text again, so I click on the history on the right to select what I want to move, and everything suddenly vanishes and disappears!
I know this program is freeware so I've no right to complain, but it really is infuriating when people release software that doesn't even work. I may not have paid for the program but I do have to pay my ISP for the bandwidth I just wasted downloading this pile of tosh.

I used PSP X2 ... a few days ago I bought x4...but I dont know how the text tool is working properly..
Is it possible to change it, that it will work like that one in X2 ?
I cant move the text after I wrote something in a picture.and where is a text-input window ?
every time a open a picture and choose the text tool it is in "vector mode" but I do not want this mode.

I've built a strip sheet to print. 4 strips with 4 versions (VIRTUAL COPIES) of the same image with different exposures.
Â
I remember in the Print Module, you can add text. in this case I'd like to add the exposure (manually is fine) Example:Â NORMALÂ Â Â Â +1/3Â Â Â Â Â +2/3Â Â Â +1
Â
So, this is a virtual copy problem.
Â
It wont allow me to add the text to DESCRIPTION, Also, Under: Title, I can add say NORMAL, but that is the same for each image. Can't be individually labeled?
Â
Is there anyway to label, title, description, etc, a series of the same Virtual Copies.

I am using PS 5.5 to work on a .tif file scanned from a photo negative of a building. The dodge tool & burn tool do not work, even when I set the exposure to 100%. The history palette shows "dodge tool" each time I click in the image, but nothing happens. I tried these tools in a another similar file & both dodge & burn work fine. What could cause these tools not to work?

I loaded the free trial of CS6 to see if I should buy the upgraded version, or be happy with the less expensive older programs.
Â
Although I can grab the color (alt+click) -- and I see the "spot" that I drag to clone/paint over the object that I'm trying to remove... NOTHING HAPPENS. No color applies, nothing disappears - nada.Â
Â
I'm running this on a MAC.

Even though the strength of the blur tool has been set to 100%, the image mode is set to RGD, and I'm applying the blur tool to the right layer, it has no effect whatsoever.

Refine Edge tool in Photoshop CS3.
I make my selection, press "Refine Edge", make the changes I require and the preview shows everything is fine.
I click "OK", the Refine Edge box disappears and my changes do as well! The only difference is that my original selection area has decreased (I'm no pro, but it looks as though the edges have been feathered.)
I have no other layers except for the duplicated background.
I have tried older Photoshop files and this tool does not work for them either - even though I have used Refine Edge at work successfully before, but this was on another computer.
Perhaps I have accidentally adjusted a setting?
