I've encountered a strange issue in PSDs I've inherited from another designer.
Â
When I have a text layer selected with the type tool active, the font size reads correctly (say, 40px). When I actually select the text with the type tool, the font size gives a strange number (say, 38.74px).
Â
See the screenshots below:

This is on OSX 10.8.3, Photoshop CS6.
I want to change the font(let's say Times New Roman) of selected text in textframe when I click on menu-item of my plug-in. I went through the Adobe Text Engine documentation and tried some code for setting font but failed. I don't see any member function in IFont class to set desired font, so unable to move forward. see the code. I would like to know one more thing that how can we set a particular font for a textframe?

TextRangesRef rangesRef = NULL;
result = sAIDocument->GetTextSelection(&rangesRef);
aisdk::check_ai_error(result);
ITextRanges ranges(rangesRef);

I'd like to draw a box around some selected text (a textRange), however I can't figure out how to detemine the size or position of the text. The overall size of a textFrame is possible to find (not sure about position), but when you've got just a few characters selected I don't see any way to get the size or position.Â

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just started using PS CS2 and i can't figure it how to view the size when using marquee tool. For example when i want to select something i want to see the current size of marquee while i'm moving marquee around. It's really hard to select for example 153×44 with marquee when i have no idea how big current selection is. Hope you understand what i mean.
Also, is there any way to measure for example how many pixels is between two let's say bots. I know that you have ruler but that doesn't really. Basically similar to above with marquee size. When you draw a line, it shows how long this line is.

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.
I was wondering if anybody knew what Photoshop does to an image when you select text in the text tool. I've decided I want to use this effect on part of my image, but I can't figure out how to make it. It's a certain kind of inversion, but using "Invert" does NOT produce the same results. It's got to be simple, but I can't figure it out.

What I want to know is there any way I can add a field to the block that shows the selected size so that I don't need to add a separate call up. The field would be linked to the block so if I was to change the size of the member, the field would update and no risk of someone not updating the call up by mistake.

When I open the logo and select all, the size displayed is 227.5417 inches x 227.5417 inches. The last one I received, the actual size of the logo was 2 inches x 1.75 inches. How do I get Illustrator to display the actual size of the logo?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhenever I add text, there's a little black and white border around each letter. It looks like it's highlighted, but it's like that even after I save it. Another thing is that while I am doing anything to the picture, nt just text, the colors are inverted.
if i try to save any kind of a document, there is no 'jpg' option. I think there are some other options missing, too.
I just used it last week, and I could save it as jpg and use text at that point.
Is there a simple way to limit the file size of the photos selected in LR3 for a photomerge in PS5?
Â
I have found that without limiting the size, the panoramas generated are very large - 1GB or greater.
Â
I've found an work around by opening the photos in Bridge and then in Camera Raw where I can reduce the file size before using PS5 for photomerge. After I've done this, it's a bit of a hassle to get the panorama back into LR3. The benefit of this approach is that it speeds up the processing significantly and downstream with any subsequent processing since the files are just large and not ginormus.Â
Â
If this isn't possible, this seems like a good idea for LR4.
Once a selection is made with the selection tool using a fixed ratio, how can I move it or make fine adjustments to the size of the selected area that maintain that ratio?

swap means: Â xxx/yyy ===> yyy/xxx ; Â Â "/" is a divisor
swap function for one text is here:
(defun c:swap ( / pos ent el txt)

(if(null #div#)(setq #div# "/"))
(setq #div#
(if(=(setq tmp(getstring(strcat "

but I want a program to prompt me like this:
(prompt "Select objects:")(terpri)
(setq a (ssget '((0 . "TEXT"))))
and gets divisor char </>:
after that:
(setq n (sslength a))
(repeat n

repeats n times, n=number of texts in my selection
In my job, I wrote a lot of technical manuals in CorelDraw x6 because of it strength in page layout involving text and graphics. And its multi-page capabilities.
One big questions: if I use the shortcut ALT+T to select all text, not all text are selected at all. Is this a defect?
In my work, I need to convert all text in the manual to curves before sending to the external printer. I had end up browsing the entire Object Manager list to ensure all text are converted to curves. Of course, this is a pain in the neck as I have many pages and objects to work on.
Note: I had discovered some text in a) groups, b) locked, and c) embedded properties often found not selected at all.
My manuals include locked objects with text, illustration diagrams with text, paragraph and artistic text.
I sized the canvas to 8.5 and 11. I layed the pic out and used 24pt type, but when I printed it, it came out tiny and looked like 1pt type.
View 1 Replies View RelatedInstead of adding text as a prefix or suffix i would like to know if it is possible aswell to remove text from within text: For example:
I have these texts "I am not good", "he is not good", "what not to be" And i would like to remove the word "not" from all selected text so i would get "i am good", "he is good" , "what to be". The set word not will always be the same, so there is no need for user string input.
I received an Illustrator file in which I have to implement a translated text. I see the text cursor, but when I try to select text it disappears and I cannot see how much of a sentence or word is selected. I can delete the selection or write something else in its place, but I am working "blind" without seeing how much of text I selected until I change it or delete it. I see nothing unusual in Preferences. It is the only Illustrator file that behave that way.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHave a document that has several artboards in it. (kinda like a multipage document). Each page is similar, but some of the text boxes has variations from page to page. So if I am zoomed in on page 1 to one text box and I select some text, using the type tool, and then hit SHIFT-page down (or page up) to go to the next page, it won't. Switch to a different tool, and it works.
Â
WHY? Why can't I use a keyboard short cut to jump to another page while in the type tool mode? I don't want to take my hand off the keyboard or move the mouse.
Illustrator 15.1/CS5 on Mac used to display selected text in reverse and would show handles for text on a path. Now it does neither.

How do I select all the text and change the same letters to a selected color at once, I know how to change the color for a letter one by one, but it is too tedious.
I've noticed an odd issue when we upgraded from X4 to X5. On an identical document when we select a text block, in X5 the block "jumps" up and to the left by about 10 pixels. Below is a video of this peculiar behavior. X5 shown on the left, X4 shown on the right. Both documents are identical.

I was wondering if there is a way to edit single line text when there are multiple objects selected. I have multiple text which need their justification edited but there are non-text items amongst them. Instead of clicking on each of them I would like to just select the area and then edit the text as required.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am currently trying to cut out a word from another word in Illustrator. I have managed to do this several times before but both options I have used in the past simply are not working for me today.
As you can see from the attached image, I have 'cut out' the word 'I'm' from the word 'hungry'. (You can see straight through to what ever colour, fabric etc is underneath the logo).
Â
Today I am trying to update my logo and the usual methods aren't working for me.
Â
1. Type > Create Outlines > Divide
2. Object >Compound Path > Make
Â
Usually I can simply delete the 'cut out' text from the image but I keep receiving an error messages that I don't understand.
Â
1. "The filter cannot complete because more than one object is selected"
2. "Can't make a compound path. All objects in a compound path must be paths, and they cannot be brushed or part of an object."
Â
I am a complete novice and I have never encountered these errors before. What used to be a simple 3 step cut out command is now a nightmare. I must be doing something wrong, maybe I have missed a step and not realised?
One of the most annoying and enduring features of VS - its been present in every version I have used from 11+ to X5 - is its ability to change a user selected text colour when entering titles, and be damned to the choice made by the user.
It happens when having entered the text of a title, one is trying to get a good readable contrast between the colour of the text and the background images it is displaying on. Selecting the text, a size and colour choice is exhibited in the edit panel. Selecting the colour 'square,' there are 3 choices presented - 32 simple ones on a palette or the choice of a much wider range using either Coral or windows colour pickers. Using either one of these latter pickers, selecting a colour and clicking OK inevitably gets a message panel that the colour has its been changed to something else. That sort of result is unsatisfactory, especially as it becomes a never ending circle.Corel may as well not offer the option for colour pickers at all as have the program do that.
This result has infected and frustrated every one of the hobby movie group I work with using VS as the editor. Screen colours are only pixels, and if a user makes a bad choice they can always change it. What options are available to to turn this sort of behaviour OFF??
I need a LISP program that prompts: "select text(s)" then I select for example 100 text in open drawing file.
after that this program creat a file (LIST.CSV) and write each selected text in line by line of this file:
result text file (LIST.CSV ) should be:
Text1
Text2
Text3
...
...
Text99
Text100
 ofcourse Text1 is the content of a text object.
Any routine (perhaps a lisp) to move, rotate and align text with one swift command?
Something like this video below.
