Photoshop :: Text Layer

Nov 8, 2004

Photshop CS on XPP machine. I've created a new image by combining a car jpg and a scenery jpg.

In the new image the car is floating over the scenic background.

I have this new image saved as both a jpg and a psd.

I'm able to add text to the new image but I can't add effects to the text, like Stroke or Drop Shadow etc.

I've tried creating text in another new document and adding effects, but if I copy it onto the carscenery image, the effects vanish.

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 :: 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.

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')

GIMP :: How To Extract Text And Font From Text Layer

Aug 8, 2011

Gimp 2.6.8 on Linux openSUSE 11.3

I need to extract text and font from a text layer. No problem, I thought, with gimp-text-layer-get-text and gimp-text-layer-get-font.

But I find that the original text layer was cropped withplug-in-autocrop-layer. Nevertheless Gimp lets me edit the text with the text edit tool - after a confirmation dialog.

But I can't get the text with script-fu. Is there a way to manage it? There are many files involved.

Photoshop :: Can't Edit A Text Layer?

Jun 20, 2012

Cut and pasted text from a pdf to Encore menu page. The text is a bit hard to read, so I want to change the font, etc. However, I am not able to edit the text in Encore or Photoshop. I tried to recreate a new page and copied the same text, but this is how it pasted. I am not able to word wrap it or get it to appear as the original. What am I doing wrong? I have not rasterized anything. Not sure if it's point text or paragraph at this point.

Photoshop :: Same Text Layer On Several Different Pictures

Apr 12, 2005

I do a little wedding photography and like to give the married couple a disc with all the un-edited pictures of the day for them to choose in the comfort of their own homes. The problem is i want to put text layer written 'SAMPLE' across each picture and then flatten each one before saving it to stop any editing on their behalf. Do i really have to go through this for each one (usually over 100 pics) or is there a quicker route or even alternative to this?

Photoshop :: Layer Masking W/ Text

Apr 16, 2004

I'm making this image that illustrates a famous dadaist quote and one thing im trying to do is make a couple words out of a painting. This is unclear so I will explain.

I have made a layer that only has rasterised white text on it. There are three words, each spread out about two inches from the other (vertically). One of the words has a pretty interesting blur effect on it (this is significant). There is a painting I like.

I want the white text to be filled with the corresponding areas on the painting. This means the text will actually be made OF the painting. Now i considered just clicking on the outside of the text hitting select inverse and just going to the layer with the painting and cutting out the selection of the text.

However, if you remember, one of the words has an interesting blur effect which will then be lost, but I want the blur to be retained. On that note, I know this has to be done via a layer mask over the painting layer, BUT i cant paste the white text into the mask nor can i retype it without a new layer being created.

Photoshop :: Text Layer And Web Page.

Oct 2, 2004

How can I get the text layer appears as text when applying "Save optimized as" to be HTML and images?

For example:

Suppose I have a simple psd file, which includes a text layer contains the word "Hello World".

Using ImageReady I can convert it into a web page.
I want the resulting web page has the word "Hello World" as a text. i.e, The mouse cursor turns into " I beam" In other word, the word "Hello world" will be available in the page's HTML Source.

I tried to find some thing about this in the manual, but I can not find any thing.

Making the slice type "No Image" is not an option, because I have seen PSD web templates with text turns into real text on optimization and slices which include the text is image type.

Photoshop :: Layer Style With Text?

Apr 28, 2005

having some problems selecting layer style's with a text layer, I can get them easly enough with a normal layer. but when I add a text layer, trying to get the drop shadow or outer glow etc is nearly impossible.

I can double click all I like on the layers palette, and nothing happens. I know they are available, I have used them before.

I'm adding 3 text layers to an image composite (jpeg converted from raw 8 bit in CS 1 and the 3 text layers are the top 3 of 17 layers) and want all the 3 layers with the drop shadow.

Is there another way of applying layer styles? I have allready put the drop shadow on the other 13 layers (even copy layer style doesn't seem to work on the text)

Photoshop :: Text Layer Needs To Be Updated ?

Nov 6, 2008

I save a CS3 .psd file with text layers (they are actively installed on my XP system, they appear in the Photoshop type tool's drop-down list).

I close the file. I reopen it three minutes later (because I found a typo).

Upon opening, PS says:

> Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used for vector based output. Do you want to update these layers now ?

When I click on "Update", the file opens fine, all text layers display properly and can be edited.
