I have a text field in an image, and would like to edit the text. In the past, all I’ve had to do is select the text tool, then click on it/near it, and it would select that text for editing.

Now for some reason, anytime I click with the text tool near the existing text, it creates new text fields.. I can’t select the old text.

Is there a way to do this?

The text will be on its own layer – double click on the layer in the layer palette and your text will be selected

Did you save the file flattened?

If so, it is not text any more and can not be edited.

Thanks for the replies guys. turns out I had ‘rasterized’ (accidentally, somehow) it and it was no longer text..
