I have created an image in PS CS. Have added two type layers. Ive duplicated one of the layers and would like to edit the color of the text in the layer. However with the layer selected in the layers palette, and the type tool activated, evertime I click the layer I get a new type layer. How do I select a type layer without creating a new layer?

Double-Click The T in the layer palette to select the text with the text tool, or, while on the layer, hit Alt+Delete to change the layer to the foreground color, and Ctrl+Delete to change it to the BG color (works with shape layers too)
