I can’t seem to put text in a picture. Here’s what I did:

I clicked on T, after choosing a font type and size, then I clicked on the picture at where I wanted the text to be, and then type in the text.

What I got was a very, very small line of test, that does not seem to respond to increase font size. I had to enlarge the photo before I can even see it. Please tell me what I’m doing wrong?

I think you made an incredibly small text box. Try clicking and dragging to enlarge the box.

Hi Brad:

I dragged out a larger bax, but the small text does not enlarge accordingly. BTW, shouldn’t the cursor enlarge along with increasing the font size? It does not.

Ok, just tried out what you did – I was answering off the top of my head before. You don’t have to drag a text box, and my cursor _does_ enlarge as I change font sizes. I don’t know what to tell you, maybe someone has seen this before (This was on CS1 not CS2 however, so that may make a difference). Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

If the file has been flattened, you won’t be able to edit the text after you type it.
If you’ve saved/closed a jpeg, you’ve flattened it.

If you see more than one layer over in the Layers, and you want to change the text, then —
1. click on the Type layer
2. click the T icon in the tools palette
3. Double-click/otherwise highlight the text to change
4. Change the font attributes
5. click the check mark to commit the changes

If creating new text, and it doesn’t have the desired attributes, then after typing and committing,
follow steps 3-5.

I’m using PSCS2.

Yep he didn’t select the text before trying to increase its size

Tip – just double click on the ‘t’ image in the layers palette and that will select the text
