Hello. I am a TOTAL NEWB at photoshop. I am basically trying to take an existing bitmap of a folder tab (like a graphic for a manilla folder used for filing), and the part where you would write the text, I want to replace the text with my own. Someone showed me how to do it an "easy" way by duplicating the layer so you can get edit the "background" image, then select the color using the eyedropper tool, and then erasing the text. It worked great the first time. But then when I tried it with the second image, it did not work. It keeps erasing the text leaving the checkered transparent layer image behind it instd of the color I chose. I believe there were other ways to do this like the clone tool or just brushing it over with the correct color, but I was curious as to how I could get this way to work. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I tried switching my foreground background colors and still no-go. Thanks!
