All,
I have what I assumed would be a pretty simple task, however it has turned into a pain. I’m creating for a series of digital stamps for an application that processes checks. Stamps will say things like, Previously rejected – Do not redeposit. The app based on a status calls a file and it is placed on top of the check file.
Anyway the specs are black and white, 1 bit and tiff. SO, I’m typically an AI user so once I realized AI didn’t do 1 bit tiffs I turned to PS…which I don’t know that well. When I create a new document and make it bitmap, 1bit and the size I need, I’m VERY limited with what I can do with the text. I’m not really sure what’s going on. I click on the screen with the text selection tool and the artboard area turns pick. I can’t edit my text once I click off of it and it’s basically blinking black and white??? There is no text layer created, I can’t create layers, the text is added to the background layer (which is locked and can’t be unlocked).
Could someone lead me down the path to glory here? I’m struggling.
I have the AI and PS CS3.
Thanks,
Micah
