Is there anyway to change the color of text in just a specific selection?? When I use a selection tool to change the color in part of my text, it still changes color of the entire text layer. Any way to get around that? (I need to know for a logo I'm designing. The text is going to lie over a red box, but I want the part of the text that lies within the box to be white.) Does that make sense?? Confused

One way to do it:
Add a new layer above the text and select the area where you want to change the text color. Add the color to the selection and clip the layer to the text layer.
