 |

Hi,
I'm new to Photoshop and so far I love the program. I'm having a problem inserting text on a photo, looks like it should be easy but it does not show up on the layer? What am I not doing?
Thanks,
Peter |

You need to describe in detail what you're doing before anyone can say what you're doing wrong. |

Thanks Hawkeye...I'm using CS4 and have a photo I'm trying to put text over top of. I clicked on the horizontal type tool, clicked on the photo and when I start typing but nothing appears on the photo. When I look at the layers area on the lower right of the screen I can see a layer was created and I see the text I typed but its not on the photo?

Is the text layer above the image layer? |

It appears to be, I arranged it to "bring to front" but no change?

Is the text size large enough to see? Is a color set for the text that will show up against the image? Is the text layer blend mode set to normal? |

Text size is 36 point and even tried larger, i'm using a contrasting colour and the blend mode is set to normal. I even copied the image into another layer and tried to insert text there and still nothing. If I open a new project I can type there so its something to do with the images I'm working with I think. I'm pretty sure I have been able to insert text on other projects, its just wierd.
