  How do I reselect the type to change.  I have a text template that I want to, but when I try to select it with the text tool always creates a new text layer.  How to change the type of the layer in my registered design?

  OK, Bob. This give a try.

  First, open a new file and make sure the background is white, not on Transparent that I suspect you have currently defined.

  

  Then, type your copy. Your layers panel will then look like the top of this picture...:

  

  and when you drag the text on the image layer, it will look like the lower part of the sample above.

  You can then position the text layer with the tool move

• Editing existing text layer...

  Hello

  I am running CS4 on Vista 64-bit and a PS script in Javascript programming...

  I struggle to change an existing layer in a file .psd I open.

  The script is quite simple:

  1. open the .psd file

  2 change the alignment of the content, size, font of the EXISTING text layer

  -> Note: this text EXISTING layer has an applied existing LAYER STYLE

  3. close the file

  Everything works well except the part 2. The reason why I change this EXISTING text layer is, b/c it is already exactly positioned where it should do and the desired layer style is already applied...

  Here is what I tried:

  I. I thought given that the layer is already a LAYER of TEXT it is not necessary to set the TEXT properties once again - I used this code:

  textLayer var docRef.layers = ['text layer ']; define the text existing in a VAR layer
  docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;

  textLayer.font = "regular"; _Aviano
  textLayer.size = 36;
  textLayer.style = "Regular";
  textLayer.antiAliasMethod = AntiAlias.SHARP;
  textLayer.contents = "test change."

  -> Problem: the script runs without error, but the changes are NOT applied.

  II. I defined the existing text layer to be a LAYER of TEXT - I used this code:

  textLayer var docRef.layers = ['text layer ']; define the text existing in a VAR layer
  docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
  textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
  var T1 = textLayer.textItem;
  T1.font = "regular"; _Aviano
  T1. Size = 36;
  T1.style = "Regular";
  T1.antiAliasMethod = AntiAlias.SHARP;
  T1.contents = "test change."

  -> Problem: this concerns the changes, BUT the actual text font size applied is 120 (!) - I have to multiply by 0.3 to actually get to 36 and this does not work all the time... very, very strange... I guess it has to do with the fact that redefine us a layer of EXISTING text as a text element...

  III. I have of course...:

  1. create a NEW text layer
  2. apply all my properties

  3. then place it at the exact location where the EXISTING text layer

  Problem: creation and styles (properties) work fine, BUT when I get the coordinates through .bounds and when I apply the [0] and [1] values it does NOT match the position (too high)... applying the [0] and [3] values does NOT either (too low) mtach... I have to split the difference between these two?

  Thanks for your help in advance!

  The reason text has not changed in your first example is that you set the font, size, etc to the layer not the textItem prperties. You fixed that in the example following you.

  When you work with pixels, you must assign the baseUnit if the doc is not 72 dpi. Something like that

  UnitValue.baseUnit = UnitValue ((1/docRef.resolution),'in');// the default value is 1/72
  textLayer var docRef.layers = ['text layer ']; define the text existing in a VAR layer
  docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
  var T1 = textLayer.textItem;
  T1.font = "regular"; _Aviano
  T1. Size = UnitValue (36, 'px');
  T1.style = "Regular";
  T1.antiAliasMethod = AntiAlias.SHARP;
  T1.contents = "test change."

  The size is now 36 pixels. If you do not want to change the baseUnit you can change the resolution as proposed by Xbytor.

  Also if you want to match the position of a text layer, use the property textItem.position instead of the boundaries of the layer.

• Can someone help me? I'm trying to edit the text I used for menus, but it won't let me

  the text box in the Muse leaves me no xhange the wording of the menu option

  The text in the menus can only be changed directly if you have the type of menu set to manual, otherwise you will need to change the names of the pages themselves in the view plane.

• Trying to set up wireless for HP Deskjet 3054 A! Help, please!

  I'm trying to set up the connection for my HP 3054 A wireless to my computer and the router so I can print wireless.  I had an old HP printer implemented and that Wi - Fi was very well but then I got a new modem from century link and the wireless was completely messed up.

  I use a MacBook Pro using 10.9.2 CD software is obsolete and only works on 10.5 and 10.6 then please do not mention following the instructions of the software.  The software "seems" to have downloaded the update to the Apple software, BUT I do not have any folder of HP or any installation assistant that I can find to help.

  My modem is an ActionTec PK5000 and has a WPS button near the bottom.  I tried to connect using the WPS button and all I get is "Error WPS" about 1/2 way through.  All I get is a blue light flashing for a wireless connection on the printer.  I'm so confused because under my wifi options, it lists "HP-Setup-87-Deskjet-3050A-J611" as a connection option?

  Ugh.

  I spent way too much time on this and thought that someone here would have some suggestions.

  Thank you!

  SOLUTION *.

  Please NOTE: I am running OS 10.9.2 on a Macbook Pro using an Actiontec Qwest/Qwest PK5000 modem.  It is the solution that worked for me.  If you have a different operating system or brand of modem or a computer - I can't talk about what will work for you.

  1. you will connect the printer via what is called a Web server integrated (EWS) - not through WPS, is not using a PIN or a push button, what are the options of the printer.

  2. make sure that your printer is reset by default.  To do this - press the button on the printer control panel wireless and navigate to "restore to the factory settings."

  3. then - make sure your modem is on and your ethernet cable is connected the modem to the computer.

  4. then - you'll want to navigate through your browser to this page http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5115807&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us

  and select your operating system like 10.8 and press Next.  "Driver-product installation software" press the sign + and download the package on your computer.  I don't think it would work as it says 10.8 and 10.9 not but it works very well in the end.

  5. open the packaging of the HP software for the HP utility, and his assistant installation etc.

  6. run the installer of HP.

  7. before you "add a printer" make sure you that you logged into your wifi connections for a connection which identifies (or should) in your wifi networks as something like "HP-Setup-XX-Deskjet 3050 a J611" not the normal wifi connection you can use.

  8. now 'add printer '.  The computer should find the device and it should show as "Hello multifunction" rather than "USB" (which is what I kept getting).

  9. now - go to the HP utility page and you will see the different sections of information about your device.

  10. find the section "Printer - additional parameters.

  11. then you should see a box that says ' the selected printer can be configured using a built-in web server.  Discover patterns and information on the printer by pressing the button below. »

  12. press the button.

  13. This will connect you to the embedded online Web server.

  14. When you're on the embedded - Web server you will see several tabs at the top of the page.  Go to the tab that says 'network '.

  15 then the coast - find the wireless configuration wizard.  Who will guide you through connecting to the wifi network you use and configure your printer.

  16. After you run the installation wizard, you should be able to unplug your ethernet cable, go back to your wifi connected and normal that you use your printer up and everything should be good.

  It worked for me and I hope this saves people a lot of time dressing and that this will work for you as well.

  Good luck.

   

• Cannot enter text of paragraph in Ps CC 2015 - help please!

  When I hit enter to return the cursor disappears and opens a new layer, even if the type is not listed there either.  Do not have this problem in Ps CC 2014.  Ideas anyone?

  You can try a reset preference:

  Win: Press and hold the keys Ctrl + Alt + Shift immediately after the launch of Photoshop starting. A box will appear asking if you want to continue with the reset, select 'yes '. If you don't see this, you're not fast enough... Try again.

  Mac: Hold down Cmd + Opt + shift and run Photoshop. A box will appear, asking you if you want to continue with the reset, select 'yes '.

  No one can tell you anything without the proper system or other technical details info. This error means that you already have an ACR update installed, and so the old version installed with AE may not make sense. in these circumstances, you will need to uninstall any other Adobe program you use or you run the cleanup tool...

• Modification of the text in an existing text layer.

  PES 9 under Mac Snow Leopard running.

  I have a picture of family consisting of several layers of text.  I am trying to edit the text in a layer selected large multiline text.  I'm following the steps in the appropriate article of PSE help, but I always end up creating a new layer and no-go/go red/green option.    I thought that I should just be able to double-click on the text layer and start editing.

  

  Select the text tool. Single- click in the text where you want to start editing. You can also click and drag to select some of the text, and then type in the new, replacing the selection.

  Note: Editing the text does not work if she has been simplified.

• BlackBerry Smartphones how can I create a new contact from an unknown SMS/text?

  Hey.  When I receive an SMS to a number, I don't know how easily I add them as a contact, while in my Inbox, it shows me their names and not their number?  I tried to look on the forums but cannot find an easy solution.  There must be a quick way to do it, no?

  Really?  Because you can easily do it with the curve.  You have to pull up the menu while in the text and select "create a new contact."

  Thanks for the attempt if.

  OK, so my OS has been upgraded last night (at v5.0.0.743 v5.0.0.862) and I now have the ability to add SMS numbers as contacts.

  So, to add the SMS number as a contact, simply do the following:

  In the SMS of the person you want to add, click on the BB button, and then select Add to Contacts. Fill in the details required for the person.

  If you do not have this option, then you can upgrade the operating system on your BB. RIM sometimes falls options from version to version of the OS, but return them to the successive versions.
