Why the text tool does not work?

whenever I choose the text tool that doesn't work. It allows me to create the bar, but the curosor doesn't even blink. I type and its Blanck. I hit accept the test I typed shows on the layer, but not on the screen, I need help. I've even updated, reinstalled. I need help I am ready to throw my laptop. Please someone

Is this a new problem with an old facility?

Or a new facility and the Type of tool has never worked?

What is the size of the image in pixels and resolution?  Something that sometimes happens is that people get the wrong units and I think they are pixel setting when it is in fact centimeters.  If you have a low resolution game, like the default 72 dpi, which can cause the tiny text, it might as well be invisible.  This is particularly problematic when the Type is set on Points.  To test simply do a new document with reasonable proportions.  that is 1000 x 1000 pixels, 300 dpi

Another test is to select the text layer and use free transform, or zoom so you can see if you have a small bounding box.

If this isn't the question and the text color is not the same as the background, then...

First step is to reset the preferences.  (The relocation does not overwrite the preferences file).

Also try resetting subject tools.

Then uninstall Photoshop and use the cleaning tool before reinstalling.

  • The text tool does not work in Photoshop CC

    When I try to use the text tool, that it does nothing when I type even if the font size is 12, and the color is black on a white background, and then when I try to get out of the text tool a progress bar will appear that says "Record type" and the progress bar does not until 15 minutes later. After that, no text shows. I tried to move the text tool above where I have used it previously, and the cursor doesn't detect any text in the box.

    This is a brand new installation of photoshop, I did not any customizations to it.

    My operating system is a Mac with OS X 10.7.5.

    I already tried things:

    …………………………………………….

    -J' tried to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CC and creative cloud.

    -J' tried to change the font size, color. Each took 15 minutes due to the type of rendering progress bar.

    -J' tried to change major fonts such as Verdana, Arial, etc..

    -J' did the steps on this page to troubleshoot fonts:

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop/KB/troubleshoot-fonts-Photoshop-CS5.html

    It was the procedure on this page:

    S ' ensure that Photoshop is the most recent version.

    -Clear overview of the policies.

    -Delete the specified fonts known to cause trouble.

    -Clear cache fonts photoshop

    -Clear cache OS police

    -Try to remove everything except a font on the Mac and keep the rest in another folder.

    -Use their fonts test script.

    Now the police only that I have in my folder of Mac fonts is Arial.ttf

    I did all these things, and the problem still occurs. All other tools works fine for me! I need to use photoshop for graphics work, I need to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I found the problem! When I pressed 'File' > 'New' to make a new document, I typed in the 1000, but I'm used to the measures in pixels, not inches. The new facility was in inches lol. The Web was gigantic! Once I put it to a smaller size that the text tool worked great! I feel stupid, I over looked that.

  • For Acrobat 9. Editing text tool does not work.

    Acrobat 9. Editing text tool does not work - even on documents created with my computer using fonts. Problem 2: when you try to export to Word 2010 there is no option for format Dox, only the .doc that belonged to earlier versions of Word.

    When you run the Recognize text command, you can select ClearScan for PDF output style. This then allows to modify the text in the PDF document. Right now, you probably use the searchable Image option by default when running OCR, which creates an invisible text layer in your document under the actual image. That's why the change does not appear in your document, but it is displayed when you export to Word. Here's a little trick that explains what you need to do:

  • "The cutting tool does not work on your computer right now. Restart etc. "comes when I select the Snipping Tool icon.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    `

    When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • Why the object_not_found exception does not work?

    Posters,

    I have the following statement in a package.procedure:

    -- (...)
    Start

    Select dbms_metadata.get_dependent_ddl ('INDEX', 'OWNER', sTableName)
    in the cDDL - clob for index DDL
    of the double
    -- (...)

    exception
    When dbms_metadata.object_not_found then
    null;

    end;

    Execution is stopped in the select, not enter the exception and the following message is displayed in PL/SQL Developer MicroHelp:

    + "ORA-31608: specified object type INDEX not found." + "

    I did it another way by adding the following clause:

    -- (...)
    Start

    Select dbms_metadata.get_dependent_ddl ('INDEX', 'OWNER', sTableName)
    in the cDDL - clob for index DDL

    It works, but: why the object_not_found exception does not work?

    Thanks in advance for everyone!

    Oh I just noticed:

    What happens if instead of this:

    you say:

  • The cutting tool does not work after windows updates.

    I read answers to similar questions about the failure of the cutting tool.  I use the tool cutting regularly and I think it's a fantastic tool in Windows. I have Vista Ultimate and all my windows updates have managed: none were not installed correctly, and I did not install new programs or hardware.  It seems that Microsoft knows the snipping tool does not - why can't they simply provide an update patch to correct the problem, rather than make us do all the work.  I don't have to go through hoops of restorations etc to get something it seems work was broken by updates.  I'm about to go to a Mac.

    It worked for me! Thank you!

  • Change the size of the text only does not work

    Font size standard on most of the Windows I have open in Windows 8 is a 5 or 6. I'm in front of my computer, 6 to 8 hours per day (teacher online), and it's the single most annoying problem that I have ever met.  "Change the size of the text only ' on my display settings page is grey - there is no solution.  Can I change the size of everything, that gives me giant icons, but the text on all the windows is still tiny.

    I hope someone has a useful suggestion. Please don't tell me to go to "Change the size of text only." This is the function that does not work.
    My Windows 8 was purchased in January - part of the Microsoft $! 5 offer to people who bought computers between October and December of last year. The installation went fairly well, but I had this problem of fonts since then.  ASUS computer laptop, Intel core I7, good resolution, good speed, ideal machine, except that Windows has me squint all that day, seven days a week.

    Hi Reggie

    The option "Change only the size of the text" applies only to the text for the following items.

    Title bars

    Menus

    Message boxes

    Titles of palette

    Text of the icon

    ToolTips

    What you need to do is select the link "Custom resizing options" directly above the option "Change only the text size.

    In the dialog box move the cursor in the rule box, hold down the left button of the mouse and drag the rule. If the size is 100%, try to start with it to 125%.

    Click OK, and then apply. You will be asked to disconnect / connect to before the change takes effect.

    If 125% does not for you try to bump the size up one another 10% gradually until you are satisfied.

    Let us know if it works for you.

  • Assignment of attributes of the shape (contour/background) to existing shape via the screening tool does not work...

    Hey guys,.

    in earlier Versions of Photoshop CC I could choose an existing shape, then assign attributes by using the drop-down list of the screening of the tool (i.e. of the pen tool). My workflow has been something like this:

    -Initially affect the attributes via the drop down menus of contour/background while the pen tool is selected.

    -Create a "Preset" tool contour/background settings.

    -Assign these settings to various forms via the Preset drop-down list.

    My habit of presets custom newly created "work more, it still works for the"integrated"Presets, though (i.e. peanut Dash preset the tool pen).

    Anyone having the same problem / found a solution?

    TIA!

    SEB

    In fact, one click worked, there was just a delay. My drop down remains open. Have you tried to reset your preferences - first of the tool, and then for the PS, if this does not work?

  • The eyedropper tool does not work in the levels, curves adjustments

    I have installed PS CS 5 extended on a new computer with Vista Home Premium. Any other version of Photoshop has already been installed on this system.

    The problem I encounter is the eyedropper tools in the two curves and levels adjustment does not work. The real sliders seem to work fine, but clicking on a dropper and then a spot on the photo has no effect at all on the image.

    I encounter this problem when I run the 64 bit version of the program. It occurs only in the standard version of CS5, I need to continue to use because of plugin incompatibility with the 64-bit version.

    I checked what is obvious and ensure that the 'Preview' is checked, and that I have the correct layer selected!  


    For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm sorry to hear that none of those things cleaned up the problem for you.  I am almost sure this is a video driver issue, and it is unfortunate that the latest version of the driver does not solve it.  As a general statement: the Intel GPU and OpenGL drivers are known to be problematic with Photoshop.  A good number of people with Intel GPU report a problem on this forum.

    Just to be absolutely sure...  You have disabled the drawing OpenGL, closed and reopened in Photoshop, and the problem remains the same?  Have you tried both ways after the release of the pilot?  Make sure and close and reopen Photoshop after the change is made.

    There is another thing you could try...  Clear preferences for Photoshop 32-bit.  Press and hold Ctrl - Shift - Alt immediately after you start Photoshop of its menu item or a shortcut.  If you're fast enough, you will be asked if you want to restore all of the default preferences.
