Painter1313 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hi all -- I have browsed the forums and the website help, but can't find anything that discusses this. After I paste an image and try to use the text tool, I don't see the words I type. Meaning: I paste an image, move it to where I would like it. Then I choose the text tool, and click where I would like the text to go. I choose the color I would like (black and the background of the image is white) and try to type. The cursor moves along as if I was typing, but no letters show up. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBlackLamb Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Are you typing the text on a different layer to the image? Quote dA Son, someday you will make a girl happy for a short period of time. Then she'll leave you & be with men that are ten times better than you can imagine. These men are called musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter1313 Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 I don't believe so...? I simply Ctrl+C (or Ctrl+X) to copy (or cut) a section out of the image I am working with. Then I Ctrl+V to paste the section and then move it to where I would like it to go. After that I hit the text button and the situation I described above happens...?

BoltBait Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 After pasting and before using the text tool, press ESC. This will cancel your selection and allow you to type text anyware on your canvas.

Sozo Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Thank you for using a relevant title when you post (instead of Help Please!!!, etc). Anyway, I think they ^ identified your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter1313 Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Excellent, that worked, thank you!! And yes Commander, I really did try to find the answer in the forum before I posted, so I read enough to figure out the rules on topic titles.
