Re: [photoshop-beginners] Help with seeing text

Double click on the text layer icon in the layers pallet and make sure that in the tools bar that you have the left justification checked.  If you have the right justification checked, it may place the text outside the box.

I have checked all those things except I am unsure what you mean about double clicking on the text icon..are you talking about in the tool box or in the layer pallet? I am trying to do this tutorial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XElUS201fM8 and am stuck when I have generated the text and have pasted it into the layer pallet, I cannot not see it..using black on a white background...have tried multiple sizes of text.                   Nancy

double click on the text icon.  should highlight the text.  check that the color box at the top is not the same as the background.  Check to see if the font size is correct.  Make sure the text layer is the top layer,

The first thing is to make sure your text isn't larger than your text box.

I am hoping someone can help me... I have a text field..but when I type, the text doesn't show. If I exit the field, the title is in my layers panel that I typed but I cannot see the text. I am typing in black on a white background. Can anyone tell me what is wrong that I cannot see the text. I am ready to have a breakdown I am so frustrated.                     Nancy Halsey
