Slight problem...!
 

Hey,

Using Photoshop CS2 on my Mac - worked fine since i've got it except for tonight it won't let me type for some reason!? Worked last night but now it's not.

I draw the text box, then type but nothing appears...? :(

Yes i've checked:

> Background is contrasting colour
> Opacity + Fill = 100%
> Everything else that i can think of...

Anyone else had this problem? I've tried restarting PS, not my mac yet - doing that now.

Any replies welcome :)

I said something like that last night but i got an error, after i restarted my comp it went away.
If the restart doesn't work i don't know what will.

Re: Slight problem...!
 

Nope, restart didn't work...

No error - just doesn't work :(

I know this might sound silly, but is you keyboard working otherwise, because you kight want to check the connection Etc..

If not, then i can't help you really, im not fortunate enough to have photoshop

LOL! I'm typing these messages aren't I! :p hehe

Thanks anyway :)

EDIT: Ok got some slight progress, i CAN type, but 6pt text size is MASSIVE on the screen, so that's screwed up. Only on photoshop though?!

EDIT2: Ok, anyone know how to change the font size measuring from 'pt' to 'px' - ie. pints to pixels?? It's VERY annoying! :(

Re: Slight problem...!
 

Ok, fixed.

To change from points to pixels for your font go to Photoshop>Preferences>Rules and Units then change the font unit to pixels.

Type your text on a new layer, that's the only thing I can think of that is wrong.
