I had some trouble with Adobe Photoshop CS2 today. I was doing some mock ad banners for a client, and whenever I went to tag the banner with text, it wasn’t visible. I tried changing the font to some really common ones like Arial and Times New Roman, but nothing seemed to work. All the display area showed was a dot and a line where the text was supposed to be when I edited it, and it wasn’t visible at all after anchoring it! The text layer was still there though.
I found out, PS does this when the background color and the text color are the same, so you can see the run length of your text. Change the text color back to black, worky worky
So if your text looks like this (when editing), don’t waste an hour trying to figure out what is going on!
