Problem with adding text to photos in PE6 on my iMac

I can't seem to add text to any photo. I have a new iMac, installed PE6, and all other features seem to be working fine. I even reset all tools to default just to be sure I didn't tweak something. When I click on the Text tool and click on a photo, a small square appears (almost like a dot) and nothing appears when I type...however a new Text layer appears in the layer manager. Doesn't matter how large I make the text...it does not show up. Tried rearranging the layers..every trick I could think of. Anyone else ever have this problem?? Any suggestions greatly appreciated! I really hope I'm just have a serious brain twitch here and that's it's not a PE issue. Never had this problem with any Photoshop programs on my PC...
Thanks!

Hi Barbara
Thanks for your response. I am trying to add text to cropped and edited photos, they are 4x5 and 300dpi. I went ahead and tried increasing font size to 200, still nothing. I've tried all types of images, from my original raw versions to ones edited down to web size, to no avail.
I'm beginning to feel like I'm banging my head against the wall :)

  • Problem with adding text to a syntax document

    Hello,
    I am trying to write an editor with syntax highlighting option.
    The syntax document works fine but on a slow computer
    after loading a huge document it is impossible to write fluently.
    I think the method highlightKeyword() is not the problem because it highlights still only one line.
    The problem seems to be the rootElement.Has anybody an idea how to make the rootElement faster
    working?
    I also tried to use threads (such as http://ostermiller.org/syntax/editor.html) for inserting text, but then the document is highlighted very slowly.
    Can anybody help me?

    I don't think the root element is the problem. Syntax highlighting is just plain slow for a large file. Here is an example, you can use for comparison purposes, that does [url http://www.discoverteenergy.com/files/SyntaxDocument.java]syntax highlighting. It is very slow when loading large files into the text pane, but works reasonably when modifying the contents of the text pane.

  • Problem with adding text area in scroll pane

    hi , i have been facing this funny problem , but cant able to get solution.
    the problem is i am trying to add text area in scroll pane , but when i add textarea in scroll pane using scrollpane.add(textarea) that text area remain disable always. i tried making it enable explicility but that code is not working.

    You don't use the add(...) method for JScrollPane. Use:
    a) new JScrollPane( textArea );
    b) scrollPane.getViewport().setView( textArea );

  • Problem with append += text in Text Field

    Hi guys
    i have a problem with append text.
    I have one array which contain some city names, like CityArea=["NAME 1", "NAME2" ...etc];
    Then i have one String and one Text Field.
    Using for loop im getting right results. But when im running script again then im getting  same text again.
    F.ex.
    First time:
    City name: Name 1
    City name: Name 2
    Second time:
    City name: Name 1
    City name: Name 2
    City name: Name 1
    City name: Name 2
    I have tried to make TextField to and String to Null and delete it, but it's appearing again.. :/
    How to avoid this?
    Here is script:
    for (var i1:int = 0; i1 < CityArea.length; i1++)
      _CityAreaString1 += "<P ALIGN='LEFT'><FONT FACE='Verdana' SIZE='32' COLOR='#ffffff'>        "+CityArea[i1]+"</FONT></P>";
      _CityAreaString1 += "<P ALIGN='LEFT'><FONT FACE='Verdana' SIZE='5' COLOR='#ffffff'><BR></FONT></P>";
    _CityAreaTF1 = new TextField();
      _CityAreaTF1.border = true;
      _CityAreaTF1.wordWrap = true;
      _CityAreaTF1.multiline = true;
      _CityAreaTF1.selectable = false;
      _CityAreaTF1.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
      _CityAreaTF1.name = "CityAreaTF1";
      _CityAreaTF1.embedFonts = true;
      _CityAreaTF1.htmlText = _CityAreaString1.toUpperCase();

    I think i found why.
    There was no problem with TextField.
    There was a problem with Array. "CityArea"
    So each time I executed script it added new string in Array. And that is because i got like:
    TextField
    City 1
    City 2
    City 1
    City 2
    Running this script is Ok:
    for (var i1:int = 0; i1 < CityArea.length; i1++)
      _CityAreaString1 += "<P ALIGN='LEFT'><FONT FACE='Verdana' SIZE='32' COLOR='#ffffff'>        "+CityArea[i1]+"</FONT></P>";
      _CityAreaString1 += "<P ALIGN='LEFT'><FONT FACE='Verdana' SIZE='5' COLOR='#ffffff'><BR></FONT></P>";
    But outside of this for loop there is another for loop for adding Cities in CityArray.
    I fixed it by adding empty array at the start of function
    function myFunc():void
    CityArea = [ ]; // Empty array fixed this issue
    // LOOP FOR ADDING SHOPS IN CITY AREA
    for (var j:int = 0; j < _Shops; j++)
    CityArea.push(_Shop);
    // FOR LOOP TO ADDING SHOPS IN STRING
    for (var i1:int = 0; i1 < CityArea.length; i1++)
      _CityAreaString1 += "<P ALIGN='LEFT'><FONT FACE='Verdana' SIZE='32' COLOR='#ffffff'>        "+CityArea[i1]+"</FONT></P>";
      _CityAreaString1 += "<P ALIGN='LEFT'><FONT FACE='Verdana' SIZE='5' COLOR='#ffffff'><BR></FONT></P>";

  • Premiere Elements 13 , Problems with new text/titles

    Premiere Elements 13, bisher keine Probleme. Nachdem die Filmlänge etwa 15 Minuten beträgt immer größere Probleme Titel/texte einzugeben. Wartezeiten sind extrem lange oder Programm stürzt ganz ab.

    High ATR,
    Computer running on Widows 7 ,64 Bit System, Service Pack 1, Processor AMD Phenom(tm) X4 945 3.00 Ghz;RAM 8 GB
    Grafikkarte: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
    If the video on the timeline is longer than 10 minutes the problem will be remarkable. The response times adding a title is getting longer(2-15 seconds).
    As the video is now 18 minutes the response time is after each action(resizing of letters or any changes of the text) up to 30 seconds or the program crashes completely.
    Project settings are the following:
    General HD 1080i; 29,97frames/second; Video:1920v 1080 H, 30 fps
    Video: maximale Bittiefe, Dateiformat i-frame only mpeg, Kompressor MPRG i-Frame, Standbilder optimieren
    The video is a mixture  of full HD videos 1920x 1080 .mov and pictures up to 4608x3456 pixels.
    When the program crashes I remarked that the main memory RAM(8Gb) was fully used by the premiere program. Might there be a problem?
    Thank you for your service.

  • Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit...

    Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit 7.1.18.0 to my Nokia 5800
     I am trying to import a csv file that contains text messages (Note that this file was created using PC Suit 7.1.18.0) to a subfolder that I have created to My Folders but PC Suits only imports the text messages to the Draft folder. Note that initially it shows that the messages are import in the correct folder but after a refresh it shows them in the Draft Folder. Is their any setting that I should change in the PC Suit or the phone? My computer runs on Windows XP Service Pack 3 and the Nokia 5800 was upgraded to the latest firmware v20.0.012
     Thanks for your help

    Most phones only allows importing of draft and archived box for SMS.
    To do a restoring, you need to backup the SMS as a .nbu file using PC Suite and restore later.
    If you got an SD card, you can also do a backup on the SD Card (backup.arc) then restore later (reset and restore: backup.arc and mmc).

  • Problem with adding Sun JSF RI v1.2 as a new library in JDeveloper 10.1.3.1

    Hi,
    I have a problem with adding a latest JSF 1.2 RI from Sun (https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/files/documents/1866/44998/jsf-1_2_03.zip) to JDeveloper as a new library.
    I created a new User library and added into it jsf-impl.jar and jsf-api.jar from JSF 1.2 RI.
    Then I try to create two new JSP Tag libraries based from .tld files.
    When a .tld file is placed in "TLD File:" field there is no information below about Library Version and Required JSP Version. If I check "Execute Tags in JSP Visual Editor" and click "Customize" button - list of tags in "Customize Tag Library" window is empty.
    I have errors when I try to use JSF Tags from this new library in JSP page like :
    "Can't create tag instance: f:view (class: null). Make sure, that the tag class or a library contained this class is available in this application"
    (free translation to English)
    Is this possible to add JSF RI v1.2 as another library in Jdeveloper 10.1.3.1 ?
    thanks for help
    koli

    Hi,
    This solution is not exactly for Jdeveloper 10.1.3.x I think.
    - "Create a JSF system library." section, point 2. - there is not possible to add library in folder other than User I see, so I added it in User folder.
    - "Register the JSF JSP tag libraries." section, point 5. - in JD 10.1.3 there is no dialog box, I checked checkbox "Show Tag Library in Palette". A new library was added to User folder but there is no new libraries in component Palette.
    Even as I use "Edit tag libraries .." from Component Palette context menu and add manually new tag libraries to selected, there is no libraries in Component Palette after it.
    I feel so problem is with different .tld files format, not with adding libraries method.

  • A problem with copying text from english pdf to a word file

    i have a problem with copying text from english pdf to a word file. the english text of pdf turns to be unknown signs when i copy them to word file .
    i illustrated what i mean in the picture i attached . note that i have adobe acrobat reader 9 . so please help cause i need to copy text to translate it .

    Is this an e-book? Does it allow for copying? It is possible that the pdf file is a scan of a book?

  • Problem with selecting text in Adobe Reader XI

    Hi all, I am encountering a problem with Adobe Reader XI and it is very strange I could not find an alike issue on the internet so I guess I have to submit a question with it.
    So here it is, I am using Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.2, operating system: Windows 7. I do not know it starts from when but it has the problem with selecting text - to be copied in pdf documents. I ensure that the documents are not scanned documents but word-based documents (or whatever you call it, sorry I cannot think of a proper name for it).
    Normally, you will select the text/paragraph you want to copy and the text/paragraph will be highlighted, but the problem in this case that I cannot select the text/paragraph, the blinking pointer (| <-- blinking pointer) will just stays at the same location so I cannot select/highlight anything to be copied. It happens oftenly, not all the time but 90%.
    This is very annoying as my work involves very much with copying text from pdf documents, I have to close the pdf file and then open it again so I can select the text but then after the first copying or second (if I am lucky), the problem happens again. For a few text I have to type it myself, for a paragraph I have to close all opening pdf documents and open again so I could select the paragraph to copy. I ran out of my patience for this, it causes trouble and extra time for me just to copying those texts from pdf documents. Does this problem happen to anyone and do you have a solution for this? I would much appreciate if you could help me out, thank you!

    Yeah,  I totally agree, this is very strange. I have always been using Adobe Reader but this problem only occurred ~three months ago. It must be that some software newly installed I think. But I have no idea.
    About your additional question, after selecting the texts and Ctrl + C, the texts are copied and nothing strange happens. It's just that right after I managed to copy the texts, it takes me a while to be able to select the texts again. For your information, I just tested to select the texts and then pressed Ctrl, the problem happened. And then I tried pressing C and then others letters, it all led to the problem.
    I guess I have to stick with left-clicked + Copy until I/someone figure the source of this problem. Thanks a lot for your help!

    you need -f, which sends ssh to the background, and -N which does not execute a remote command.
    If you need it to run as a user other than root, then you probably need to utilize su as well.
    it didnt work either. i am putting it in rc.local but doesnt work.

    I think you are opening your modified PDF in Apple built-in PDF Preview. Apple's code does not properly draw the comments, but if you look at the PDF in virtually any other PDF application that isn't just using Apple''s code, or on any desktop computer, you will see the comments you've added.

  • Problems with adding Library for a MySQL JDBC driver

    Good day,
    I am new with the JDeveloper package, so the following could be a user fault.
    I found the following:
    - I downloaded and installed Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.2.1.10 (latest version).
    - I downloaded the latest JDBC drivers for MySQL. ( mysql-connector-java-3.1.10 )
    Now, I did the following steps extracted from the link http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/duff/mysql_and_oc4j3.html it should be quite easy to add the JDBC Drivers to the project.
    I did the steps with the following results:
    When I Edit the Project properties, follow Profiles -> Development -> Libraries
    When I do ' New' , fill in at JS2E the value 'MySQL' and fill in the Class Path (in my case 'C:\javaInstalls\mysql-connector-java-3.1.10\mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar').
    In that case the [OK] is disabled. I should expect the [OK] button was enabled!
    My question: Is this a bug? When not, what am I doing wrong!
    Regards,
    Mike

    I tried it on an other system and had no problems with adding the libraries. It still is a problem on that particular system using the Dutch version of XP. The problem is that the Ok button stays disabled !
    Could it bw a version problem with Java? How ever no changes are made to the original configuration, so it should pick up as default the java version of JDeveloper self.

  • Problem with the text from previous year in current year appraisal (PPR)

    Hi Gurus,
    I have some problem with the text from the PPR of the previous year in the PPR current year.
    The text from the previous year have not the same displaying in the tab "previous year" of  the current year PPR.
    EXAMPLE :
    this is write in the PPR of year 2009 in Individual Targets without Incentives (tab My S-imple) :

    there is the error, all the end of the text isn't displayed and the begin of the text is repeated.
    I think that this issue is created at the creation of the PPR.
    If someone have a idea he is welcom.
