Can't add text

I took a screenshot of something I like.
I now want to add text. Can't do it.
I even saved as psd from a jpeg.
I click with text tool, but a new layer just wont happen. what doing wrong?

You seem to be using the wrong type tool. What the pink text is is a mask, if you commit the text it becomes a selection.
Look in the toolbox and make sure the Horizontal Type Tool is selected from the fly-out.
And curty is wrong. The normal type tool does create a layer of its own!

    How can I add text to photo in iphoto without having lion or mtn lion?

    You can't add text to a Photo in iPhoto. You need an external editor for that:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

    No. Adobe Reader is a READER, doesn't do editing of PDF files. You can't do that in Adobe Reader on Mac or Windows either.

  • How can I add text to a field based on XML tagging?

    I'm fairly new to using XML in InDesign layouts, and I'm currently facing an issue getting a bunch of content from database records formatted in a print document (text that flows over dozens of pages). I've figured out how to create an InDesign template, but I need to be able to add text between some of the XML elements in two different scenarios:
    1. Add text or line breaks before or after an XML element that always appears in the document. For example: Adding "Description:" before the XML-tagged description content, or adding a return after the last element in a list.
    2. Add text before or after an XML element only if it appears in the document. For example: If there's a second phone number, tagged "Phone2" in the XML, then I want " or " to appear before it in the layout. Otherwise there's just one phone number and it continues on to the next piece of content.
    I have tried inserting this text into the InDesign template, but keeping them means having to also keep parts of the template that aren't used on every import--so I have a bunch of "or Phone2" bits of text to find and replace afterward. That's OK, but I'd like a more elegant solution that doesn't leave potential mistakes in my layout.
    In my preliminary research so far, it looks like an XSLT or scripting might be able to handle this, but I don't know where to start. Can someone tell me if what I'm looking for is possible and suggest the best way to do it? I'm going to have to trial-and-error a solution for this myself.
    I am using ID CS6 on a Mac. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks for your reply. The line that you mention is added at the top of the message, and includes the original sender's email. I would like my name to appear, next to each line I add in the text of the original mail.
    For example:
    Assuming my name is Joe Smith, what I would like to have as the final reply is described below.
    The lines that start with "[Joe Smith]" are my replies, to the original items in the original mail.

    What you seem to be referring to is Watermarking your photos. I offer a series of free PDF's on this issue including how to create watermarks in Pixelmator and add them to Aperture so you can export your images with a protective watermark.

  • Pdf files - how can I add text to a pdf file

    I want to allow my Google group to fill info out on a Numbers form, but the Mac users evidently don't have Numbers. I sent it to them as a pdf file, but text can't be added to it as a pdf file. There has got to be a way. I tried using Tools - annotate - add text, but that didn't really work. Any help?

    You Need Adobe Acrobat to Add Text to your PDf files. Two Ways to do this.
    1. Convert your PDf to Native file like word, Excel
    2. Make Changes in the output file
    3. Convert it back to PDF
    Or

  • How can I add text to a photo?

    Is there a way in iPhoto to add text directly to a photo being edited?  With my old PC I was able to add text with Microsoft dicital image suite software.  Thanks.........Allen

    Adding text to a photo is not a feature of iPhoto.
    You can do it with
    Preview - already on your machine
    BorderFX - a free plug-in. (http://www.iborderfx.com/iborderfx/)
    or an external editor.
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)

  • Can't Add Text to Photo

    Using Photoshop Element version 8, I couldn't add text to my photos. I contacted Adobe support and opened a case and was put through a comlicated procedure to rename  my Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 Prefs.psp which I did with no success. Then I was told to create a new user home because mine had probably become corrupted and if this didn't solve the problem to uninstall and reinstall the software. I did uninsall and reinstall the software but was afraid to mess with my user home which was working properly. I still couldn't add text. Then I tried this forum, read a number of posts. Then I read a post by (Tricia_Rouse). She wrote "if all else fails..First try resetting the Text Tool". First make sure the text tool is highlighted. Next go to the Re-set button to re-set this particular tool. In Elements 8 there is a nearly invisible donward facing triangle. Click this tool and then click "Resey Tool" It worked after I had spent the better part of 16 hours on this preoblem. I hope this helps someone. J_Beginner

    Thanks everyone... I am quite ready to shoot the screen too! And to have it happen on TWO computers on the very same day...
    I will try all of your suggestions...
    SaurabhGupta, I had thought of adding a new layer but have never done it before; now I will just do it.... shouldn't be too hard. I think there must be a place that says "add layer" like in Power Point, which I just taught myself.
    Alexander, I will also try typing in 200 size font.
    Barbara, I seem to be having trouble with both images, from my memory stick AND with photobucket, as well as images I've downloaded to "my pictures".
    I am also thinking about sending the image to tech support and seeing if they can figure it out. But in the meantime, I will try all of your suggestions to see what happens.
    I will be away from my computer till Thursday but will check back via laptop; won't be any way to access PSE till I get back.
    Thank you all SO much for your suggestions!! I so appreciate the support.

  • I can't add text to a scanned document-I'm using textedit

    I scanned a receipt page with our logo, name & address & want to add text but when I attach the blank receipt to an email it won't let me add text to the interior of the document

    When you scan a document it makes it like a photographic file, not really editable. You did not indicate what file format the file is in so your post makes very little sense. Perhaps if  you advised what file the receipt is in now someone can provide some advice. Right now, at best if you open the file in Preview you can use Tools - Annotate to do some very minor editing.
