Changing text in a photo?

Please forgive me if this is in the wrong place, new to PS and this forum. Can anyone tell me if or how you can change text in a photo? I have a picture that I took of a store front with a neon sign. I want to be able to change what the neon sign says. Can I do this and if so, how? Any links to tutorials would be great. Thanx

You'll probably get more help over on the main Photoshop forum.

Basically you would need to clone out the old text and replace it with your own, but there may be a bit more to it than that depending on the image such as the need to scale and distort the text. How you best do that depends, to some extent, on which version of PS you are using.

  • In the new Keynote how does one find the Wrap Inspector to wrap text around a photo??? Thanks

    In the new keynote, the help section refers to the Wrap Inspector.  How does one find that or how does one wrap text around a photo??   Thanks

    You can also use the shape tool to draw a shape roughly following the outline of the graphic you want to wrap text around, change the fill and stroke to "none", then paste your text within the shape. It's a few more steps, but it opens you up to many creative alternative layouts.

  • How do i add text to my photos?

    How do i add text to my photos - previously you could do this on iphoto

    Many users find the excellent and highly-recommended BorderFX more than meets their needs.
    A couple of things to note:
    - "Photos" misleads us into an understanding of what we manipulate with our computers that differs from what our computers are programmed to manipulate.  Within Aperture, you have Images (called, imho confusingly, also Versions and also Photos); outside of Aperture you have image-format files that you see listed in the Finder and use in other programs.  BorderFX lets you overlay text and watermarks, and add borders, to Images in Aperture.  When you do this, a new file is created and automatically imported (it becomes a new Original).  You can also export via BorderFX, in which case a file based on your Image and the changes you've set in BorderFX is saved to the location (outside of Aperture) that you specify.
    - Adding text to an Image is a _graphics_ operation, and not a _digital camera file_ operation:  it is outside the remit of Aperture, which hews to being a photographer's non-destructive RAW digital camera file storage and development workspace.  You use Aperture to store, organize, and develop (make as good as possible for a particular use) digital camera files.  When you need a new graphics file, you (generally) export your Image from Aperture, and create new graphics files using a graphics program (e.g.: Photoshop, Pixelmator, GIMP, etc.).  Graphics programs are built from the ground up as compositors.  Aperture does almost no compositing.  BorderFX is a slick, purpose-driven compositing plug-in.

  • Adding Text to a photo...Need help

    I'm new to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. I'm following the instructions for adding text to a photo, but I can't see what I'm typing. I can see the cursur, but nothing else. I can see the text in the Layer, but not on the photo. Please help.

    Check the font size in the options bar. If it's really small you won't see it.
    Look in your layer's palette and insure your text is in a layer located above the photo in the stack.
    You might also check your image's resolution in the Image Size dialog. I've seen a couple of posts where someone changes the resolution to 1 with resample turned off...then can't see the text because it's too small even when they have large numbers inserted in the font size box.

  • Inserting text in a photo

    I used to know how to put text into a photo. I think it used preview. I got an answer that said to use preview, then the annotate choice under tools, but all the sub choices under annotate are grayed out. I have talked to apple support and they want me to reload Preview, but when I checked my kids (identical) machine, his behaves the same way. Not only do I want to do the captions inside the pictures, but now i want to know why those submenu choices are grayed out!

    Uh, actually, I need to clarify. I don't want to annotate, which I think I understand now to be putting a little note icon on the picture with verbiage outside. I used to be able to actually pick font and color and type in little notes ON THE PICTURE. I still think it is with Preview, and maybe the jpegs had to be changed to pdfs. I have discovered that when a picture is opened in preview as a pdf, the annotate button CAN be used - oval, rectangle, etc. so I am getting closer. But I don't want just a little notepad icon on the picture - I want to pick font and color and put a little title in it. Anyone?

  • Facebook - Need Option to Change Cover and Profile Photos

    Having to use my phone to change them is really a pain. How is there no option? I can upload a photo, but I can't make it my profile or cover photo. Please make this an option in the next update.

    Has anyone on the ADE team seen this problem?  At least two of my mobile apps (Aldiko and OverDrive) both support changing text justification for epub files; unfortunately I have not found a desktop application that supports Adobe DRM.  The previous response to this issue incorrectly assumes the justification setting cannot be changed.  Also, it seems rather curious that the ADE forum supports changing the justification but the actual application does not.  Actually being able to read my epub documents is critical, and having text stretched out and difficult to follow makes this almost impossible.

  • Adding and changing text in Photoshop elements

    Hello- I just downloaded photoshop elements for mac.  Can anyone tell me why when I use the type tool to add text to a photo, the text appears really small, even when I try to change the text size, which indicates it is maxed out at a size of 72?

    Possibly you are working on an image with a very high resolution.
    Simply type a value manually, over 100 straight into the box with 72.

  • Is it possible to delete the text on this photo?

    Hi,
    I shoot a new photo and I want to delete this text on the photo
    Background it seems that the situation is very difficult because it is not simple
    Cloning and content aware techniques are not successful
    Is there a different way to do this?

    1) Create a halftone pattern on a new Layer and convert it to a Smart Object (the Layer called "Curves 1")
    2) Transform the SO and if necessary use Puppet Warp to align it with the photographed pattern
    3) Use the Layer Style Bevel & Emboss to simulate the chromatic aberration (the blue and red fringes)
    4) Put the SO in a a Group and add a Layer of the "papercolor" underneath, add another Layer to paint in the larger changes in brightness and color
    6) Use Blur Gallery on the SO to simulate the focus/out-of focus areas
    5) Add a Pattern Layer with Blend Mode Linear Light and reduced Opacity to simulate the original image’s noise

    Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
    and look in the folder named Auto Import.  Move any files in that folder to a folder on the Desktop and close the package. Do not make any other changes.  Launch iPhoto (the message should be gone) and drag the folder on the Dersktop into the open iPhoto window to import them.

  • Can I change an Extra Large photo book to a smaller size once done?

    Can I change an Extra Large photo book to a smaller size once done?

    Sure - butyour text boxes may need work since being a different size may affect the view - to change duplicate the book just in case (select it and press command - D) and then go to themes and select the same theme in teh new size - closly verify the modified book and preview it -
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

  • Can't change text once I've finalized it!

    I've been using Photoshop for years, so I know all the basics.  And I've never run into this before.  I created a document with text boxes and images.  Everything was fine to that point.  But when I went back to re-word the text boxes and change text color, I could not do it.  I tried everything:  be sure that layer is selected, be sure I have the type tool enabled, and click somewhere in the existing text.
    Nothing doing.  No matter what I did, it insisted on starting a new text layer.  I could not access the text itself to change it.
    I could transform it or move it but it will not let me change the text itself or the text color.
    I'm using the PS cloud version and running Windows 7.
    I ran into this a few weeks ago, and rebooting my computer solved the problem -- or so I thought.  Apparently it didn't solve it permanently.
    Help, please!  This was due yesterday and my client is understandably not amused.
    Thanks.

    Now I can change text in any text box except the one titled "spinetext", which is highlighted in the layers panel.  Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but I've designed a lot of these covers, and never had trouble changing the spine text before.
    I finally had to recreate that layer in a new document and import it into this one -- but the text remains unchangeable in this layer.
    (For what it's worth, "Layer 1" is the template, which I turn off when I have inserted all the elements, so it has nothing to do with this layer.)
    Thanks for your help!

  • Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 book module?

    Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 Book Module?

    I'm assuming you clicked on the color patch besides the word <Character> to open the color picker window.
    At the right side of this window there is a vertical bar that has 2 horizontal black lines at the bottom.
    This is actually a slider. Pull it upwards with the color picker and color will appear in the window.

  • How to change text in PDF doc. which is a musical score

    Hello,
    I'm new here, so please excuse me if I do or say something I shouldn't.
    I need to change the words in a musical score because the font is too small. OCR recognition doesn"t work because there are illustrations that are different from images or text... Is there a way to get in there and make the changes I need to do?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply, but I have Adobe Reader 9 Pro. Will it still not 
    work ?
