Embedding 3D text in Photoshop CS6?

I was wanting to create an image of text embedded in a metal block. Is there any way to use the 3D tools in Photoshop CS6 to create this kind of effect ? I've only been able to extrude text 'up' ( if you know what I mean ! ) rather than down into a negative space. Any help gratefully appreciated !

I wouldn't use the 3D tools to do this. I'd use the Bevel emboss layer style on the text layer, with Direction set to Down, and set the layer's fill to zero.

Cannot copy and paste text into Photoshop CS6

I am not able to copy and paste text from non-Adobe programs (like Keynote or Word) into Photoshop CS6. I get an error message reading "Could not complete the Paste Text command because the clipboard data is empty or invalid." I have tried shutting down Photoshop, shutting down other programs, re-starting my computer, adjusting my Preferences and asking Adobe for help by phone and chat. I am on a new iMac and have no third party plug-ins installed. Can anyone help?

Editing text problem (Photoshop cs6)

When editing text, arrow keys (left and right) are not working in photoshop cs6

hmmm... I really didn't understnand.....
I just checked it again in CS6:
1. Wrote down text in 3 lines...for instance
2. Select all (Crtl+A)
3. Keep Alt and use keyboard arrows "up" & "down", situation was the same - leading values jumping like 30pt - 44pt - 58 pt.....
Than I wanted to check it on CS5. In CS5 values changing through 2pt: 30 - 32 - 34 etc. Good!...
Than I run CS6 again and did the same.... and....DAMN IT!!....It starts to work I wanted!!!!... Fantastic!!!
Now...I'm in perplexity...a little..... What it was..... I didn't any changes ... not in general preferences...not in text preferences in character palette..... May be it's new any feature & I don't know about it yet....or...may be it bug.....or may be some preferences crosses between different verses of CS?
WIll use it more times and looking....
p.s. now I decide to reload OS and check again & post results later...
p.s.2 ...befor reloading....opened old psd....made in CS3 & tried to change leading in text blocks - it jumped through 10pt........ mmmm ...it looks like CS6 not correctly work with old files (that were made in cs3 for example).... It's not clear for me yet....what problem in

Copying text from Photoshop to InDesign

Dear InDesign Community,
I am working on updating a 60 page .pdf which was is extremelly blurry and unsearchable because each page was individually created in Photoshop (CS6) at size 8.5x11 and then put into a 6x7 sized document via Microsoft Publisher ( I weep as I write this sentene). I am currently rebuilding the file in InDesign and I was wondering if there was any way to copy and paste the formatted text from Photoshop cs6 to Indesign cs6 without losing the formatting. The end product is supposed to be a good quality pdf for web that is also a searchable document. Please advise.

No, sort of. If you can live with the text EXACTLY as it is in
Photoshop, kill all the layer except the text and save as PDF from
Photoshop. Place the PDF in InDesign and it will retain its vector
properties and formatting. You will not be able to edit anything.

From Lightroom 4.4 RGB1998 - open in photoshop CS6 - embedded colour profile changing to SRGB regardless of Lightroom export settings.

Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue regarding lightroom 4.4 - Photoshop 13.0.6x64
This has just started happening in the last few days, I have not changed my settings etc ?
My external editing preferences in the Lightroom preferences menu for the edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6 command are
as follows,
File format    - TIFF
Color Space - AdobeRGB (1998)
Bit Depth      - 16 bits
I run CS6 working space in ColorMatch RGB at the request of the Pro lab I use & have done for years with great results. Before the file opens in CS6 I
get the Embedded Profile Mismatch pop up & I alway select use the embedded profile ( AdobeRGB1998) instead of the working space.
The mismatch menu always used to read,
Embedded : AdobeRGB 1998
Working : ColorMatch RGB
For some unknown reason every file I now open through Lightroom into CS6 - The Embedded Profile Mismatch warning is telling me that all my files
have an embedded SRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile ?
I can't get any of my files into photoshop with my normal AdobeRGB1998 embedded profile anymore regardless of Lightroom's external editing settings?
Seems they are being converted regardless ? have tried removing CS6 preferences Doc from the folder but not making any differences. Even my old files
that I know are RGB1998 embedded are turning up in CS6 converted to SRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile ?
I'm running a Mac 10.9.4, Lightroom 4.4 & Photoshop CS6 - 13.0.6 x64
Any ideas on how this started & how I can sort it out ?
Thanks,
Will.

Is ACR being used to render the images instead of LR? Open an image in the Camera Raw plug-in in Photoshop and check the Options at the bottom of the ACR plug-in that include bit-depth and color profile.

Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
http://www.adobe.com
Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

Photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden. happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point

You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

Editing text in Photoshop CS3 file causes crash. File originally created in Photoshop CS6

Interestingly I have found that if I modify a document in CS6 from an earlier CS3-CS5 document and save it - it works fine. But if I create a new document in CS6 the issue persists.
Looks like I will be modifying old documents for the time being
Would be grateful for some advise eon this.

I ask the third time: How can I enlarge the menue symbols and the text of the menue in Photoshop CS6 vers.13 so that I can read them??? My laptop has Win 8.1 and a screen resolution of 3840x2160

I ask the third time:
How can I enlarge the menue symbols and the text of the menue in Photoshop CS6 vers.13 so that I can read them??? My laptop has Win 8.1 and a screen resolution of 3840x2160.
It is unbelievable that such an expensive software does not provide a proper lay out wit a high screen resolution!
It is also unbelivable that it is not possible to get a qualified employee of ADOBE on the phone in Germany.
hope of feed back: e-mail: [email protected]

Chris Cox answered your question here:
I have PS cs6 extended and a new laptop with screen resolution of 3840x2160. Now all control elements and menues are so small that I can not reed them. How can I make them readable without reducing the resolution of the schreen?

Getting files from a business that uses Photoshop CS6. I use CS3 and have text problems

Hi, I'm getting files from a business that uses Photoshop CS6. I use CS3 and when I edit the text, the text moves to a different location even off screen.
Anyone know how to fix this?
It makes it hard to copy the text and imposible to change the color or make corrections.
This just started when they went to Photoshop CS6.
Thanks,
Jeffery

Ask the folks supplying you with files whether they've updated to the latest version... There were problems with Photoshop CS6 13.0.0. saving text layers in jumbled-up fashion.

Font / text edit problem in photoshop CS6

Hi there,
I have a strange text edit problem in Photoshop CS6 running on Mavericks.
Every time I use the text-tool in PS, write a sentence, mark it and change something like color, font size etc., the marked text vanishes.
I have to "undo" the last step and the changed text appears again.
Every time!
I have a clean installed CS6 with no plugins and no other than system fonts installed.
Everything on a new Mac Pro with OS X 10.9.5
Any clues? Thanks.

Do you have the latest updates for photoshop cs6?
You can use Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to check if there are any available.
Also, if you go to Help>System Info from within photoshop cs6, you can see the Photoshop Version in the top line.
You should be on version 13.0.6
See if turning off Dictation solves the issue.
Go to System Preferences ---> Dictation and Speech -----> select OFF radio button .

3d Text not changing colour in Photoshop CS6 Extended-Any Thoughts?

Hi,
I'm trying 3d text for the 1st time in Photoshop Cs6 Extended and thought I'd post my query on here as I've always found people to be really friendly and helpful.
The problem is every time I create new text and and change the colour it's always showing up as black. Nothing I do seems to alter this. Someone suggested a memory problem but I really don't know
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated

Did a complete reinstall and that seemed to allow me to change colours.Interestingly when I did the offered upgrade it reverted back to the way it was.Although I can't seem to see the widget(with grid) that allows me to easily move the text around.Is that in CS6? There is an example at 57 seconds here:

Right to Left glitch in Photoshop CS6, and NO Text direction button.

On a windows 7 machine I am having issues with Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 x64 Extended writing in the wrong direction, its goinf RTL instead of LTR. And the Text direction button that is suppsed to be in the Paragraphs palette is missing. I deleted preferences twice and that didnt change anything. I switched back and forth between Midles Eastern and East Asian, and that did nothing as well. I look at my laptop MBP (MAC OS X 10.6), which has PS CS6 Extended 13.0.5 x64, and I dont have the problem with it being locked in RTL, however, my laptop doesnt have the text direction button either, and doing the previous methods did not give me that option. Is there something special I have to download in order to get it or something?
Here is what the button looks like:
Here is what I have:
Just so you know I hav read this thread, and tried all of the Methods and NONE of them worked for EITHER Operating System.
Also here is a Video for Windows 7 and a video for MAC OS X and the do opposite methods switching to either to East Asian or Middle East(both videos do the oppposite).

I am now thinking it might be a license thing, but I would like someone from Adobe to confirm this (and possible explain why this is). I am a student, and I use the student license, furthermore the Windows 7 PC I was using was a school computer which is using an educational liscense(all of the computers at school which use and Educational Volumne License are missing this Text Direction button). However another student has the full version and has the Text direction, and when he makes files and brings them school, sometimes his files gives an error when he opens it and it says this photohosp file was made with a different text engine, and then procedes to get stuck in RTL. He has Windows 8 PC and the full version of PS CS6, that is the only reason I think of that is different.

Bug: Photoshop CS6 crashes when changing font family of a locked text layer (Windows 7)

How to:
          1. Open an 8-bit, RGB image by selecting File>Open...
          2. Click anywhere on the canvas, with the Type Tool to make a new Text Layer
          3. Select the Move Tool
          4. Lock the text layer
          5. Click on the font family drop-down list to highlight the current font family
          6. Press an up or down arrow key
Result: Photoshop Crashes
Expected Result: Nothing should happen. Perhaps an error message about modifying a locked layer

Photoshop CS6 Cropping and Text Tool Issues

Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 (13.0 20120315.r.428 2012/03/15:21:00:00) x64
Operating System: Mac OS 10.7.4
RAM: 24GB
GPU: NVidia GTX285
Is anyone experiencing really messed up things when using the Crop or Type Tool in the new Photoshop CS6?
...for cropping:
If I crop to a (for instance) 5x7, it doesn't actually crop to a 5x7. Instead it crops to the ratio of a 5x7, but not an actual solidly measured 5x7.
...for text:
typing all of my font backwards (i.e. "sdrawkcab" instead of "backwards")
fixing all symbols I add to the front of the text line only (i.e. "© Copyright 2012" instead of "Copyright © 2012")
switching the place of numbers as well (i.e. "2012 5th 6" instead of "6 5th 2012")
What is going on here?

Flash is the only program that does this, on indesign the
problems were different and had to do with screen colors and that
was solved by changing color mode from "aereo" to vista basic.
I will try reinstalling flash, although i don't see why it
will solve he reinstall.
Thank you and if you hear any other person having this issue,
please share it.
Regards
