How do I create a txt box in Photoshop on a picture?

I have to buy photoshop for my son's classes anyway.  But I am currently on the 30 day free trial trying to learn how to use it myself for a class reunion.  I have already wasted 4 days and made very little progress.  I removed some blemishes.  Took out some unsightly background items.  I can place text in a picture.  But how do I place a solid coloured text box in a picture?

Add a new empty layer on top of your image. User the rectangle marquee tool to draw out the size of the rectangle you want. Fill the selection with the color you want. Add a text layer over that layer.

  • Is there a way to create a contact box on photoshop and save as PDF?

    Can someone explain how or where to find a tutorial to create a contact box on photoshop then save as a pdf? Thank you!

    Contact box? Your question is not clear perhaps if there was one and only one standard contact box on planet Earth there would probably be more the one correct answer to you question.  Please describe what your desired in the PDF file. If you want something that can be filled in like a contact form you may need to use a different Adobe product like Acrobat. Or something to create an HTML Page with a contact form.

  • How do you create a layout template in photoshop elements 8

    How do you create a layout template into photoshop elements 8

    You have to do it manually.
    Use the marquee tools to define the components of the template, then apply a stroke via the Edit menu. It's best to place the stroke on a separate layer, and position with the move tool.
    You may fine it helpful to have the grid open for orientation.

  • How do I create a TXT record?

    I'm trying to figure out how to create a TXT record on OS X Server 4's DNS server.  Specifically for the Caching service's multiple public IP address requirements.  I'm, of course, using OS X Server's DNS implementation, but see no definitive method for creating TXT records.  I see there is a Text field for most record types, but usage is confusing at best.  Why would Apple choose not to implement TXT records, when this is a requirement of functionality for other supported services?  Not to mention, a good DNS implementation needs to have TXT record support.  Achieving this is trivial on Linux/Unix or Windows, but I can't even find reference to the BIND configuration file for Server 4, and it is no longer in the /var/named/ directory.
    Also, if anyone can point me to any documentation covering these services in detail, that would also be appreciated.
      -- Mike

    Thanks for the reply,
    I actually found the "named" directory just before reading this, and was able to edit the respective zone file, like a standard BIND configuration file.  I understand that Server.app will create a TXT record using the inheritance of the A record label, when using the Text field of the new A record dialog box.  However, this will not suffice if you need to create a TXT record starting with an underscore (_), as is required by Apple's own Caching service, when using different public IPs for clients.  Go ahead and try to make a TXT record entry for "_aaplcache._tcp", with the Server.app GUI and let me know how it goes...I'll answer that for you; "Not well, Mike."  This could likely function correctly if Apple implemented RFC 2181, in Server.app's GUI.  This expands the character set allowed for DNS names, stating that any binary string may be utilized for DNS labels.  Luckily, Apple implements BIND correctly, and serves the TXT entry when queried.  It also appears to leave the zone file intact when modifying other entries with the GUI.  The Server.app GUI does not parse the manually created TXT record however, and thus must be modified and maintained by hand.

    Hey there,
    I want to create a check box beside a text, like "keep me logged in". Anyone who can explain me how to do that?

    A checkbox is a form element. Fireworks doesn't do forms. You'll need to do that in Dreamweaver.

  • How do I create a check-box matrix question using Acrobat XI Pro?

    I would like to insert a question that is a 10 x 10 matrix that allows respondents to select multiple boxes in each row.  For example, the "add item > rating scale" feature formats a matrix the way I would like, although it only seems to allow for radio buttons.  With this feature, respondents can only select one item per row.  Is there any way to use this feature with check-boxes rather than radio buttons?  Or a different feature to create a matrix that allows for multiple selections per row? 
    Thanks so much,
    Andy 

    I created a 30 page Form in Microsoft Word with 20 to 30 check boxes on each page using the Zapf Dingbats Font.
    When I used Acrobat XI Pro to automatically convert the form it fails to create usable check boxes.
    It worked properly about 3 times on test pages but it will not do it again.
    Manually inserting check boxes one by one on 30 pages is mind numbing to say the least.
    Why doesn't the software work properly anymore?

  • How do I create an input box with a cancel button that will end a loop in my script?

    I have been working on a script for my client and I am having trouble getting it to work properly. I stole most of the code from the PowerShell Tip of the Week "Creating a Custom Input Box". I also took someone's code for the Show-MessageBox function.
    I have slightly modified the original code with two parameters and an additional text box. The first field is for an e-mail address and the second is for an employee number.
    I need to know how I can get a Do Until loop to recognize when the cancel button is pushed and break the loop and effectively end the script. The work happens at the end but perhaps I need something added/modified in the InputBox function.
    I want the script to check to see if anything has been entered in the second text box. If empty it displays a message and calls the InputBox function again. Then if there is something I use elseif to check to see if it matches my RegEx (digits only). If
    it doesn't match it will loop and call the InputBox function again.
    This all works fine. The problem I am having is that I cannot cancel out of the form. I'd like the loop to continue until the second box matches my RegEx or Cancel is clicked. Clicking cancel doesn't break the loop. I need to know how I can stop the loop
    when cancel is pressed. I've seen Stack "Overflow: PowerShell Cancel Button Stop Script" but I don't think this will work in a loop.
    Any help would be awesome. As a note, I DO NOT want to use the VB Interaction stuff.
