Image turns red when trying to add text?

I'm using CS5 64 bit on a Win7 64-bit machine, with 8GB RAM.
I have been creating images, then adding text to them, with no problem. All of a sudden, something is going wrong.
I have created an image out of a white background with green text. I saved it as a .psd
Later, I opened it in CS5, and clicked the Text tool. I put the cursor on the image, and the whole image box turned red.
All the options under Layer (like New or Duplicate) are grayed out.
The Layers box shows just one layer, named Index. Right clicking on that shows all grayed out options.
I also tried to add text to a previously saved .jpg with the same result.
If I make a new image, I can add text correctly.
And I can also add text to other .jpgs I've made previously.
So apparently it is something to do with the way these particular files were saved or something?
I tried resetting the Text tool but that did no good.
What am I doing wrong? What makes these images different?
I tried to upload the .psd image in question, but I got an error message saying that "the content type of this image is not allowed".
Thanks!

If you want to post a large image or one of a format that isn't supported by direct attachment here, here's a suggestion:
Go to YouSendIt.com.
Create a free account.
Upload and send the image to yourself.
When you get the URL, post it here.

  • Why are my scanned images turning red when put in a slideshow or iMovie?

    Why are my photos turning red when put in a slideshow?

    Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
    If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
    As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
    Take care, Mike

  • HT204387 When trying to add text notifications on my iphone 5 Through my Ford sync all pages tell me to open settings, click on the sync when it is pair with the car and there should be a Turn on Notifications slide but there is not.  Please help.

    I heard that Ford Sync now allows the user to have text message notifications appear on the dash board.  I have looked up how to do so, the instructions say on our phone click on settings-Bluetooth-when paired with the sync click on sync and there should be a slide option that says turn notifications on.  I am using an Iphone 5 with the latest operating system and I do not have a Turn notifications on stting in my bluetooth.  Please help

    Resetting Network Settings means that the saved password that enabled your iPhone to connect to your WiFi router was erased. You are now reentering that password. Most likely you are entering the password incorrectly or are entering an old password or the wrong password.
    Check that the password that you are using is absolutely, positively, the correct and current password for your router. Make sure that you are not confused l with 1, O with 0, etc.

  • PSCS6 crashes when trying to add text

    I am trying to create a picture made up of text that represents the person inthe picture.
    I go throught he stages of getting the shadows and the midtones layers together then when I add a text layer once I put in the text the program crashes and becomes unresponsive.
    I tried to reduce the amount of text but then only half the text is justified correctly and the bottom half looks as if it is tryong to wrap around an invisible box.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Can the amount of text be set so that I can put a large amount of text to make a picture?

  • I am trying to add text to the I photo book inside the which indicate the boundaries but a red  triangle has appeared. for             indicate the boundaries for such text, however there is a small red triangle appearing to say that I have too much text.

    I am trying to add text to an I photo book project. I have entered the text inside the blue lines which indicate the boundaries but have got a red triangle showing I have exceeded the text. Any ideas please?

    Check the font size, if it's just a little too close to the top of the box, it will reject it.

  • I am getting an error when trying to add a caption.

    I get the following error when trying to add a caption to a photo.   "An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc.  The disc may be full or there may be a problem with the source media."    I am running Windows 7 Pro.   The files are located on my c:.   The drive has 274 GB Free so space isn't an issue.   I have tried deleting a file and readding it to the same catalog and still the same problem.   I have copied the file to the desktop and cataloged it from there and the error went away.  
    If i check on the folder attibutes it is set to read-only but the desktop folder is as well.   If i try to remove the read only it only resets itelf to read only again.   Once i get the error another file shows up with the image name plus -edTM P-1 and it has the caption on it.  

    I was able to get it to work.  The root folder which held the pictures had a lock on it through windows 7.   Even though the drive was shared, I still had to go into the folder properties and share it with everyone.   Once i got the lock off and rebooted I was able to add captions again.

    Looks like a problem with the odp.net software.

    Thanks.

    Hi J. B.
    I have a question related to this. After you told me about the //host:1521/database alias I tried it in a VB 2008 program and it worked and returned data. At least I know that it can be used in a VB program without issues. I just now need to be able to add a connection with the Server Explorer.
    Anyway here is the VB coding I used. I'm new to this and still learning:
    Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Client ' Visual Basic ODP.NET Oracle managed provider
    Public Class Form1
    ' String to connect to the database.
    Dim strConnectionString As String = _
    "Data Source=//emad-pc:1521/emadeva;User ID=scott;Password=tiger;" '
    ' Associate the connection string with a connection object.
    Dim objOracleConnection As New OracleConnection(strConnectionString)
    ' SQL query for returning data rows.
    Dim strSqlQuery As String = _
    "Select dname, deptno " & _
    "From dept " & _
    "Where deptno = 10" '
    ' Command object to make this query work.
    Dim objOracleCommand As New OracleCommand(strSqlQuery, objOracleConnection)
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    ' Identify what type of command is being used.
    objOracleCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
    Try
    objOracleConnection.Open()
    ' Set up a Data Reader and load it with data.
    Dim objOracleDataReader As OracleDataReader = _
    objOracleCommand.ExecuteReader()
    objOracleDataReader.Read()
    ' Convert the department number to a string.
    lblDepartmentNumberFromOracle.Text = _
    CStr(objOracleDataReader.Item("deptno"))
    Catch ex As Exception
    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error")
    End Try
    End Sub
    End Class
    I still want to thank you for the help you are providing.
    Truly,

  • Making a # turn red when it hits a limit

    I am trying to put a counter on a page as shown in the select statement.
    SELECT count(C1)
    FROM T1
    WHERE C2= 0
    I am not sure how to make the counter turn red when it hits a fixed number, C3 from table2 as in this sentence.
    If count(C1) < C3 from T2, display count(C1) as <FONT COLOR = "red"> count(C1)
    Any clues?
    Thanks.

    Hi new guy.
    In my case I like to use cases:
    SELECT CASE WHEN MAX (T1.C1) < MAX (T2.C3) THEN '<span style="color:red;">' || TO_CHAR (MAX (T1.C1)) || '</span>'
    ELSE TO_CHAR (MAX (T1.C1)) END CTR
    FROM (SELECT count(C1) C1 FROM T1 WHERE C2= 0) T1, (SELECT SUM(C3) C3 from T2) T2
    (PLEASE REFINE THE QUERY!!)
    or you can separate values from formats in two colums: "CLR" for the color, and "CTR" for the value=
    SELECT CASE WHEN MAX (T1.C1) < MAX (T2.C3) THEN 'red' ELSE 'black' END CLR, MAX (T1.C1) CTR
    FROM (SELECT count(C1) C1 FROM T1 WHERE C2= 0) T1, (SELECT SUM(C3) C3 from T2) T2
    Then if you can define a html expresion like
    <span style="color:#CLR#;">#CTR#</span>

  • Fatal error when trying to add derived table

    Hello,
    I'm new at desiging a universe. I get the following a fatal error when trying to add a derived table to my universe:
    1 processor x Family 15 Model 0 Stepping 0
    Windows 2000 Workstation  v5.1 build 2600 (S)
    Physical Total/Avail: 2.097.151 Kb / 2.004.940 Kb
    Temp directory C:\DOCUME1\xxxxxx\LOCALS1\Temp\ (1 Kb available)
    'Unknown' video card
       1280 x 768 in true color
    (doesn't make sense to me)
    I use an ODBC connection that connects to a MySQL database. When I test the connection it's fine.
    I am trying to add a derived table because it seems that my universe cannot produce LEFT OUTER JOINS.  I read somewhere that I should set my ansi92 parameter to YES instead of NO. But, everytime I re-open my universe, it sets itself automatically to NO again.
    My utlimate goal is :
    For example, list ALL the people, left join my table to their websites, but return ALL the people, even if they don't have a website.
    I dont' understand, my join should be simple enough.
    Anybody knows what could be causing all these restrictions ?
    Thanks for you help.

    Hi Sose,
    In BusinessObjects (Universe) Designer, the outer join option in a join is not available and is dimmed when using a Generic ODBC connection.
    Try Following Solutions:
    Solution : 1
    When using an ODBC connection the odbc.prm must be modified on the machine where BusinessObjects Designer is used.
    Use the following steps to modify odbc.prm:
    1. Locate odbc.prm in the following folder:
    \Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 11\win32_x86\dataAccess\Connection Server\odbc
    2. Open odbc.prm in a text editor and modify the parameter 'EXT_JOIN' so its value is 'YES' instead of 'NO'.The outer join option is now available in BusinessObjects Designer.
    If the outer join option is still not available after following the steps above. open odbc.prm in a text editor and modify the parameter OUTERJOINS_GENERATION. Change its value from 'NO' to either 'ANSI92' or 'ODBC'.
    Solution : 2
    This can occur when user is using a non-database specific middleware such as generic ODBC. Generic ODBC allows creating a successful connection and universe, however will not allow the Outer Join option.
    The syntax for outer joins is specific to each database and the Generic ODBC driver only lets you access standard common features of all ODBC data sources.
    Ensure that you are using the database specific middleware to create the connection.
    I Hope this Helpsu2026.
    Thanksu2026.

  • Why do my scanned photos turn red when I try to edit them in IPhoto?

    Why do my scanned photos turn red when I try to edit them in IPhoto?

    Assuming these are Black and white, iPhoto still needs an RGB colorspace assigned, it can't work with images that are in B&W colorspace.
    Scan in color and de-saturate in iPhoto, if required.

  • I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account

    I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account to facetime and iMessage. Is there something else I can do?

    Hi,
    I don't ever remember getting an email when Adding an account.
    Apple seems to verify it some other way (a self test to see if it is valid ? an actual email ?)
    I tried adding an older @mac.com account that is not a valid email (gained when MobileMe was the Apple service and the @Mac.com registration was used for iChat names).
    I then tried  to add a Yahoo one.
    This got past the first part and said an email has been sent.
    As you say this has never arrived.
    ( checked the web Site for Yahoo Mail as well as my Mail App.)
    In each case I also checked the Spam and Junk folders in both places.
    I then tried an iCloud ID.
    (FaceTime seems to treat the Original Apple ID and the iCloud issued email as separate IDs)
    I did not get and email (Although it said it was sent) I did get a Pop up for the FaceTime app asking if I wanted to add an email and a second for the actual email itself.  (It turned out it added an @me.com email also issued by iCloud before the @icloud.com was issued.
    This is much the way iMessages adds emails when you add the emails to  an iPhone, the Mac version gets pop ups.
    I recently had something similar in Messages that might be related.
    In Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) it seemed it could be any Apple ID that was used.
    In Messages 8 it seems this has to be an iCloud linked one.
    The @mac.com one I used above could not be added to iMessages either when I tried it about two months ago.
    It might be one I have removed the creating/Recovery email so that i could create another Apple ID.
    The name continues to work in Messages as an AIM valid screen name but I could not add it as the iMessages account and got sent to iCloud to "register" it but ran into problems that I have not sorted out yet.
    EDIT.
    Checked the Apple ID site and the @mac.com email I used has no linked Alternative/recovery email.

    You should always backup your iPad before ever doing anything major that coould result in a catastrophic loss is something goes wrong. You can then usually restore from the backup when your iPad has recovered.
    You should also be sure to have transfered any new purchases directly to your iPad to the iTunes app on your computer on a regular basis.
