Is There a Text Tool in Photoshop Elements?

I have probably overlooked this somewhere, but before purchasing I need to know if you can add text to a photo in Photoshop Elements for Mac.
Thanks,

Yes.
Here's the Mac Photoshop Elements 8 live help with info on the type tool.

Note: The Elements type tool doesn't support tracking and kerning. This link explains what tracking and kerning is along with some more info on the Elements type tool although I'm not sure which version this is...probably E7.

Using Text Tool Freezes Photoshop CC 2014.2 x64 release

I have just updated Photoshop CC to 2014.2.0 -- 20140926.r.236 x64 release. Now I am experiencing an issue when I use the text tool to just type a few words on a new document or layer. The application seems to freeze up as soon as I start typing? I wait several minutes with nothing happening and have to resort to using the Windows task manger to kill the photoshop processes. This did not happen before I updated to this release?? Please advise how to fix this if possible to [email protected].

Text tool in Photoshop CS5? Help!

Whenever I try to use the "Text" tool in Photoshop CS5 it freezes on my Mac laptop and I have to force quit losing all of my work if I haven't saved. Help please?!

There's some confusion on your part. Apple's Font Book is just a standard, integral part of the OS, and it gets installed with every installation of the OS.
There's a different application called FontBook (no space) by Lemke software that would not interfere with anything.

I'm trying to use the quick selection tool in Photoshop Elements 12 but it keeps getting stuck on minus. How do I fix this?

I'm trying to use the quick selection tool in Photoshop Elements 12 but it keeps getting stuck on minus. I've reinstalled twice and it will work for a little while and then get stuck again. When I select something, I have one shot at it and as soon as I let go of the mouse it switches to minus and I can't add anything else. How do I fix this?

When a tool misbehaves, go over to the far upper right corner of the tool options area and click the four-lined square. Choose Reset Tool from the popout menu.

Straighten tool in Photoshop Elements 12

When I use the straighten tool in Photoshop Elements 12 and click on the "Grow and Shrink" and then check the "autofill" my picture is straightened but it is not autofilling. Instead I see the black and white checkered background in the areas where it should have autofilled. I do not know what I am doing wrong?

I have Windows 8

Where do I find the copy stamp / tool in Photoshop elements 12?

Where do I find the copy stamp / tool in Photoshop elements 12?

Hi,
Make sure you are in Expert mode (click on Expert at the top).
The Clone stamp tool appears in the Enhance group - make sure the tool option is set correctly.
Hope that is the one you want.

Problem with Text tool in Photoshop CS5

I just purchased PCS5 this morning and they told me that I should download the trial version till I get the actual CDs... I have Photoshop CS4 and never had any serious problems. After downloading and installing CS5 it seems everything is working ok... however there are 2 problems...
1. It does not interact with Bridge 4 (when I make changes in Bridge, CS5 does not see it)
2. Any time I try to click on 'TEXT' tool icon, the application crushes... and I cant do anything... I have to restart the application.
Dont care much about 1st problem, but can't do without the 2nd one....
Any ideas?
Thanks a million in advance

Hi
Have you tried following solutions?
- update Photoshop to 12.0.4
- remove bad & duplicated fonts and clear system font caches
- update or uninstall 3rd party font management application
- remove all 3rd party plugins including font management application plugin
- launch Photoshop 32bit mode
- upgrade your Mac OS
If above solutions don't help, please contact me ([email protected]).
Thanks,
Kyoko

Where can I find the colour range selection tool in Photoshop Elements 11?

Note: It is not under the Selection tab in the menu. This tool is very useful and Adobe help is making it very hard to find.

The Select>Color Range is only in the full versions of photoshop such as photoshop cs6.
As far as i know that's never been available in photoshop elements (from the factory sorta speak) except in version 3 using an action created in photoshop.
There are many other ways to make selections in photoshop elements.
As a side note and not really pertaining to your version of elements, years ago back in the pre os x days, there was a plugin for photoshop/photoshop le/pse 1 on macs quite similar in function to select>color range.

Dodge Tool in Photoshop Elements 8

Hi There, I have just tryed to adjust some pictures in my new photoshop elements
and can not find the dodge tool ANYWHERE, I am getting very frustrated as this is
one of the tools I use the most to adjust pictures of my work. Any help would be
very appreciated. If it is not included in elements is there any way to download it
as an extra?
Thanks

You can bring up the dodge tool by pressing O on your keyboard. This would toggle between Dodge/Burn/Sponge tool each time you press O.
Here are the shortcuts which would come handy to you while accessing tools:

Can't see all tools in Photoshop Elements 11 on Mac

I just got Photoshop Elements 11 for my mac today however I cant seem to use all the tools. The tool bar cuts off after the cookie cutter option in modify and I cant scroll down to reach the rest of the opions. Is there anything I can do to see the rest of the tools. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

Is this a first generation macbook air? If not, check that your screen resolution is where it should be, i.e., the highest possible pixel count, in system preferences>displays.

"Justify" text in Adobe Photoshop Elements 11

I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, and I'm trying to add a text box to my picture where the text is aligned to the edge on both the left and right sides. So it's not left, right, or center aligned, it's what is called "Justify" in Microsoft Word. There does not seem to be an icon to pick this in Photoshop Elements 11. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,

R_Kelly,
I tried this. You're right, Shift+Ctrl+F works! I'm almost there. What I'm actually working on is the design for the back of a book cover. The thing I noticed is that the last line of a paragraph, which may only have three words, also gets "Justified" so there's huge spaces between the three words as they get stretched across the screen. I tried inserting a carriage return after that last sentence and it didn't seem to help. But I did all this after getting home late from work last night, so I need to play with it some more.
It's odd that there's no pull down menu or icon selection that lets one "Justify" text in pse 11, even when I'm in the "Expert" mode. Is it that in purchasing pse I bought a watered down version of photoshop. Because all of the online tutorials I watch on youtube for different versions of photoshop have many more buttons to choose from on the screen.
What's also odd, though, is that I designed a cover for a book last year, and I somehow got the text to be justified without this last line "spreading" issue. I also seem to have hyphens at the right edge when the word needs to be hyphenated (again in order to avoid unsightly spacing between words). I must be getting old, can't remember how I did that. I did notice that I can duplicate the layer into my new design and the formatting stayed, so I guess I could do that and just type all of the new content. It's just odd.
I'm definitely going to spend more time with the Sift+Ctrl+F, because the capability seems to be there, it's just hidden.
Thank you.

Are there any plugins that allow photoshop elements to read DDS files?

I have multiple DDS files that I have been trying to open in Photoshop Elements 8, and a window comes up and says that it cannot open it because it is the "wrong type of file". I would like to know if there are any plugins I can download to fix this problem. It would also be helpful if the plugin could save the file in a DDS format, too. I had been using a trial of Photoshop CS6 and I had a plugin for that, and I recently found an old disc that had Photoshop Elements 8 on it that I downloaded. Back to the point, are there any plugins that can do this?

The 32 bit version of this plugin should work in pse 8 if you on windows:
