Please help.  My text tool stopped working.

When I select the text tool and then click inside the image somewhere, all I get is a tiny little square as apposed to the vertical flashing icon that I had always gotten before. Then when I try to type something, the letters are not showing up. Has this ever happened to anybody else. What's the deal and what should I do to correct it? Thanks.

<[email protected]> wrote<br />> Check the resolution of the image file you're working on.<br /><br />My first thought analogous to Beth's advice...  but I think it goes that if <br />you have extremely LOW resolution, then your point-size fonts display very <br />small.

  • Please help! "Photoshop has stopped working"

    Please help me - message: "Photoshop has stopped working" - know what to do ... I can not use the newly installed photoshop program.
    My problem is that as soon as (or about 5 seconds) after I opened Photoshop CC, I get an error message stating that "Photoshop has stopped working". I can not use my newly installed photoshop programs.
    I have just the "factory reset" my HP PC with Windows 7 operating system. I have updated everything to be updated in Windows and signed me for Adobe CC at Adobe.com. Now I have installed Photoshop CC, CC Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat Pro X1, ExtendScript Toolkit CC and Extention Manager CC.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop to see if the program works for it - but no, it does not. I have also tried holding down the three keys Shift - Ctrl - Alt, In connection with that I open the program (I googled the problem and someone tipped off that there could be a solution to the problem) but unfortunately also without success.
    The thing is that all the other Adobe CC program works fully on the computer (InDesign, Illustator and pdf tool Acrobat Pro X1). They work flawlessly.
    What to do?
    Best Regards

  • Spot Healing Brush Tool stops working in CS6 on Mac

    Hello:
    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.  While working in the Spot Healing Brush Tool in CS6 on my iMac (Mountain Lion) , the tool stops working. I use it a few times on a busy BG, and then it goes away. The brush turns to a cross, and the tool no longer works. Reseting the tool, or All Tools, does not fix the problem.
    Please let me know if there is a fix for this problem.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    BTW:
    This is also hapenning when I use the Patch tool.  It "Eventually" comes back, but I loose it again after a fix or two. Can't figure this one out. Need help.

  • TouchUp Text Tool not working?

    I have Max OS X 10.4, Acrobat 8.1.2 and cannot get the TouchUp Text Tool to work? Can select text and delete/copy/paste etc but cannot add/change/modify any text from the keyboard? All keyboard text keys not working or changing data?
    Was using Acrobat 7 and it worked great, however this version is just not cooperating.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
    Thanks,
    Ron

    I talked to a very helpful person at Adobe Acrobat Tech support yesterday (Tony) and I *think* I have the problem resolved. [BTW, I don't see any definite mentions to this here: during this problem I was able to delete (using either of the delete keys) text and I was able to hit 'return' to get to a new line - while using the touch-up text tool. Also, I was able to create a new blank document and type in next fine too.]
    After troubleshooting all the possible causes with Tech support (including manually trashing all the /user/library/preferences/acrobat (folder) and all the com.adobe.acrobat ..(8) preferences in the /user/library/preferences folder - and after reinstalling Acrobat 8 - the issue still wasn't fixed. I called back Tech Support and got the same person (Tony) and with him still on phone, I created a new user on my Mac -- recreated the text touch-up tool problem and Acrobat 8 worked just like it was supposed to do. -- so ... the problem was in my 'old' user account & probably a font problem.
    Tony the Tech transfered me over to a Font Tech at Adobe (who was a rude, nasty s-o-b who barely spent 2 minutes with the problem, but that's IMHO) who told me the only resolution, since in his opinion I had a corrupted User account, was to trash my current User account on my system and start fresh -- no alternative! Since that wasn't acceptable to me, and since the Font Tech could or would not give me a straight answer about transferring fonts from my User/Library/Fonts to the computer (root, not system) /Library/Fonts and working on Acrobat that way .... or fixing any font problems in my current /user/fonts -- ..... I hung up the phone and resolved to track this down myself (with the help that was already given to me by Tony the Acrobat Tech.
    The first thing I tried this morning was to see if the Acrobat 8 text touch-up 'bug' was still happening -- and it was.
    So I spent the rest of this morning validating fonts and deleting duplicates -- (you know how those nasty duplicate fonts just appear even though you think you have them all removed a month or so ago). I also moved all my Adobe otf fonts over to my /Library/Fonts and deleted those same fonts from my /User/Library/Fonts.
    I just fired up Acrobat 8 and tried the text touch-up tool --- and it works fine! No problem at all.
    Final answer (at least for me) is --> validate all your fonts. I used Font Book (Mac OS) to do this. Delete any major errors on fonts you can live without. Some of the warnings you get (on the critical errors and caution warning both are confusing: 'name' table warning, for example. I did find an Apple Developer document that explains (to a small degree) what these mean: http://developer.apple.com/textfonts/TTRefMan/index.html
    Definitely delete every duplicate font you find. I kept some non-duplicated fonts with minor warnings, but these fonts wouldn't be used in Acrobat anyway.
    I don't know if moving the Adobe otf fonts to my root /Library/Fonts helped or not since I didn't do a test of this prior to any validation on my user/font file. It was just one step in my bug fix.
    Let me know if this works for you all too.

  • Hand tool stops working in Flash CS5

    Does anyone know why my hand tool stops working after some time? Whenever I restart Flash, it works, but after like 30 minutes working, it just won't work. The hand tool symbol appears, with the shortcut key, the space bar, and the button on my pen as well, but it won't drag it at all.
    I have to restart it every time, and its getting annoying.
    I have a
    Intel Core i7-2600k @3.40GHz
    Windows 7 64-bit
    8 GB Ram
    1TB Space
    Everything works fine, is just that hand tool issue.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you.
    P.S. First time I've posted, maybe wrong forum section.

    Hi ,
    Yes for the brush tool , we just have the fill color. Snapshot attached -
    Let me know what do you want to achieve using the brush tool so that I can suggest you some other tool to be used for the requirement.
    Thanks and regards,

  • -Why did my CS2 Dodge Tool stop working as set?

    CS2 dodge tool stopped working as set, yet Burn, Sponge, Clone Tools all work; dodge tool leaves centered white specks if clicked multiple times; all my CS1 tools work; all my CS2 & CS1 tool settings are same (0 hardness, 20% exposure), rebooting does not fix; can anyone help?  Is it possible to create this problem by accidentally typing Shift, Alt or Ctrl "," or "." or similar whilst using CS2 Dodge Tool?  Thanks in advance!

    It's probably something to do with the tool's brush. If picking a brush preset (not just a brush tip) doesn't fix it then reset the Dodge Tool. Right-click on the tool's icon at very left of Options bar and pick Reset Tool.

  • HT201412 iPhone 4S text alerts stop working

    I've have iOS 6 for months. Out of the blue my text alerts stopped working. I've rebooted a few times to no avail. All settings look right. And everything else seems to be working proper.

    Diesel I tend to agree with you there! All other sounds do work and I have the "glass" tone choosen for texting. I was all working fine with the new ios6 which I've had for months. since all other sounds work, I'll be heading to the genius bar at my local apple store. Now if only I'd taken that apple care ....LOL oh well

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. It came installed on my HP Desktop. I am can not get the warp text tool to work. It has worked in the past. Once I click warp text, the little window does not pop up, and if I try to do anything else after I click warp text, it wont let me. Just sounds the ding, alert, can still slightly navigate the program but can not use any other tools after clicking warp text. I just have to open task manager and close the program. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I just need to uninstall and re install. Having trouble finding out how to uninstall and reinstall because the program came pre installed on my desktop.

    It actually sounds like the warp text window is opening off screen.
    Resetting the photoshop elements 10 preferences should fix it.
    *Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after you start the launch of the photoshop elements 10 editor
    *Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements setting file
    *Press Yes

  • Suddenly in the middle of editing a large project the cropping and other tools stopped working. Did i hit some key or something accidently?

    suddenly in the middle of editing a large project in Aperture the cropping and others tools stopped working. Did I accidently hit something to do that?

    Maybe you hit the "p" key?
    Then "Quick Preview" will be turned on and prevent editing. Hit "p" again or use the "View" ->"Quick Preview" menu entry.

  • Adobe XI - Hightlight text tool not working

    Just downloaded adobe XI and the hightlight text tool not working.  How can I get this to work.

    I guess you can always use the box tool in drawing markups to draw a box around the text then play with the colors until you get close to what you want.
    The only thing I don't like about that (besides it being a PITA) is that it covers the text with color as well where the highlight tool does not.

  • Hand tool stops working randomly (CS6)

    Hi,
    So I'm working on this composition with a lot of 3d layers. Sometimes when I switch views, the hand tool stops working completely, for no apparent reason. I hit space, the hand icon still shows, but nothing happens when I drag the cursor. Then after a while it starts working again, for no apparent reason either. It's driving me nuts.
    I've already tried resetting the preferences, to no avail.
    My specs :
    i5-3330 @ 3.00GHz
    6 gigs of RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 620
    1 To HDD
    Windows 8

    Could be a cache issue or your graphics card not flushing its buffers. Turn off the performance cache in the prefs and update your graphics driver....
