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.

  • Help! Can't use Text tool in Photoshop CS5

    When I launched Photoshop this morning and opened a file containing text and an image, I got the following error message:
    "The type layers in this document were rasterized because something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
    When I created a new, empty Photoshop document and selected the Text tool, I got this error message:
    "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    The Photoshop text tool is useless at the moment. I tried relaunching Photoshop and restarting my computer to no avail.
    Nothing has changed in my Photoshop installation except that I recently installed FontExplorer X Pro on this computer and activated the Photoshop CS5 plugin that comes with the program. I have now uninstalled the plugin, but the Photoshop text tool still doesn't work.
    Suggestions greatly appreciated. I need access to a fully-functional Photoshop ASAP. Thanks!

    Since you're having the same problem with a different font manager installed, it looks like the problem may lie with Photoshop rather than the font management software. I'm going to file a bug report with Adobe.
    Meanwhile, you might want to uninstall Photoshop CS5 (Utilities/Adobe Installers/Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium) and reinstall it from the original disc. You do not need to deactivate anything before doing this.

  • 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,

    I'm trying to enlarge tools of photoshop CS5 on a surface can anyone help?

    Looks like you are talking about HiDPi monitors. If so, then you can try to adjust your screen resolution and check if that helps.
    Please provide more details for further help.
    An error screenshot would help along with OS details.

  • 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].

    All my tools in Photoshop CS5, including the brush, eraser, healing brush, etc. are only making dots, instead of drawing smooth lines. When using the brush tool, for example, if I click down and drag my mouse to draw something, only the initial dot for where I clicked down gets colored in. Does anyone have any ideas as to why?

    Does anything jump out to you that could be causing this problem? Also, my lasso tool doesn't work properly as I can't drag anywhere. The move tool also doesn't work properly. I can click down and drag a layer, but after I release my click, the layer moves back to its previous position. The only way to move any layers is by free-transforming them.

  • Anybody have this TEXT TOOL ISSUE with CS5???

    i'm on a pc that meets all system requirements for cs5 photoshop and notice that whenever i use the text tool and try to increase/decrease the size, leading or anything, i can not see my results in real time, i have to manually CLICK outside of the text area or in the gray area of the document for photoshop to actually make the change, almost like when you use the transform tool and resize things but have to *commit* the changes, so imagine if you were doing that only you couldnt actually see what size you were resizing your object to.
    someone else in the office seems to be having this exact same issue as well. it's like closing your eyes to do your work and then opening them back up once you *think* you have the right font size or leading.
    any help would be much appreciated!!!!!

    If it's a "Mobility" card then chances are it's in a laptop, and many laptop manufacturers are required to be the source for driver updates.  You might have
    to check with the computer maker.
    If there's not a driver update for it, it's possible you could try downgrading the driver to an older version if one can be found.
    What operating system are you running (XP, Vista, 7, 32 or 64 bit)?
    I see they have a new release for your card for Vista and Windows 7 32 bit, for example, here:  http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-32.aspx

  • Eraser tool in Photoshop CS5 (block mode)

    Hello, experts:
    Several months ago, I noticed that, when using the Photoshop CS5 eraser tool in block mode,  it was not working right up to the edges of the tool (the block icon that apperars on screen). In other words, when erasing, I have to guess how near it is safe to move it towards something I need to protect, and this uncertainty can cause errors in my work. Has anyone else had this problem, and is there anything that can be done to cure it?
    With thanks in anticipation of  a helpful reply,
    True To Form

    The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
    Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

  • Apple kidnapped my Photoshop CS5 Help Menu

    Hi,
    I've taken a break from using my CS5 Photoshop program and was needing help editing text, so I clicked on "Help" like I did when I was taking a class in Photoshop last year. All the Help Menu brings up now are things related to my Apple computer. I know a call to Apple Care will result in something like, "We don't troubleshoot Adobe products," so I'm wondering if anybody knows where my Photoshop Help Menu topics disappeared to.
    Did I only have them for a year? Did the Help Menu expire? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    No an actual solution for the issue, but you could just download the pdf-version.

  • What happened to the type tool in Photoshop CS5?

    In previous versions of Photoshop, when the type tool hovered over text I could edit, it switched to just the up and down type cursor tool...and when it was over a region where I could click to create a new text layer, the cursor would show up with a little bounding box around it. Now in CS5, it is showing up as the simple up and down type tool whether I am hovered over text or not....so no way of knowing if a click is going to take me into an editable text layer, or if it is going to create a new type layer..until I actually click..
    Has anyone else run into this problem? Any idea the cause, or the solution, or is it just a bug, or something that they changed for some reason?
    Thanks!

    Hello!
    Did you try to reset the text tool? (hit T, then right-click the tool preset icon in the Option bar, and select reset tool)
    Usually, to make sure that I can create a new text layer, even if there is already some text, one can hold down the shift key to force the creation of a new text layer.

  • Is there a slice tool in Photoshop CS5?

    I suggest to print the large version of this image from the Help files, as it shows where every tool is, and the associated keyboard shortcuts:

  • No 3D Tools in Photoshop CS5 Extended!

    I upgraded from Photoshop CS5 standard to  CS5 Extended but can't see the 3D tools in the menu - just shows the standard menu... I re-downloaded and re-installed, but still no 3D. What am I doing wrong?

    How did you upgrade to Photoshop CS5 extended?  I didn't think Adobe was selling upgrades to Photoshop CS5 any longer.
    In any case, activation is where the differentiation is made, based on the content of the serial number - both use the exact same install.  Deactivate and reactivate with your new serial number and the features should show up.  You really didn't need to reinstall.
