Type Tool/black document window issue.

When I use the type tool in PS CC, the document goes black and becomes unuseable, what's up? (WIN 8) I found some mention of flickering problems in WIN 7 but no changes in my graphics performance software settings helped...

I suspect a damaged install.

  • Minimised document window issue.

    InDesign CC: How can I stop minimised document windows from automatically reopening when I open or close another window?

    Hi
    Ok, are you minimising them to the dock (by clicking the amber "traffic light" at the top left of the window or using cmd-m? If so, that's the probaly macOS restoring them when you switch back to the app.
    Why not try turning on the application frame (window > application frame) and having your documents in tabs instead - it is a much cleaner way to work if you have to keep loads of documents open. They are still occupying space in memory after all, even when they are minimised.
    Having said that, the application frame isn't to everyone's taste but do give it a try!

  • Type tool in Photoshop makes artboard go to black or flicker

    I have the Creative Cloud suite and have updated programs. My only problem is Photoshop is unusable when I try to use the type tool. The image or blank pasteboard drops to black until I click-away somewhere like on layer. Click type tool on area, same issue. It has even flashed back and forth from visible background to black. It's impossible to operate like this.
    Additionally, some flickering happens when I drag the marquee tool across. What is the problem? Is this to do with the fact it's 64-bit? My display says 32 bit.

  • PhotoShop CS4 type tool crash

    Using Windows 7 64bit. 8 GB Ram.
    Weirdest problem I have ever had with Photoshop.
    If I click the type tool, the character window or try to open any PS file with text in it PhotoShop crashes.
    I opened C:/Windows/fonts and there are only 8 fonts in there. HOWEVER if I open up Fireworks or Flash I see tons of fonts and it works.
    SIDE NOTE might be important ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    I had Suitcase Fusion 2 (Font Manager) installed. Activated a bunch of fonts and suddenly was having clipboard copy paste issues between Illustrator and PhotoShop. I read somewhere on these forums that a corrupt font can mess up PhotoShop. After countless attempts at trying to correct the problem I uninstalled suitase fusion. That Did'nt fix the copy paste issue now I have this problem.
    If I only have 8 fonts in my Windows/Fonts folder and am not using any font management software to organize and activate my fonts (which live in a seperate folder) then where are my Adobe Products that are working (Flash, Fireworks etc)....pulling them from?
    Is there a way to reset all my fonts on my system?

    Assuming font files are under Windows protection, the Windows 7 System File Checker command SFC /SCANNOW might recover them.  Outside of that, an in-place upgrade from your original Windows disc should do it.
    You can have the System File Checker do a complete check and generate a report, but without any recovery activity, by issuing the command SFC /VERIFYONLY instead.
    Good luck.

  • When using pen tool or type tool blinking the working window with black background

    when i am working with the type tool and pen tool or marquee , that time the photoshop window blinking with the black background that is very irritating in the working time so can u please tell me, so what is the exact problem ? is it a photoshop problem or system?

    Sounds like the old Windows 8 video card driver bugs.  Update your video card drivers from the GPU maker's website.

    Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

  • Type tool issue: Type in saved document changes font when reopened and clicked on.

    I've recently started getting a  problem with document which I've  saved a type layer to with a particular font. Reopening the document for reuse, I find clicking on the type with the type tool changes it to a different font. I've done a check on this and it was a known issue with CS6 and there is an adobe update to install: Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop 13.0.1 update for Adobe Photoshop CS6 : Trouble is, the install doesn't take and is advising me to seek customer support. Any ideas anyone? Recreating the file and font everytime (which is a work around)  is a pain.

  • I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in safari

    Hi. I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in Safari. Also in old version of Safari, and in old System. In some windows, i can save the document, only now i can see this, open from pdf reader. Thank for some info.

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Type Tool Problems. Photoshop CC. on Windows 8

    Hi, When I try to use my type tool in photoshop the photograph I am trying to enter text on to goes completely black and I cannot see what I am typing.  I am sure the solution must be simple but I cannot find it.  I want to watermark my photos and it is turning into a bit of a problem.  All the videos I have watched show that entering type should be a simple task but I click on the type tool then click on my photo to commence typing and the photo goes completely black.  Any help will be very gratefully appreciated.

    That sounds like it may be caused by windows 8 and the display driver installed. Check the display makers web site to make sure you have their latest windows 8 device driver installed.
    As fro watermark using text check out the Crafting actions package's sample actions.,

  • Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1)

    Hi,
    My Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1). This is what I have tried so far and the problem still exists.
    Check preferences for "Text": "Select text-object by path only" should be off. Checked. It was off. Didn't fix it.
    Check the toggle for Show/Hide Edges in the View menu. Cmd(Ctrl)-H. Checked. Edges Showing. Didn't fix it.
    Trashed my Prefeerences. Didn't fix it.
    Any other suggestions out there?
    Thank you!!!

    I figured it out! I feel pretty silly, but I will share this in hopes of helping the next person :/ Here goes. Don;t laugh to hard!
    It was the leading! The space between the two lines of text was less than half of the point size of the actual text. So it looked like two lines but there was actually 3.
    Geeze, I'm embarrassed! Thank you for suggesting that I may not need to recreate the entire document, but start with the text, input manually again (even on a new layer, to match the original), which lead to a fix!
    Thank you!!!

  • I cannot use the type tool in Photoshop CC it goes black. Why?

    I cannot use the type tool in Photoshop CC it goes black. Why?

    What goes black?
    What OS version are you using?
    And have you updated your video card drivers from the GPU maker's website? (bugs in video drivers being the most common cause of display issues)

  • Type-tool issue

    Hello,
    I have just recently downloaded CS6 and I had some problems while working on it. Leaving aside the fact that Save for web is not working, now I have some issues with the type tool. Whenever I type something the punctuation is going in front of the text and the letters are typed from right to left. Because I don't know how to explain it so well, I tried to recorder the whole thing.

  • InDesign CS6 for Windows: Type tool crashes program and am getting missing plug-in msgs.

    Just installed InDesign CS6 for Windows. When I open the program, I receive three messages:
    (1) Paragraph Panel.APLN needs Justification Panel plugin;
    (2) Runin Styles Panell.APLN needs Find and Change Panel plug-in;
    (3) Objectstylesui.APLN needs Graphics Panel plug-in.
    To top it off, the type tool crashes the program.
    I couldn't locate any current forum postings that appeared to help. I have uninstalled and re-installed the software. I have done an update from Adobe.
    Advice? This is an educator's addition if that matters.
    Thanks,
    Julie

    Thank for your help Peter. My software is working just fine now.
    For others who might encounter these issues, here is how - with Peter Spier's help - I solved my problems. I uninstalled the previous CS6 version and re-booted. I disconnected from the Internet and then disabled my antivirus protection, antispyware and firewall. I had to do this in Norton as well as Windows (Windows Defender and Windows Firewall). Then I re-loaded the entire CS6 and re-booted. I opened InDesign. I no longer got the msgs about plug-ins missing. I then opened a new file and checked the Type tool. It worked fine. I opened an InDesign CS3 file, saved it as a new file in ID CS6. I was able to successfully edit text using the Type Tool.
    Thank you to Peter for your help!

  • The type tool issue

    What can be the reason that when each time I open Photoshop Elements and click on "Type Tool" (font) then app hangs for a longer while (about 30 seconds)?
    Is this case of builing previews of fonts?
    What can I do?

    You might have added a corrupt font or one that for whatever reason Elements chokes on. I'd try removing the fonts you added (leave the ones that came with Vista or other applications alone...just take out any freeware ones you have downloaded). See if Elements acts as it should. If it starts without the delay, add a couple of fonts back then check how Elements starts. Do this until you find the font causing the issue.
    If you really are into fonts, you might consider getting a font manager. There are both free and $ ones out there.
    My personal favorite is a freeware font manager called The Font Thing...Windows only.  It doesn't list that it's Vista compatible but I have been using it on Vista without any issues.
    http://members.ozemail.com.au/~scef/tft.html
    Note: I keep my downloaded fonts in a folder on an external drive and must hit "Refresh" button in the Font thing menu bar before the navigation tree shows up in the browser window.  Like other software made for XP, the "Help" is broken with Vista.
    There a tutorial on using the Font Thing here:
    http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/tutorials/fontthing.shtml
    Below is the same tutorial as above but it's printable and has the screen shots.
    http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/printing/fontthing.htm
    Shows what I mean about the "Refresh Button" to get navigation tree...also how to get it to work with Win7 64 bit.
