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].
I'm using Windows 7 x64

  • Step backward hotkey not working while using brush tool? - Photoshop CC 2014

    Hi,
    I'm using Photoshop CC 2014 in Mavericks. I've tried using the step backward hotkey (command+option+z) and it seems to work fine. Then I use the brush tool and it stops working until I switch to another tool. I'm a digital artist, so I move very quickly while painting, and switching out of the brush tool to step backward on something slows me down terribly. I'll switch and the hotkey works as intended. I've tried changing it to a different set of keys (for example command+z) with the same results. Is this a bug or a feature?

    Usually it turns out for tablets that aren't mainstream that they just haven't updated their drivers to work with photoshop cc.
    For example, most people don't have problems with wacom tablets in photoshop cc.
    One other thing that could possibly be the cause besides the tablet driver is your graphics card driver.
    If in photoshop cc you go to Edit>Preferences>Performance and turn off Use Graphics Processor and then restart photoshop cc, does that make a difference?
    If it does then perhaps your graphics card driver needs to be updated from the maker of the card.

  • 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.

  • Photoshop CS4 "Program Error" when using Text tool

    Hello. I was having problems with Photoshop displaying a "Program Error" every so often, so I deleted the preference file and all seemed good. But after deleting the preference file for my Photoshop CS4 and re-launching Photoshop, the text tool causes Photoshop to display a Program Error when using the tool. It never did this before. Should I reinstall Photoshop? I am using a Powermac G5 running 10.5.8. I have already tried repairing the disk permissions.
    Thanks

    Thats kinda what I thought too, but the problem started happening randomly. It started when we were trying to use photomerge with large photos. The program just started giving the program errors. I still think it may be a font problem, but without going through my 2000+ fonts and disabling them one by one, how can I resolve this issue?
    Thanks

  • 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?!

    …I installed Font Book to my computer a year ago and I guess some of the fonts were not compatible with the program.
    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.

  • How and why do I use Xpn files in Photoshop cc 2014

    How and why do I use Xpn files in Photoshop cc 2014. in windows & SP2. I have been given about 20 .XPN files with a Photoshop course. I believe they are PS presets. I have no idea what to do with them.
    Thanks

    To be honest, i don't what those are either, as far as photoshop is concerned.
    Is the course specific to one subject or a general photoshop course?
    Here's a list of some of the most common kinds of photoshop files and the relevant extensions

  • Is there a magic wand tool in photoshop CC 2014?

    Is there a magic wand tool in photoshop CC 2014?  I am looking for a complete method of removing a white background transparent.

    Are you familiar with how Photoshop groups tools in the toolbar?
    If you hover your mouse over any tool with a tiny black arrow in the bottom RHS of the button - then left-click and hold - the buttons grouped (not visible) under that button will appear in a dropdown menu.

    I can't use text tool. Text is invisible. I tried all colors fonts and settings. Help me pls

    The usual answer is that you have a huge document with a 72dpi resolution, and Type is set to points.
    To test this go Preferences > Units & Rulers and set Type to mm (the default is points)
    Now open the Image size dialog, turn off Resample and set the resolution to 300dpi
    Now create some more text.  If you still can't see anything, come back and we'll try something else.
    Note: if your document size is _really_ huge, like 30,000 pixels, then that's the problem all by itself.

  • Preview glitch when searching for words on page and when using text tools to write comments/notes on .pdf slides, why?

    When using Preview to access my class notes as .pdf files, I have encountered extremely frustrating glitches when trying to search for specific words or phrases within the .pdf files and when trying to use 'text tools' to write notes on the .pdf slides.  Preview did not behave in this manor with Mountain Lion OS.  This seems to correlate with my recent upgrade to Mavericks OS.
    When using the search function you should be able to type in any number of letters or words and press enter to continually cycle through the highlighted findings that match what you have typed in.  Instead it now, typically, stops tracking what I type in after about 3-4 letters and the yellow highlight turns grey.  Once it does this if you try to press enter to cycle through what it has found it no longer cycles.  It never did this in Mountain Lion using the very same .pdf files I had previously used in the old OS, and it does this despite there being multiple matches for what I am searching.
    When clicking 'show edit tool bar' button and then 'text tools' button to be able to free text notes on the .pdf file I have to exit out of the 'text tools' mode to be able to advance to the next page.  This is extremely inconveneint and, again, Preview did not do this in Mountain Lion.
    These are my two major complaints about Preview that I have discovered so far in my short time using it with the new Mavericks OS.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    I have this issue too and was pleased to find this thread.  Did either of you find the source of the problem or how to fix it? 
    I've tried using Wondershare PDF Editor as well and wondered that had messed some settings up.  Have either of you used that? 
    If so, how would I revert to a clean version of Preview?
    Hope we can get this sorted. 

  • Photoshop Elements 11 on a Mac - Text tool freezes

    I am working in Photoshop Elements 11 on a Mac.  Everytime I use the text tool, the program freezes and I have to force quit.  I read this might have something to do with a font problem.  I have deleted fonts that came on the Mac and also downloaded other fonts.  I am not super technical so please keep that in mind when explaining stuff. Help!

  • Photoshop CS3 crashes when I try to use text tool

    I recently upgraded from Photoshop CS3 after upgrading to Leopard on my Mac. Everything has been fine until today when I tried to use the text tool and it crashed the program. I've since tried using the text tool repeatedly and it consistently crashes. It doesn't crash immediately after I select the text tool, but only a few seconds after. Has anyone else had this problem? I tried searching and couldn't find anything.

    FontAgent Pro can be directed to any folder on the computer to load the fonts that are contained there and will then manage them.
    That said, I removed just about all of the fonts a long time ago from Macintosh HD/Library / Application Support/ Adobe /Fonts / Reqrd/ Base
    except for the few basics which certain Adobe programs must have available (like Myriad).
    More recently, Adobe installs its fonts in a different folder: Macintosh HD/Library/Fonts.
    If you don't want that lot showing up in Photoshop's font menu, either remove them from that folder or put that folder under FAP's control.
    The other fonts that I never use, and which clutter Adobe's font menus, are a bunch of Asian fonts.
    They are installed in System/Library/Fonts (which is an area that we are advised never to touch) but I removed the Asian fonts from there and there have been no repercussions so far!
