When I type in Photoshop the curser moves but no font is appearing?

I’ve just installed this font in Photoshop, was working ok but then when I next went on Photoshop the curser would move when I type but no font would appear.

Strange…

Sounds like you are either typing in the same colour as the background, or the layer you are typing on is underneath another layer?!

I would try changing the colour to see if the text shows up, if that doesn’t fix it – check in your layers window to make sure the text layer is on top of the layer you want it to be on.

Hope this helps.

Photo shop?

I’m a first time user of Photo shop….I need to resize a photo to import into a Website. The pic needs to be 100 pxl x 300 pxl. Can you walk me through the process. I viewed the tutorial, but it wasn’t much help.

OKAY, first of all reduce the resolution to 72 pixels, this is standard resolution for all monitors. To do that go to image, image size, find the resolution setting and type in 72 and hit ok.
Next you want to change the height and width. Can you crop it a little because you may have to in order to get that exact size.
Anyway, goto image, image size, make sure at the bottom of the image size window the Constrain proportions box is checked)
Then change whichever side is longest first, for example if it is higher than it is wide change the height.
Now that the height is right you need to somehow make it fit with the assigned width and for that you first need to make sure your rulers are on and set to pixels not inches.
Goto view, rulers, make sure rulers is checked.
Then goto edit, scroll to bottom and click preferences, then units and rulers.
In units select pixels, hit ok.
Now tell me what you see and I’ll check back soon.
If you need to crop and you can’t wait, the crop tool is the third one down on the left hand side of the tools pallette.
If you need to stretch then, goto navigator and zoom in till the part you need to fix fills the screen (Rulers must stay visible), then go to edit free transform and and nudge it till it hits 300px.
Keep me posted
