I have Photoshop 7.0.1. What I’m trying to do, very simply, is put text over a picture. The text’s font is Playbill and I’m trying to change the color to something bright as the picture is in black and white. I’ve tried the little box at the top and I’ve tried to change the foreground color. The text just stays gray. How can I change this? Also, the layer is not locked.

Most likely as it is a black and white picture the colour mode is grayscale so even if you try and select a colour it still displays as gray.

Go to Image>Mode and select a colour mode such as RGB or CMYK, now you will be able to add colour to your text.

I’m making a pin up poster in photoshop at the moment with some vector art design.
But I’m in need of a good retro-ish style font that would fit well.
Do you have any ideas?

You can try

- Waukegan LDO

- Dodger font

- Bolt bold

- Impact(kinda boring I guess, western-ish looking)

I managed to install a font in control panel/fonts It appears in the "font-list" in word, but not in Photoshop. I have also tried adding it by drag and dropping it into the folder c:/windows/common files/adobe/fonts. Nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanking you in advance

All fonts for programs are looked for in the Windows FONTS folder unless they install a specialized folder for the program only.

3) Navigate to the location where you saved the downloaded or unzipped font (double-click to unzip a file).
4) In the List of Fonts box, click the font that you want to add, and then click OK.

Windows Vista -

1) Open Fonts: Click the Start button, click Control Panel, click
Appearance and Personalization, and then click Fonts.
2) Click File, and then click Install New Font.
3) If you don’t see the File menu, press ALT.

Tip: if you don’t want to fully install the font, you can double click on the .ttf file on your desktop – Windows font viewer will open up. Keep the viewer open and launch a program like Word or Photoshop. The font will be available for you to use during that session.
