How do I change the font color in Photoshop?
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.
Check if you are using Gray on the RGB profiles. If not, unlock the layer and try again.
