Question on Photoshop CS3

[WV Gal]

I was wondering if anyone can help me on this problem....I have been trying to create a banner using Photoshop CS3. I get so far as to transforming an image onto the banner but when I try to insert some text, the text does not show up on the banner but it shows up on the palette. Actually, it does show up on the banner but it is so freaking small that you can not see it at all. You have to use the magnifying glass to enlarge it over and over just to see it. I have used the highest points, the bolder fonts, and so forth but it still does not show up like it should. If I would type some text on a normal picture it shows up but it won't show up on this banner. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix it? I have been messing around with this for the past two days and I've just about had it. Thanks!!

why don't you rasterize the text and transform it?

I don't even know what that means. LOL!! I am new at Photoshop so I am not familiar with most of the terms or tools.

 

Actually, I just got it fixed. I ended up reinstalling the program and then reinstalling the fonts and now it works.

hehe well, when you insert text in photoshop, it appears as a layer, right click on it, options like "duplicate layer" will appear, on that list you'll see "rasterize layer". then the text transforms into an "image" and you can edit it. Make it bigger, smaller, use the eraser on it, etc. i hope i made it simple ._.

Thanks! I'll try it when I create another banner.
