Can we edit Text ?

Feb 27, 2012 12:58 AM

I - for the life of me - can't find a way to edit text on it's layer once the check box has been clicked and the text layer is made...

 

We can transform, size, skew etc., using the tools under the move tool icon but I can't seem to find a way to actually EDIT text or change fonts once the layer has been created.. I am missing something ??

 

It's a pain to think that every time I want to change a word ( read make a spelling mistake ) or want to try a different font I have top delete that layer and start again ??

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Edit - Should also add that I am using the iPad version of PST....

    Hi. Thanks for reporting this. That's not possible with PSTouch yet.  Please add a request for the editable text to our Forum-Ideas section. Thanks

    The funny thing is that Russel Brown double tap on the text in order to edit the same.You'll find this at the end (6:50) of the video: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-evangelists-russell-brown/first-look-a t-adobe-photoshop-touch-with-russell-brown/

     

    Maybe the "double tap to bring the keyboard up"-function is for Android devices and not for iPad 2?

     

    Cheers

    svik12,

     

    Understood this already it's not just a Android thing - - - the text is editable up until you click "OK" and create the layer...

     

    After that point it is rasterized and no longer editable - meaning can't enter the layer and select the text, change font or change spelling...

     

    The double edge of that sword of that process is that even if you export the file to your Photoshop via a PSDX file transfer - that same text layer is ALSO no longer editable in PS either....

     

    Essentially once you have clicked OK and created the "text" layer - if you find you need to change spelling, add words, change fonting - - you have to delete the layer and start all over again...
