I kerned all the letters in my title of my book and was then hoping to see how tracking would affect the kerning adjustments. But when I apply the tracking to the full word, I lose all the kerning adjustments. Anyway to keep the kerning (it took a really long time) while applying the tracking to the full word? Thanks.

When you first do your text is the Tracking set to 0 (zero) or when do you change it that you want to set it back to 0 (zero)?

You have Photoshop Elements 2019?

What operating system are you using?

The tracking adjustment should be cumulative to your kerning.

Can you post some screenshots to illustrate the issue?

Thanks Jeff. Yeah, Photoshop Elements 2019. Windows 10. Jeff1 screenshot shows the original default text. Jeff2 shows the kerning adjustment I made. Jeff3 shows the results. In other words whatever kerninig adjustments I've made are lost when I do the tracking of adjusting the tracking to "0". The tracking overides whatever kerning I've done. So does the tracking have to be done before the kerning? Or, hopefully, is there a way to preserve the kerning when adjusting the tracking?
