I want to add a caption on my photo.  I go to LAYERS>TYPE, but Horizontal and Vertical are grayed out.  What am I doing wrong?

    What version of photoshop elements are you using?

    You access the Type Tool from the Tool Box on the left.

    Add text to an image in Photoshop Elements

    Use Photoshop Elements tools

    Thanks Jeff,  Yes I'm using PSE 15.  I guess I was so blinded by the "LAYER">"TYPE" > "HORIZONTAL" that I couldn't see the obvious answer.  Thanks for straightening me out.

    The Layer>Type>Horizontal/Vertical is for change the orientation of existing Type layers.
