So I right clicked on a 3d text layer I had, and then I selected duplicate text. This made a second layer, but now I don't know how to edit the words in the duplicated layer.

In my case, I duplicated the word, "cold", and want to change the text to "edit"

I got Adobe Photoshop yesterday so I am a beginner. Please help me.

Thanks

Hi Savage:

I got Adobe Photoshop yesterday so I am a beginner.

Everything in Photoshop happens on layers.

Start by selecting the layer in the Layers panel with the word COLD
Select COLD in the 3D panel
Click on Edit Source button in the Properties panel and make your edit in the .psb file.
Click the checkmark on the Options bar to commit the edits
Save and close the .psb file to return to your document

So when I select the layer, then go to Window >> 3D, it is showing this, and no place to click cold.

Great! So I finished the third line in this:

Start by selecting the layer in the Layers panel with the word COLD
Select COLD in the 3D panel
Click on Edit Source button in the Properties panel and make your edit in the .psb file.
Click the checkmark on the Options bar to commit the edits
Save and close the .psb file to return to your document

But now I can't find the options bar. After I find the options bar, I should be able to edit the text if I am not mistaken. Please tell me if I did these first three steps right and if so then where the option bar is.

Hi

The options bar can be turned on from the Window menu, but that is for options for the tools. It will let you format your text if you have the Type tool, but it's not for changing the text.

I don't see the 3D panel in your screen shot. Go back and look at Dave's directions to select "COLD" in the 3D panel (Window menu), then click Edit Source in the Properties panel to edit your text.
