My text wont show up . Photoshop cs5

[Guest]

I'm making a gif on photoshop cs5, and when I try and put text on it, the text doesn't show up. What do I do for it to show up?

What do I do for it to show up?

1. Do some generic reasearch on what a GIF actualyl is
2. Read the Photoshop help
3. Switch your document from Indexed mode to RGB
4. Do your edits
5. Re-save it using Save for Web and Devices

Welcome to the forum.

Along with Mylenium's suggestions, look at a few possibilities:

• The resolution of your Image is too low to see the Text
• The color of the Text is the same as the background
• The font size of the Text is too small to see
• The font chosen is not being displayed in PS

I find the Character Palette very useful, when checking out why Text might not be showing up.

Good luck,

I should have first searched Google Images for "reset text tool in Photoshop" and then type my instructions - now deleted
