Text Not Appearing

[Alan28055760lfdu]

After I updated photoshop whenever I try to work on a new image and place text it does not appear. I've tried changing the size and still nothing. It shows on the layers panel however so I am struggling as to what I need to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, could you post a screenshot of the entire interface, including the layers and character panel?

Did you try to right-click on the text tool icon in the option bar, in order to reset it?

Double-click the "T" icon in the Layers panel. It will switch you to the Type tool and select your text.

• Try changing the color to a color that is not in your image, such as white
• Try changing the size to 300 or 500 points
• Try changing the typeface

• Is it on your image? If not, use the Move tool to drag it to the canvas.

Do any of these make the type visible?
