type tool doesn't work

[Gianluca91xs]

I can no longer use the type tool. I click on the icon then moving on the image drag the frame as I have always done but does not appear to me the vertical bar of the characters. If I try to insert the text it locks for a few seconds. In the layer menu I see that the name of the layer changes according to what I wrote, but the text does not appear on the work window. I have a MB PRO 2018 updated to the latest version and I tried to reinstall PS but it does not change anything ..

Hi

Try resetting the type tool

If resetting the type tool doesn't work, reset your Photoshop preferences.

I've reset the ps preference and it works again. Thanks

My type tool will not work. I have tried the suggestions above and there was no change. I tried unchecking the Use Graphics Processor in Prefereneces and that did not work. I tried changing the Advanced Settings for the Graphics Processer to Basic, but that did not work. I cannot edit existing text on a file made 2 months ago. HELP!

Hi

It would help if you told us what version of Photoshop and operating system you are using

I am on version 21.2.0 and am running Windows 10 Pro.

I downloaded Photoshop a couple of months ago and the Burn/Dodge/Sponge tools have never worked. I tried resetting the Burn tool as suggested but it has made no difference. What is the problem?
