IMO I am afraid that there is no script solution for this problem. A script can read coordinates and colour values, for example. But a colour gradient can have so many settings - it's like trying to turn an omelette back into an egg. Sorry

Works well with black and white: - Change mode from greyscale to RGB - Open channels panel - Ctrl + Click on RGB channel - Shift + Ctrl + i (invert the selection) - Switch to the layer panel - new adjustment layer -> Solid Colour
result
the same, but on a multicoloured background

As @c.pfaffenbichler has already said: a (very) good scan is the basic prerequisite for optimum image processing.
Inquire in your neighbourhood whether someone has a better scanner available. If not, then with the current state of photographic technology, professional RAW images in a light tent under an anti-reflective glass plate could possibly provide a good basis
However, even the best image processing can't conjure up what your scanner has ‘swallowed’ in terms of information.

Hi @BrettN
Thank you for your reply.
That was/is exactly my assumption (I'm not the person who asked the question - I was merely recreating a possible scenario). Unfortunately, the questioner has still not made his file available. Because only then would it be possible to find and suggest a real solution - one that really fits the problem.
I am still relatively sure that the cause of this ‘misbehaviour’ in the questioner's file is an unfavourable setting in the effects. Perhaps he/she will get back to me in this thread. Perhaps his/her ‘problem’ has already been solved in the meantime.

That does not matter.
Here is (my) sample file (with the edited screenshot from OP). Activate/deactivate ‘Layer 2 copy’ and check the settings of Inner Glow against ‘Layer 2’ Inner Glow

Hi PEC, I wouldn't say that (yet).
I would love to see and inspect the file from the OP. Then we'll see whether ‘unsuitable, because conflicting’ settings are actually responsible.

It works for me (with the screenshot from OP edited)
and I can also reproduce the behaviour with incorrect inner glow settings
IMO there is actually no need to reset the preferences. Maybe we can have a look at the file ourselves soon. Maybe the OP will also show us which tutorial he is working to ...

Ok. I just saw that you also asked the question on the Photoshop Discord server (and have already received replies).
I am now convinced that I completely misunderstood your question.
You probably mean the vertical alignment of a text in the text frame. This cannot be adjusted in Photoshop (but you could move the text frames to the correct position).
The programme in which these settings are possible - that would be InDesign, for example. This is the programme that probably offers the best and most varied settings for text formatting and text alignment. However, I don't know if InDesign is an option for you.
Here is a screenshot of InDesing with three different vertical alignments (unfortunately only with German UI)
Here is the corresponding help article

Wenn man die Schrift in Pfade umwandelt, dann kann man natürlich eine Kontur aussen anlegen. Diese Möglichkeit "erkauft" man sich allerdings durch den gravierenden Nachteil, dass man danach keinen Livetext mehr zur Verfügung hat. Was mir ein bisschen schleierhaft ist:
bei mir war der Fix, das objekt in eine Vektor Datei umzuwandeln …"
By @tobiiifw_0479
Was meinst du damit? Bis auf ganz ganz wenige Ausnahmen sind Schriften von Haus aus Vektor-Objekte. Welches "objekt" wandelst du auf welchem Weg "in eine Vektor Datei" um?

It would be an advantage if the images were available as vectors. You can convert fonts into shapes and trace the first image. Then you can assign a fill and a stroke in the desired width to the shapes (as in Illustrator).
If you want to work pixel-based, you can make selections and fill these selections with the desired colour. Ideally, this should be done on a separate layer below the current one.
