Text Color

[Ruidoso Bill]

I was able to change text color but I must have clicked something and now I cannot change text color. I highlight the text, click on the color box on the toolbar which seems to be stuck on light grey, pick for example red click ok and it remains light grey. I may have clicked something that caused this. I am new as you can probably tell, please help.

Are you clicking on the colour picker from the top tool bar?

[Ruidoso Bill]

Yes, color picker in toolbar

When I first started with ps I used to try changing text colour from the left hand colour picker but I learnt that I needed to use the top colour picker in the text toolbar. I dunno what your problem is then :(

If the color picker won't change the gray, open the COLORS tab, that has preset color boxes. Pick a colored box and see if that eliminates the gray.

Is the text stuck on grey or the color picker box? In case it's the first, maybe you have a color overlay activated for the text layer

it is always grey and when I try to change the text to say a red it just changes the shade of grey

Are you having the same problem as this poster? Maybe you should start your own thread.

just check the image mode as well. It should be RGB. If its gray scale colors will not change other than shades of grey.
