I have a jpeg that is 1800 x 1200 pixels. I'm trying to lay down a type layer as I've done a billion times before but for some reason, when I try to do so, instead of seeing blinking cursor that is approximately the size of the type I would be using, all I see is a tiny gray square. When I type, nothing happens.

Any ideas? I think I'm having a senior moment.:sad:

Additional info. I just viewed the image at 1200% and at that size I do see a very tiny little blinking cursor and when I type, I get tiny, tiny little letters that would be invisible at the 100% size.

I think your font size is just set to small for that file size.
Set it to 72 and see if the cursor shows up.
 
And the color isn't the same as the background and is a common text font right?
I mean not a symbol or wingdings font or anything like that.

What am I looking at with this image?
 
Type something even if it doesn't show, save it and upload it.
Click the "Go Advanced" button to UL files.

I'm in PS right now, I'll look at it.
 
OK, I don't know how this will help but here you go.

I typed "Hello" in white. It's so tiny that all you can see is a few pixels of white, just to the left of the white arrow and only is you look at it at 1600%.

No not post the picture, upload the PSD file so I can open it and see the layers.
 
The resolution of your document is set to 1 which effectively made your font size 1 pt.
LOL, I bet that's not what you wanted is it.

Go to Image|Image Size, uncheck resample image and change the rez to 72 or whatever you want, then adjust the font size.
