help please

[IamSam]

when i click in the little box next to the eye box, the chain link appears

I realize that, but if we are not aware of that link, it makes it hard for us to help. That's why we say that a screenshot is worth a thousand words.

one more question.....how do i change the numbers? i have to put each individual clients phone and account number on their flyer...
when i click the type tool and try to change the numbers it dowsn't work

I'm not sure, again I can't see what's going on.

Select the Type Tool

Highlight a text layer.

Double click the text layers thumbnail and enter your new text.

So all is well and you have your 3 up document with all the needed changes?

 

[ellmer8]

lmao!!! i thought so....PS is a pain in the arse!! gosh!! i creaed a new canvas to drag the copies onto and i am making margin lines to make certain i put them in the same place on each print. well....why when i go to move the image aroung or move the line the layer is locked!.... ugh

 

[ellmer8]

i hate this program with a serious passion!!!!!
everytime i figure one thing out there is another hurdle that takes me hours upon hours

why is the new canvas that i open to drag my images to locking after i perform the first action? after the first action it locks and won't let me do anything.
i tried cntrl+j to create another layer etc....nothing works. why will it not let me do anything on this canvas after i drag the photo over? it won't let me move it around to reposition it....it won't let me do anything

 

[ellmer8]

"could not complete your request because the layer is locked"

Grab the lock icon and drag it to the trash.

You seem to be having way too many problems with simple and easy tasks. I think your version of Ps may have some issues. If and when your ready, my offer still stands, PM me the file and I will send you back an easily editable version and your troubles can be over.

If the numbers and names are not layers then you will have to fill in the existing names and numbers. Then you will have to create new text layers for each field.
