this didn’t help because it didn’t show how to get a ‘text layer’ out of a jpg that i just opened. i’m sure this information is helpful for those more advanced than i am. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you sooooo much, I work with so many layers in every file and have got frustrated with clicking to highlight text and gaining a new text layer…. this will save me so much time! Thanks again.

Great tip! … It’s a shame illustrator doesn’t have that short cut.

I only just discovered your blog today, great work!

Cheers!

I’m very grateful for the tip, as I’m only a twice a year user and I find that PS randomly either makes a new layer or allows me to edit the text that I want – thank you for the control!

One related problem is editing text that has an effect – as this doesn’t have a T icon, instead has an image icon – is there a surefire way to edit this text – as I’ve been trying to for 10 minutes and it just keeps making a new layer every time!!!

Or you can hit “T” to select the text tool and click on the text.

I agree, totally useful. But it’s also one of those tricks that raise your designer/Photoshop guru level in front of the casual user. ;)

thanx, handy tip :)

i’m typing the text in Illustrator and then copy/paste in Photoshop as a smart object.
