How Do I Fix Typing in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 2:47 pm

As a general rule, you should never have to “fix” typing in Photoshop- it should just work. However, there are a few instances where you may need to take action to ensure that your text appears correctly.

If you’re having trouble getting your text to appear correctly, the first thing you should check is your font settings. In Photoshop, go to Edit > Preferences > Type. Under “Font Settings,” make sure that “Enable Adobe Fonts” is checked. This will ensure that all of the fonts you have installed on your computer are available to Photoshop.

If you’re still having trouble, the next thing to check is your anti-aliasing settings. Anti-aliasing is what makes your text appear smooth, rather than jagged. Under “Anti-aliasing,” try changing the setting from “None” to “Sharp. ”

PRO TIP: If you are having trouble typing in Photoshop, there are a few things you can do to fix the problem. First, make sure that the text layer is selected. If it is not, click on the layer in the Layers palette. Next, go to the Type menu and choose “Edit Type.” This will open the Character palette. Make sure that the “Anti-aliased” option is selected. If it is not, select it and then click on the “OK” button. Finally, go to the Edit menu and choose “Preferences.” In the Preferences dialog box, click on the “Type” tab. Make sure that the “Use Smart Quotes” option is not selected. If it is, deselect it and then click on the “OK” button.

If you’re still having trouble, the next thing to check is the version of Photoshop you’re using. Type support was significantly improved in Photoshop CC 2015.5, so if you’re using an older version of Photoshop, you may want to upgrade.

If you’re still having trouble after all of this, the best thing to do is reach out to Adobe customer support. They can help you troubleshoot the issue and get your text looking great.

In conclusion, if you’re having trouble with typing in Photoshop, the first thing you should check is your font settings. If that doesn’t work, try changing your anti-aliasing settings. If you’re still having trouble, upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop or reach out to Adobe customer support for help.
