Hello...

I've overlayed just a headshot over another image of a girl bowling....I'd like to add some text to the image of the girls stats and year in high school, etc.

I activated the text tool, and start entering text into the image, but the text is too tiny to even see. I can't even increase the size in pixels, or pts, etc, large enough to see it no matter what I try.

Thanks for the help and hopefully understanding.

Tom

The other thing I'm noticing is when I increase the text size it keeps reverting back to 18px

Set the size in the Tool Options, not the on-screen dialogue.

1. Select the Text Tool
2. Click on the text to activate it
3. Change size in Tool Options

If you only want to alter some characters, select those characters and use the on-screen dialogue to change them.

That did the trick, thanks!
