I am very new to Photoshop Elements and I am having difficulty with adding text to a picture.
When I select the horizontal text tool and insert a point on the picture the cursor runs off the bottom of the screen. When I type, the text is not visible.
After searching this forum, and got a couple ideas, it turns out that if I zoom out to about 4% the text is being placed well below the actual picture. I have played with the text size from 72 down to 0.1 but the cursor remains the same. So, in order to get the test on the picture I have to enlarge the text box in order to grab it and move it onto the picture and then play with the sixe again to get it where i want.
This seems very convoluted for a seemingly task so does anyone have a better method or, even better, a solution to reduce the height of the cursor?
