Stuck with same problem. Please if any one could help that would be great! Mon Mar 23, pm Hey there, usually with PSD text layers, there are two layers: one image layer where the text looks exactly like it should just in case you don’t have the right font or there’s some special formatting that might not be supported and the text layer, with as much formatting as possible, is hidden by default.

This is done because we can’t always guarantee the text will have the correct appearance. You’ll find the text layer in the Layers sidebar just below the image layer — you can hide the image layer and show the text layer to edit the text.
