Hi There Birthday Big Grin

Ive been following this tutorial here which is for Photoshop 7
http://www.spoono.com/photoshop/tutorials/tutorial.php?id=27

I am using Photoshop CS3

At stage 6 It says:
Quote:
Hold Ctrl (Command) and click the layer with your text to load it as a selection. Fill the layer selection with a dark blue (I used #000761).


I do this, hold Ctrl, select my text layer and try to "Fill the layer selection" but it doesnt let me preform any actions it says "Cannot use (Said Tool) because more than 1 layer is selected"

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks Big Grin Confused

Hi Wrathicus,
Ctrl-click the layer thumbnail (and not its name!) in the Layers palette.

Hope this helps.
