I am in the middle of a photoshop tutorial about creating flaming text. (http://www.myphotoshoptuts.com/modules/tutorials/viewtutorial.php?tid=3)

On step 20 it tells me to pick the horizontal text tool and I did. So I click and drag to "highlight" the text but all I get is a textbox! Can anyone help me with this?? Mad

In Step 19 you see the 3 layers with the text layer on top?
just double click the box that has the "T" in it.
This will automatically hi light your text.

Thank you!! Birthday Big Grin.

Now I just have one more problem with this hehe. When I get to step 24 it says to "pass the brush over the flames." However, I cannot do this I can only liquify the letters. The rest of the image in the liquify screen appears as grey and white checkers.

Maybe click show backdrop on the bottom right hand side in Liquify?
