Please forgive me, i am brand new at this (Photoshop, and this Forum). I tried searching my issue, but I had a problem even phrasing what my problem is, so I was unsuccessful.
 
 
I searched online and didnt find anything, so i thought I would join a forum and ask. And I imagine I will have more questions in the future.
 
Setup:
 
PC computer running  PS CS4
 
 
Here is the issue:
 
I am creating a composition of a JPG picture and text and graphic(line) elements all in one. My background layer is my original JPG that I am starting with for the background image.
 
I added a layer for the first text, formatted the text and added a few effects to it. Then I added another layer of text, with more formatting and effects, etc etc (4 layers of text in all)
 
then I created a layer to draw a square with the line/shape draw tool.
 
 
My problem is that when I try to edit the text color on one of the text layers, I select a color from the pallette, but then on the design, the color is lighter(less saturated).  It does not match the color swatch I just selected.
 
 Also, I cannot get a true deep black, on any of the layers. My JPEG contains real black, but when I select black on the color pallette( on a different layer) it is noticeably lighter. 
 
I looked at all the setting for my layers, but there is something I am missing.  I checked the opacity, etc.
 
Can anyone help? 
 
Thank you!  |
