Mike S. Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Unable to click into edit existing text on Affinity Photo document. https://www.loom.com/share/aa89db0b97a44ad9a0d116e62b54820c Text layer selected. Tried clicking in with artistic text tool and it just adds a layer, same with double click. CMD+Click literally does nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Is the text from a Master Page? Is the text locked?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 That text is a Pixel layer (no longer text or editable as text) If you originally create it as text then somehow you converted it to a pixel layer Mike S. 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Mike S. Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 How does one create a text layer that doesn't get converted? Every time I try to create a new text layer it converts to pixels the moment I switch to another layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Sounds strange, as far as you don't merge (flatten) layers or rasterize art or frame text that shouldn't happen. You can easily see from the layers panel if a layer is kept as pixels (pixel) or as editable text, the little layers icon weill tell you.
