Puttiing downloaded text into PSE

[eadegraff]

Hey,
Does anyone know how to put the downloaded fonts into PSE? I know how to add actions, but not the text.

Also- What is Camera Raw?

Eadegraff,

When you download a font it will come in a zipped file. For a PC right click on the zipped file and extract all. Click on the folder file that comes up and right click on the true type file. The pop up box will have an install button. Click on this button and it will load into your font file for you operating system.

Hi,

The fonts file that you have should be installable. Once you are done installing the fonts, they should appear in the PSE. That is when you are using the text tool, the font dropdown should show these new fonts.

For information on Camera RAW: Raw image files are sometimes called digital negatives, as they fulfill the same role as negatives in film photography: that is, the negative is not directly usable as an image, but has all of the information needed to create an image. Likewise, the process of converting a raw image file into a viewable format is sometimes called developing a raw image, by analogy with the film development in analog cameras.

RAW files are typically high in size and can be editted using PSE's Camera RAW plugin. You can make non-destructive changes to the image if it is in RAW format and gives beautiful results. RAW formats are different for differnt cameras like CR2 for Canon, NEF for Nikon etc.

Hope it helps.

If you are using a PC your fonts file will be under the control panel. Unzip your fonts you downloaded and then drop them into the fonts folder.
