    When i press swatches, and choosning a color, and when i try to pick blue, the only color that comes is either black or white or gray, what do i need to change or do to get blue? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

  • @MrDeDon2 When you made your new document, you might have accidentally set the Color Mode to Grayscale instead of RGB. Create a new document and set the Color Mode to RGB =)

  • How do you get the box around your letters to start dragging them like that? at 3:02

  • @PermanentMarkerism That would be the transform tool (Ctrl+T). To drag the corners individually, you need to hold the Ctrl key and then drag a corner (on a Mac, it's the Cmd key).

  • When i do shift + backspace and choose 50% grey, the background does'nt get grey.. the text gets grey.... please help me!:( Btw great guide!:)

  • @korvensweden Make sure that the new layer you created goes UNDERNEATH the distorted copy of the word "crazy". And then make sure that new layer you created is the one you're filling with grey.
