EDITED:

Hey everybody --
I'm pretty new at using tutorials as well as Photoshop. I have the latest version (though I couldnt tell you what it was, someone else loaded it for me). I have Photoshop CS2, hopefully that will help some! I havent been able to get memories to work, so forgive me for asking. Whenever I try to add text to an icon, it never shows up. I try changing the way the text layer sits on the base, colors, size, fonts, etc. I cant seem to get anything to work. I've had the text work before without any sort of problem, and now it just wont show up. Merging, resizing, etc wont work for me either. I dont know if maybe I might have changed an option or something that would interfere with adding text. Pleeease if you could let me know some suggestions to get this to work! Like I said, I've had it work before and now I cant get it to work. Thank you for your help, I hope I gave you enough information!
