Using a layer I'm trying to label a photo using the *type tool*,but it won't work.If I do it with a brush tool it's ok.Any ideas please.Thanks.

Try creating a text box first:

Hi BC,thanks for that info,at the moment I have set the font size quite large but it's coming out very,very small.Until I get that right I won't know if everything else is ok
