Imvisible text

Hi I am new to Photoshop and I have a problem. The last time I gave up
on it. I am trying to produce a windows button with slightly different
edges and text so the button has an up down effect. I have 2 background
layers and 2 text layers (slightly displaced for efect). I can not get
the text to apear when the up background and either text layer is
selected. It works for the down layer and I don't know how I managed
that.
The 5th Layer (Background) is not used.
I can not see any difference between the properties of the 2 button
layers. Any help please.
Desmond.

Thanks for the help. The order they apear in the pallet is important. I
ignored the 5th default background, but I did neer 4 layers because
when you hit a windows button the text moves down and reight one
pixel. Thanks again.

The procedure you mention would put the bottom layer on the top after the
paste operation. Drag the images around in the layer palette to get them in
order. BTW- you probably used a psd, not a pdf.
Another possibility would be to have two completely separate files - copy
and paste your "over" layers to a new image, and save that for the web
without reference to the original image.
You may find it is less work to have just two image layers - background and
text - and add an effects layers over the text layer. Outer glow is a
commonly used one. Then you activate the effects layer for your "over"
image before saving for web. This is simpler because you just activate one
layer to get your over image, and your text only needs to be changed in one
place.

I can't post the image as it is a PDF at the moment. What I wanted to
do was select 2 layers at a time and save as a jpg or gif. I created a
PDF file Create New layer and copy and paste the up.gif into it.
Repeate for bottom layer. Select text from toolbox (which creates a 3rd
layer and add text. duplicate text layer and move the text down and
right for the 4th layer.

The most likely problem is the ordering of the layers. Make sure your test
layers are both on top of the background layers. Another possibility is
that you have the layer mode set to something other than normal for either
the text or background layers. Post the image on a web page if possible and
one of us can take a look.
