Can't change Font Color

[shoguncdn]

In the video tutorials it shows a selection box to change your font color but when I try and add text there are no boxes allowing me to do this. I see other options for font, size etc but nothing for color.

Welcome to the forum!

First off, can you tell us which version of PSP you are using? If it is a recent one, it will contain various workspaces. And it seems to me that perhaps you are in the Essentials workspace, where there is nothing showing font color (or other attributes for the font). So I suggest you place your mouse cursor up in an empty part of the File area and right clidk. A menu should appear, and the bottom item says Workspace. Left click on that and choose complete. It will take a couple of seconds for the change to occur, but you should have the same image showing, but above it, when you choose the T for text, you should also have little boxes for attributes of the font, including color and size...

Just as an addition, those boxes were added in later versions of PSP. Text is a vector and all vectors use the colors in the Materials Palette. The Background color as the Fill (main color) and the Foreground Color as the Stroke color. So you can open the materials palette and set the colors that way as well regardless of which version of PSP you're using.
