Hello. I am using Adobe Photoshop 6.0 I have a JPEG image that is a Title. There is a icon in front of the text title. I need to be able to just edit the title text without deleteing the actual icon. How would I go about making this edit change? Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks so much. Take care!
 
JPEG files do not include editable type.

Paint out the existing text and then type new text over it.

Why is everyone in this forum responding to me as picklefish?
 
Do you know what extension includes an Editable type?
 
You'd want something that had been saved with layers (before the text was rendered) - such as a .psd or even pdf or tiff

But jimoblak is correct - if you don't have the text layer, you'd need to start fresh and add a new text layer after deleting old info

if you don't need to change the text but simply wish to change color or size you can capture the text and alter it on another layer. (just remember the captured text is rastored graphics...not real text).

if you need to start over with a new text layer and can't identify the font try here
