A collection of Photoshop tips. Exactly what it says on the tin.

Solution: Select Brush tool. On top rail, change Mode from "Dissolve" to "Normal".

Problem: No text appears while using the Text tool. Just... nothing. While the font is correct, nothing is visible.
Solution: Check the Image Size. Specifically, check the Resolution value. A reasonable value is 72 pixels/inch.
The Cause: Unsure. Possibly caused by changing the image's units between Inches and Pixels, or by resizing an image.
