: Resize controls hidden for paragraph text box in Photoshop Resize controls are hidden for paragraph text box in Photoshop and I can't figure out how to get them to display. Usually I double

I found when it happens, but I'm not sure why.

When the panels are collapsed the text box doesn't show.



When they are expanded it does.

Your text layer is set to "point text" instead of "paragraph text".

To change it:

1) Right click on the text layer;
2) Click "Convert to paragraph text";

SOLVED! ;)

Solution: I had view mode set to "Painting". I changed it to "Design".

Have you got the Show Transform Controls checkbox selected?

View > Extras will control the visibility of an area text box. Make certain that item is checked in the menu.
