Photshop 6 and 7 are compatible with AGS. Photoshop 6 will better match the text formatting of AGS.

However, the differences in text formatting between AGS and Photoshop 7 are subtle: a few pixels of vertical shift or differing line breaks. You are describing something else.

Are you using the replaceText command? That should give better results than trying to use the "set" command. ReplaceText uses the format of the first character being replaced:
" the command uses the style of the first character (of the entire text or of the specified textToReplace string) for the entire replacement text string."

Thanks for the response Bob. I'm going to try and track down Photoshop6 and give that a go. Just to fill this log up with more info, I thought I'd past this response which I wrote to someone else. Btw, I heard a rumor that Adobe may be releasing an update to AGS in the spring. Do you you know anything about that?

Hey ###,

Thanks for getting back to me. With AGS, our goal is to produce about 250k unique images based on a customers first name, which we will then merge into an email. We're able to produce the images using our data and technology, where just not able to maintain the accuracy of the intended creative. Below is a PSD which contains 2 layers, 1 text layer with effect and 1 solid color layer...

The output should look like this...

Instead, the text layer shifts off the canvas far to the left. On right alignment, I get the same results, just far to the right. Center alignment works fine. I didn't know if we should be keying in any additional commands to get this to line up right? Would Photoshop6 resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance ###. I'd love to hear anything you know about a new AGS release.

If you created the template with CS1 or CS2, that may be the problem. The shift happens to me with your template.

When I recreate the text in Photoshop 7, it works as expected (but I didn't add the effect).

Doing a Save As of your original from PS 7 didn't help.
