Question
I SCANNED MY SONS SCHOOL ID SO I COULD CHANGE THE MISSPELLED TEXT AND IT WONT LET ME CHANGE IT. IT TAKES THE BACKGROUND OUT AND COMPLETLY. HOW CAN I JUST REMOVE THE TEXT AND REPLACE IT WITH NEW TEXT.

Answer
YOU CAN'T

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY IT TAKES THE BACKGROUND OUT AND COMPLETLY?

WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO IS SCAN THE PHOTO INTO PHOTOSHOP AND USE THE TOOL CALLED THE STAMP TOOL (IT LOOKS LIKE A STAMP, IN THE TOOL BOX)

WHAT YOU DO IS ALT + CLICK AN AREA THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE PLACE WHERE THE TEXT IS. WHAT THIS WILL DO IS ELTABLISH WHERE THE STAMP TOOL IS GETTING INFORMATION.  THEN START COLORING OVER THE TEXT.  THE STAMP TOOL WILL BE COPYING THE INFO IT SEES ON THE PHOTO AND MAKE THE LETTER DISAPPEAR - ITS MUCH EASIER TO DO THAN TO SAY, TRUST ME.

THEN TYPE IN YOUR INFORMATION AGAIN.
