Its Not Letting Me Use Matting On Photoshop

I ve looked through the brush and brush presets menu tabs but nothing there either.

Its not letting me use matting on photoshop. When i copy the text layers to my other photoshop file the same thing happens. If i left out anything please let me know. My creative cloud software says my free trial has expired but i have a paid subscription and money was taken out of my account so i know it is paid. I ve reset both the tool settings and workspace settings.

Pls i need any help view all replies. I ll try resizing it the way i would normally resize an image and that s by using photoshop s image size command. I am using high sierra version 10 13 and i m trying to download photoshop cc 2018 trial but it s not downloading the download always stops at 8 and i don t know why. I have several text layers in my photoshop file but when i double click one of them to edit it it gives me the layer options window instead of the type tool window in which you can edit your text.

But quit and relaunch and smoothing is back not only in the brush settings but also the default 10 smoothing in the options bar. I m trying to change the stroke settings so that brush strokes are smoothed out as im drawing but the option won t show up in the bar no matter what i do. Funny thing is that my other text layers are just fine. The monitor has been color corrected using xrite i1.

Keep in mind that prints using photoshop are coming out relatively close to my monitor display and look good. Let s hope they can fix this without breaking the ability to use smoothing on the options bar and that it also is the fix to the problem with the healing brushes.
