If you receive the following message when trying to enter some text on a image
“Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized.”
then try Resetting the Tool. You can find that option next to the tool. If it didnt work, try to allocate more RAM as photoshop is highly resource consuming.
After all the tries, if the text tool still gives error, try to delete all the extra fonts you installed in the system and keep only the fonts required by the system. You can follow the below guide for that.
