Getting Text Back From All Caps In Photoshop Elements (Not CAPS LOCK!)

Posted on 08/02/2010 under Computing

After getting rather confused as to why my text layer in Photoshop Elements 6 would not budge from being in all caps (no not because of CAPS LOCK!) I discovered that to get it back to normal you need to do : Mac : 
Command ('Apple Key') + Shift + Y
Windows : 
Ctrl + Shift + Y
This will put the text back to sentence case or lower case (whatever it should be before it was being forced into all caps)

    Thank you, this fixed it! I notice your solution post is dated 2010. I can’t believe that Adobe haven’t fixed this issue – it’s now 2023. Thie solution of resetting the Type tool, or resetting all tools and restarting does NOT work.
