Its Not Letting Me Use Matting On Photoshop

Let s say i want to print an 8 x10 version of this photo.

Its not letting me use matting on photoshop.

To get to the image size command i ll go up to the edit menu in the menu bar along the top of the screen and choose image size. When i copy the text layers to my other photoshop file the same thing happens. I ve reset both the tool settings and workspace settings. 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.

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. 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. If i left out anything please let me know.

Funny thing is that my other text layers are just fine. The monitor has been color corrected using xrite i1. Prints from lightroom are coming out with a green caste although the image on the monitor looks good and looks the same as in photoshop. Keep in mind that prints using photoshop are coming out relatively close to my monitor display and look good.

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