Encoding settings to display text correctly

After creating or opening an image that contains text in a language different from the language of your operating system, you may find that text is not displayed correctly. You can change the encoding settings to correct the display of text in any language. Encoding determines the language and character set of text.

Encoding settings cannot correct the display of text outside the image window, such as object names in the Objects docker and notes saved with the file. You have to use code page settings in the Open or Import dialog boxes to set the proper characters for such text. For information about using code page settings, see “Opening images.”
