When I try adding text to a new document, it becomes extremly small. It happens with all text sizes. I'm pretty sure I accidently changed one of the settings for the text, but I'm not sure which one.
Inside the circle, is the word 'CLAIRE' written in size 14 font, I don't know why it comes out so tiny..
I'm trying the trial version of Photoshop CS6, and I'm wondering whether or not it's possible to change the length of a shape with the amount of text entered into it, with the text still being editable? For example, if I had typed in 'hello', the size of the shape should be just big enough for the text to fit inside, without me having to change anything. On the other hand, if I typed in 'good morning', would I be able to make it so the size of the shape would change for the text to fit without having to use the transform tool?
I'm trying to make annotations for a video, and it would be annoying to have to transform to the correct measurements every single time.
Modifying the point size/text size assigned at particular annotation scale,
I’m wondering how the point size/text size assigned at particular annotation scale can be modified.
For example, in the attached screenshot, the point size assigned at the annotation scale of 1/1000 is big and I wanted to make it a bit smaller at that scale.
I create a text box and paste in the info into it. Now I want to resize the box to fit the space available but the handles end up changing the font size. I need the software to change the auto line feeds as the box's size is changed.
I am creating a layered marine chart with reference points. I've imported the chart and am creating text layers with a reference number in them.
I have about 700 of these to add - a daunting task - but it's for a NZ coastguard unit, so is worthwhile.
The idea is to have a layer with all our reference points on it, so when a chart is updated, we can just import the chart; add back the reference points layers and print it out.
(Why? NZ baynames, danger spots etc usually have 2 names; an english name and a maori name - sometimes we have to cross reference when on the water to find the correct place).
Is creating text layers the best way of doing this?
Is there any way of increasing the size of all the text - instead of having to edit 700 text layers?
After transforming text box layers I select two of them and the font size becomes incorrect. I can see the correct size only when selecting one layer at a time. I guess it's not a feature but a bug and it could be fixed.
I frequently receive design files from other agencies, with hundreds of text layers which often need editing. Clicking on the text layer reveals one size, selecting the type tool and clicking on the text reveals an entirely different text size. Why? They should be the same text size, not different. How can I possibly manage this? This was NEVER an issue with any past iteration of Photoshop. I can barely get my work done like this, it's adding extra hours onto my work day.
I have to run a script to solve the problem, but that did not work and I don't want any hack solution. I want the app that I am paying for to function as specified.
i pick a text size like 32 pt, it is very small. It's only until i get until the 600 pt thats when the text become relatively big, but still not big enough, anyone have an idea of whats going on. Lately my text sizes have been at 1000pt because you cant see anything at 32 pt...
Ok so what happens is I bring up a new clean page. I put the text cursor on it and type something in and usually 10pt is quite small and 50pt is big. I've done something, perhaps a keyboard shortcut or something, where the text is three times as big as it should be.
10pt looks like 20pt and 50pt looks like 80pt. It's as if I've zoomed in but I haven't. On a 600X800 page the 10pt is still about 20-30pt.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Also, whenever I open up a new page it defaults to greyscale instead of RGB like usual. Might this have to do with the text problem?
i use photo shop cs i want tp put text on a sig i was makeing when i send to put it on i could not see it then i set it for 6 pt and the letters where hugh like 1 letter is 338x363 and one know why this is
I've come up with this little problem with my text. When I want to make them really small (like 1pt or 2pt) it gets all blury and messed up...
But I can't get the same quality with really small size like you see in those examples... I've tried the sharp, smooth, strong, none, etc but no none gives a good quality....
I am working on a banner for my Youtube channel, and I want the text to fill the safe text area needed for the banner. Thing is, I don't know how to change the pixel dimensions of a text box.
Not sure if I have some option checked here I shouldn't. I am working on an image where I want an 8 pt font. When I use text tool > horizontal type tool > I make sure I have verdena size 8pt font checked. I have made an image with this font size before and it turned out fine. However, now when I use this font it is huge, looks like size 20 or something. It is at 100% so it should look a lot smaller. I also put the old image next to it and the font is a lot smaller then the new one. Any idea on what's going on?
Im using Photoshop CS5. This being the 12th version of Photoshop. I still cant find a reason why they have not put the adjustments for keyboard increments in text or leading like In design and Illustrator has. I mean, Photoshop engineers have concluded for themselves that all designers in the world increase or decrease typography in 2 pts?
I am a molecular biologist trying to use either photoshop or illustrator to label data (I have both programs, 1 may be better than the other for what I need, but I am not sure). The data I want to label are essentially pictures, of varying size, with a resolution of 50pixel/cm (around 127ppi).
The best analogy of the transformations of my data would be a picture of some random object taken next to a ruler. I need to label the ruler, then remove the actual ruler and just leave the labels. I have several of these pictures, and I label them like this individually.
How can the user interface text size be adjusted in photoshop elements 12? I have found plenty of people also asking how to make this adjustment but I have found no way to fix it.
Where do I set the keyboard shortcut for increasing/decreasing text size in Photoshop CS5? I know it is supposed to be Keyboard shortcuts, but I don't find it in there.
I am encountering an issue with my copy of Adobe CS6 Photoshop Extended which results in a random increase in the size of text when I try to adjust the size value.
whenever I drag-click the cursor to change the text size value, the input option randomly increases by an also random number of millimeters, suddenly blowing up the size of the text. It then allows me to drag-resize from that increased value. However, when I get to the value I want and release the drag-click it randomly increases the values again thus increasing the size much beyond what I had specified (again increasing the size!!).

I am running Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended (ver. 13.0.5 x64) on an Early 2011 Macbook Pro i7 2.0GHz with 16GBs of RAM. The issue happens on both the built-in trackpad and my Wacom Tablet.
This has been an issue for me for a while, not just in CS6. When copying text from Photoshop into Illustrator the font comes through but the size is always about 4 times what it was in Photoshop. Both documents are set to the same dpi. I don't understand where it's getting this arbitrary size info from. Any trick to get the size to come though correctly?
I am using PSE12 with Mac OS X Mavericks. If I use the type tool, type some text then want to change maybe the font or size, the text disappears! If I set the parameters before typing everything is OK, but it is really inconvenient.
Also when I do a return in text the first letter of the next line is always a capital whether or not I start a new sentence!
how to change the theme colours in Elements 6. I mean the colours of the workspaces, menus etc. Also, how to increase size or contrast of the text/icons.
Using photoshop CS6 on Mac, I am seeing a problem with one of my batch processing sript who's only task is to apply an embossed water mark to images which I have resized such that the longest side is always 500px. (short side varies depending on how I have cropped).
In most cases, the piece of text I am adding to the image appears fine. But then for no apparent reason, it will suddenly apply the text (which I have set to 24pt) and it is way to big. To address the issue, I have to reduce the font size (via the actions pallate) down as far as 8 pt. Then it starts to appear more or less correctly (for a while) until maybe a few weeks later when I open up photoshop to run the job again and suddenly 8 pt font is WAY too small and I have to bump it up to 24 pt again.
I have found this post from April where the bug was acknowledged in the beta:

I now have the official release of CS6, and I am still seeing this issue. And for clarification, here's what the issue is:
- I start off creating a text layer with a font size of 20px. - I then transform this layer to make it larger. - I copy the layer over so I have identical text layers. - When I select each individually, I am shown the new, larger font size, we'll just say 40px. But when I select both together, it shows the original font size of 20px in the character palette. When I increase the font size with both selected to say 30px, it actually makes the text more like 60px.
1. Create a document and type some text in a font size, for example I used a 30 points size.
2. Duplicate this layer.
3. Make the text layer it bigger but don't use the Text tool, use Transform. The font size will be shown in the Text panel accordingly. Deselect this layer.
4. If you select the layer or point the Text tool the size will be right (42,66 pt)
5. Select all the text in the layer you just made bigger, the panel will show that text is still 30 points!
I wanted to upload photos to clarify the problem, but the browser disn't allow me to do so, although pics are 450px wide and less than 2.0 MB each.
