Photoshop CS3 Font Size

OK, I've searched the knowledgebase, scanned this forum, did a Google, etc...
When I try to enter type on a Photoshop CS3 doc, the text is humongous. If I set the font size down to 6pt it still is over 200 pixels high. Anything over 20pt is taller than my monitor.
I never installed the beta CS3, did have CS2 prior to upgrading.
It used to work fine.
Any ideas?
PS CS3 10.0.1
Vista
3 gb memory

I stumbled into the cause. Something is resetting my image resolution to 2822.222. If I create a new document, it defaults to Clipboard at 2822.222 instead of Web or Photo at 72.
How do I reset the default? I change it, open a new document, save it and the New document goes back to Clipboard.
In preferences I have 300 for Print, 72 for Screen set as default.

Photoshop CS3 font size of "label" and "description" of printed file

How do you change and manage the font size of the "label" and "description" ( "file" > "file info" > "description")that you can opt to have printed above and below your photo?
After typing in the "description" via "file info", you click on "print" and check off the "label" and "description" options.
I'm using a Dell PC and an Epson CX3810.
My instructor says that he's not been able to find out how to manage the font option.
Thanks

As a messy workaround you could put a simple string indicator ("classic Controls") on every tab over the page labels and change the text style/size etc. to your liking. Trouble is - the bound of the string indicator resizes while increasing the size of the text. As "size to text" doesn't work here maybe you can get the appropriate size from somewhere else. Document Bounds is not it, as I just found out. Possibly you should just use a free label, but I don't know whether their text is settable at runtime and their background can be altered.
However - I think, you get the idea. Maybe it's worth 30 min testing...

All of a sudden I can't change my Photoshop CS4 Font size any larger than 18px. What did I do?

Hi
I was working on a logo today in Photoshop. I clicked on the font size to increase the text size from 18px to 30px. I got a message that I couldn't go any larger than 18 px. Any idea how to fix this???
Thanks

Photoshop CC: Font size bug

I have been working on a project today and suddenly I cannot change the font size anymore.
If I select the text layer with the move tool and double click the layer in order to edit the text I cannot change the size of the font by pressing the up and down arrow keys. The only way to get this to work, is to select the text layer using the text tool, select all the text and then use the arrow keys.
It has worked earlier today, so something must have caused this bug to happen. Can it be some fonts that I have installed?
I have tried to restart my computer, I have reset all warning dialogs, I have reset the fonts in the font book to the default ones, I have reset the tools in Photoshop CC.
Nothing works!
Any ideas?

It's a bug that appears after scaling text. Adobe knows about it. The work-around for now is to not Edit>Transform any text.
Very annoying indeed.

Win7 photoshop cs4 font size

I've recently, reluctantly, transferred to Win7. Fonts, rulers, screen images etc. within Photoshop CS4 (and Dreamweaver) are drastically reduced. Rulers and site fonts are about the size of a mouse's toe nails - thus VERY hard to read. While searching for a fix I've noted this complaint on several sites and read there was no fix because Adobe refuses to comply with Win7 standards. Does anyone know if this is true? If not how do I adjust sizes? There is nothing in preferences that addresses the problem and Adobe "help" is not much of a........

It's so bad that for my web design work (in Dreamweaver - which displays the same problems as Photoshop) I use the XP because the Win7 drive doesn't display the layout properly.
I'm not crazy about the concept of paying every month for someone else's storage (cloud) when I have my own servers and my own tech guy to handle them. I have the peace of mind knowing my servers are secure at all times.
You might like the Creative Cloud concept. You download the software to your computers and your files are stored on your local PC or network. Cloud storage is free, and a good idea if you need to share projects with other CC users outside your business.
The difference is that instead of a serial number, you pay a monthly fee and simply sign in with your Adobe ID. $50 monthly for all CS/CC software. Mac or PC, latest features and updates piped in. Access to Typekit fonts and more.
As a business owner you rent many things, and I'm sure those other bills are more than the CC subscription.

Type copied from Photoshop to InDesign doesn't keep font, size, etc..

Is there a way to copy type set in Photoshop and paste it into InDesign and have it keep the font, size, leading info? Using CS3 here at work, and occasionally get Photoshop files with type for position, that we need to set in InDesign. I try to copy the type and paste it into InDesign, but it doesn't keep the same font, or size, etc... I've tried looking into the preferences, but don't see anything that would help my cause. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Steve

Bob, Thanks for the response, though not the answer I was hoping for! :-) You'd think that between the 2 Adobe applications, you'd be able to copy and paste type and have it hold all the info. Oh well.

CS3 to CS3 Extended font size change

We are running CS3 on intel Macs (10.5.4) If you open a file saved by this on a G5 (10.4.11) using CS3 Extended, the font size is now incorrect. eg Arial 12pt in CS3 opens as Arial 12.04pt in extended.
Both CS3 and CS3 extended are 10.0.1
Has anyone else seen this if so how is it prevented.

As far as I know Extended offers several more functions than CS3 and so is a different application. Or is it only addional plug ins ?
please see:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/compare/
because of the font issue:
Which filetype do you use, PSD ?
are you saving to a network drive ? if so, please save to an internal HD, then transfer files manully (over the file explorer) to its final place (so, no direct saving to network drives).
Could you check if its actually bigger really ? Maybe its just a display thing, I mean, maybe PS CS3 inernaly has it stored as 12.04 but just shows in the dialog "12". Maybe extended is more exact in that point. So Effictively maybe both are same size actually ?

Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. I will have to reduce the screen density when I work with those programs.

Photoshop CS3 - Image Processor; default Grayscale: Size Ratio prompt

I have just installed Photoshop CS3 and need to use the Image Processor to convert a batch of PCX (14,000 of them) images to JPG. When kicking this process off it does not run automatically as I get a prompt for each file asking me to input the Grayscale; Size Ratio.
Is there anyway I can disable this prompt so the Image Processor simply converts all the files in the directory specificed. If it's mandatory can I default it anywhere. Having to keep clicking Ok for 14000 files is going to be very time consuming.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Ok, so it looks like what I am after can be achieved, but I am still having problems.
In your last email one of the first instructions was "start recording an action" - how do I do this? Or is it an automatic feature?
When following the steps you provided and using the Automate > Batch option I get the errors,
"Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found"
and then....
"There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop"
Am I doing something blatantly wrong?

Font sizes render too small in DW CS3 design view?

I have recently upgraded to DW CS3 from DW8 (which is still
installed) on my Vista Ultimate system.
For some reason CS3 occasionally renders fonts smaller than
they 'should' appear. This can be replicated using the below code
(I realise this code is not 'best practice' by any measure but it
is the simplest way I could demonstrate the problem). In DW8 design
view it renders exactly as it outputs in IE5, 6, 7, and Firefox
(with default viewing settings) but in DW CS3 the font appears much
smaller! I realise this is probably a standards issue, with CS3
probably sticking to the standards more firmly than the browsers
and DW8 but I need the design view to render as the browser will or
it is no use to me
Please do not say that I should amend my code to be more
'Standards Compliant' as my main use of DW is coding a large
PHP/MySQL invoicing system which is used within a controlled LAN on
IE6 only. It was originally written by someone else and has been
added to and updated by myself. It is very large and certainly
doesn't need rewriting just to render correctly in DW CS3 design
view.
Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks, Malcom

.OTF Fonts Not Loading in Photoshop CS3

Post harddrive replacement I have been re-installing lost things, including Photoshop CS3 and font packages that I had on my system before. While the fonts have been successfully installed on my Mac, they are not showing up in Photoshop. The fonts have been upgraded since my prior use (old versions that worked with leopard would not install on snow leopard), so they are *different* then what worked before. But looking around online it seems like the .OTF format should work find with CS3. Ideas?
Thanks so much!

To what location did you install them? Are they showing up in other applications?

Fonts Not Available in Photoshop CS3 (Windows 7)?

Hello,
My desktop computer crashed yesterday and I had to run out last night and pick up a new unit as I'm trying to meet a number of deadlines (and not having much luck getting the work done in my laptop).
The new computer uses Windows 7 as the Operating System. It has already presented a ton of headaches... I've already spent in excess of ten hours trying to reinstall hardware and dealing with the various quirks that arise.
The latest of these issues is that I cannot seem to access some fonts from Photoshop CS3. I'm having the same issue, to a lesser extent, in Illustrator 10.
For instance, after downloading the Helvetica and Helvetica Neue families in Windows 7, they do not appear in the Type menu in Photoshop. There are a ton of useless pre-installed fonts there, but not the ones I installed. If I try to access them from Illustrator, it displays only one weight of each typeface (for instance, it displays Helvetica Neue 65 but omits 55, 75, 95, etc....).
The issue does not occur for all fonts. For instance, I installed AvantGarde and it displays just fine. In that instance, the fonts were TrueType whereas the Helvetica font files are Type 1 font files.
Can anyone help? I've already lost a day-and-a-half of work, and can't afford to spend much more time screwing around with this nonsense.

Bill,
Thanks for your thoughtul and thorough reply.
To clarify, I do have a copy of ATM, but just have not installed it on my XP computer or this new one. It is on my Illustrator 10 install disk. Not sure if it will work on Windows 7, as Illustrator 10 would not run on the new computer until I set the compatibility to work with Vista and earlier. I suppose that I could install it and see if it works. Might be worth a shot.
I will check out the software titles you referenced.
With regard to font installation on Windows 7, there are three techniques as far as I can tell. They are:
1) Drag and drop method: Works the same as it always has. Simply drag the typefaces into the Fonts folder or Control Panel > Fonts.
2) You can navigate to where a font file is located (the desktop, for instance) and then right-click on it and choose "Install." This is what I referred to previously, and I tried it after drag-and-drop did not work.
3) For the third method (according to Windows 7 documentation I found online at http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7desktop/thread/324ecdc6-8574-4527-8099- efc430bf550f), you are supposed to be able to go into the Control Panel > Fonts, press ALT (to display the menu) and then choose File > Install New Font. You would then be prompted to navigate to the typeface you want to install. However, this option is not available on my computer. When I tried it, I can access the File menu, but "Install New Font" is not listed on the dropdown.

Picture Size in Photoshop CS3 Extended

I have a bunch of digital pictures I am putting in a video script. My video is 16:9 so all my pictures have black at the sides. Does anyone know what size to make these pictures in Photoshop CS3 extended? Do I change the pixel size and if so to what?
Thanks
Lynn

I don't want to crop them, I want to resize the images. I don't know what size to make them so they will be full screen on 16:9 television. Right now they are the size for 4:3 so have a black border on each side of the picture. In other programs I can resize them by pixils at 1280 X 720 pixils but in Photoshop the pixil size seems to be in the thousands. So would I resize at say 24000 X 24000??

You can't. Any version before Creative Cloud does not support high-DPI displays and that is just that. If you cannot adjust the system's screen resolution and so on, then there is nothing you can do.
