Photoshop CS6 font look way to small in 72dpi for digital use.

I have been noticing font issues for quite awhile and kept ignoring so it is not the particular font it is happening with both web fonts and normal fonts only in photoshop.right now i have a developer who requires pixel perfect and font sizes.
I have a section with font size 12px they look like they're 5px the document settings are 72dpi , width 1200px height 200px.i have to set the font size to 30px to get the desired result for 12px.
when i test it in illustrator the 12px looks perfectly fine with same font with same document settings.i have reinstalled photoshop cs6 couple of times which didnt seem to fix it.i would like to fix this issue with photoshop to continue the work how do i go about it?

Check the document resolution, and make sure you are not confusing pixels with points (they're not the same thing).

Photoshop CS6 Display is WAY to small.

I have a new laptop with windows 8 and it has a recommended screen resolution of 3200 x 1800 which I would like to keep. When I got into my Photoshop CS6 however everything is so small I can hardly see it. What setting do I need to change in Photoshop to adjust the display setting so it is the same size as the other elements on my computer? I do not want to change the display settings of my computer. I have tried that and it makes everything else on my computer too big. Thanks so much for your help.

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself.

To install Photoshop CS6, I have already downloaded the 2 files for Windows. How can I activate the product?

I am having the same problem. I did download the two files and started the .exe file. The .exe file appears to run downloading files. When the bar is full the window dissapears without any options. Both files are in the same folder. any thoughts?

Can I start downloading Photoshop CS6? Or do I have to wait for eligibility verification?

Photoshop CS6 Font problems

I am experiencing an intermittent problem in Photoshop CS6. I have over 500 fonts loaded on my IMac. I'll be working on a project file and when I go to add text, the drop down menu will only show about a third of my fonts instead of showing the complete list. The only way to correct this problem is to shut down Photoshop and reboot my computer. Most of the time this will give me a menu showing all of the fonts. I have had this Mac for over two yeas and have not had such a problem while using CS5. Is this a bug in Photoshop or do I have other issues ? I have downloaded the latest Photoshop updates.
Equipment: IMac 27 with 3.06 dual core processor and 12 gig of ram. I am running Os 10.6.8.
As this is happening more frequently and has become very frustrating, any help would be appreciated.

Since you already said that you have downloaded the latest Photoshop upgrades (http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates ), Then I will forward you to the next possible solution.
This would be to turn font preview off in Photoshop's preferences:
In Photoshop CS6:
Choose Type > Font Preview Size.
Select None.
Another solution is to turn off the following fonts:
The following fonts are known to cause problems when used in Photoshop:
Bustle (Mac OS only)
21kannmbn_ttf
GURAKH_S.TTF
JH_TITLES.TTF
SCREEN__.TTF
SEVESBRG.TTF
SF Tattle Tales Condensed.ttF
ZEROGEBI.TTF
Zippy.ttf
Haettenschweiler (Photoshop CS4 when run as a 64-bit application on Windows only)
Finally, another option is to Validate all the fonts through the Font Book Mac Os Application:
If you have a third-party font management program, such as Suitcase Fusion 2, there is sometimes a tool in your application that validates fonts. (For example, Font Doctor ships as a part of Suitcase Fusion 2.) Use this type of application as your first choice.
If you use a tool to validate your fonts, but the problem recurs, it's possible that the tool did not successfully validate your fonts. In this case, follow the steps in Solution 4 below to check for damaged fonts and to reset your font caches.
To validate your fonts through Font Book:
Choose Applications > Font Book.
Choose All Fonts in the Collection column.
Select the top most font in the Font column.
Use the Down Arrow on the keyboard to select the first font, then hold the key down to scroll through all your fonts.
If Font Book crashes, restart Font Book, and scroll through the fonts one by one to determine which font caused the crash.
If you are using Mac OS X (10.5.x), Ctrl-click on any fonts that are problematic, and choose to Disable that font family.
If you are using Mac OS X (10.6.x), Ctrl-click on any fonts that are problematic, and choose to Remove that font family.
I grabbed all these from Adobe Help, which offer a few other options you might want to explore if these don't help you.

Thunderbird **Main Screen** Font is WAY TOO small - and there are no provisions to change that text size!

I see lots and lots of complaints but NO suitable answer! Most answers don't even answer the question but instead tell how to increase MESSAGE font size - not the main screen "message list". Suggestions to change screen resolution are common but are ludicrous. One would have to change resolution every time they went in or out of Thunderbird! CTRL+ is also suggested but does not work on the message list. Creating and inserting CSS into the profile is a ridiculous suggestion for most users. And changing advanced settings is only an option for a guru - from my experience less than 10% of the folks I know would even look at the advanced settings - and less than 10% of those few would actually attempt such changes. This has been an ongoing complaint for a looong time.
It's time someone stepped up to the plate and provided a reasonable method of changing the size of the text on this screen.
Or do you want to limit you users to only programmer types?

I have recently made the switch in the last week to Thunderbird from Apple Mail. I have been a Firefox user for many years. Near enough from the beginning. So far I am impressed with Thunderbird but it is lacking something that I don't get with Firefox. Font size is a big issue for me too and it's straining my already short sighted and possibly making (damaging) my eyesight more by using Thunderbird.
Though I agree with everything you are saying. I am one of those users who would prefer to change things within thunderbird itself rather than go and install another third party addon. I by no means am a guru but I have a fairly good understanding of things and would like to learn more about the about:config side of things treading carefully. I have tweaked things in Firefox this way. and disabled some items for security reasons. I am having difficulty finding info within the Mozilla site on this side of things and have yet to go down the search engine route for research into this.
I would like to change not only the main message list as you suggest but also the From, Subject, Reply To, To and Route content along with the Reply, Forward, Archive btns along with any other content etc, above the main message content. As well as my folders.
I feel Thunderbird is lacking accessibility features for those with bad vision or using smaller screen sizes. What I would like is a + and - with percentage btn like in Firefox that zooms in and out the complete page in a more responsive web like way. This would greatly improve things for many users. I'm sorry Mozilla but being able to zoom in and out with a keyboard shortcut in the main message content is not good enough.

Help Viewer Font Size Way Too Small

Hello,
The font size of the adobe help viewer content is way too
small (it looks like a 4 pt or something). I can hardly read it at
all. Can someone please tell me how to enlarge it?
Thanks a lot!
Mike

Hi Mike
I recall that earlier incarnations of the help viewer had a
zoom setting that would allow for this. Sadly, it seems to have
disappeared and I'm unsure why.
Perhaps it will be helpful to know that you may view the

Photoshop CS6 Fonts crashing Word 2011 on OS X Yosemite.

On a newly imaged system we install the base osx 10.10.1 and then Office 2011 and Photoshop CS6 v13.0.6 x64. At first login for any user Word crashes when building the font menu. A logout and log back in as the same user, it works fine the second time around. We've cleaned out all of the duplicate fonts from Font Book. How would I find out which of Adobe's fonts that gets installed (in AdobeFontsRequired-mul.pkg or AdobeFontsRecommended-mul.pkg ) is causing the issue in our lab environment?? Loading just an OS X 10.10.1 and Office system works just fine.

We are having the same issue. Currently searching for a solution. In our instance, it is not only word, but Excel and Powerpoint as well. Launching any of the applications and then logging out and logging in corrects the problem, however this is not a solution because we are setting up these computers in a lab environment.

Fireworks & Photoshop CS6 font rendering

Hi everyone,
Just a quick question. Has Adobe now unified the font rendering engine for both Fireworks and Photoshop? I've always found that when working with PSD or Fireworks PNG files between the two apps, that fonts get rendered or kerned differently, which is a little frustrating.
I would hope that after 8 years, Fireworks would have no trouble working with PSD files and fonts. I was a bit disappointed to see that things hadn't changed in CS5.5.
One may ask why I don't just use Photoshop all the time. Well, I would, but for doing quick edits of files, Fireworks fits the bill perfectly for working with web graphics. Photoshop is a little more involved for this sort of thing, and sometimes I have to work with PSD files in Fireworks, to export my slices.
Thanks in advance for the comments :-)
Steve

I love the graphic! Awesome. But that's gotta be the worst pickup line ever.
I'm impressed with how closely you matched the Photoshop versions using FW's Custom Anti-Alias. I've occasionally used text rendered in a web browser—and taken a screenshot of it—when I thought it looked better than Photoshop or Fireworks.
A few thoughts:
Photoshop CS2 applies kerning by default (it's called "Metrics"). To match that in Fireworks, you'd want to turn Auto Kern on. (This would be the flip side to the approach taken in TrapperKeeper's graphic, where all kerning has been turned off.)
Photoshop used to link up with Image Ready, which was Adobe's answer to Macromedia Fireworks. I imagine it was easier to retain text rendering with that setup, and I'm surprised that Adobe didn't build in some sort of method for preserving text rendering in that type of workflow, when they decided to discontinue Image Ready.
When using Fireworks to create slices of a PSD file with text, a good workflow might be to make a copy of the file in Photoshop, flatten the text, and then use that version to slice up in Fireworks.
Following is a pretty amazing article about text rendering on monitors that includes some insights into Photoshop's Anti-Alias settings:

I think I bought a fake or counterfeit version of Photoshop CS6 extended. How do I find out for sure.

i am using windows 7 on an HP Pavilion dv6-6108. I purchased Photoshop CS6 extended. The guy said it is a full Retail version and "self installs" the serial number and activates. It doesn't fully install into my control panel programs, instead it puts 2 icons on the desk top for Photoshop, but they have a "install shield" on them. I can't update (the update and register features are grayed out.under the help menu. The program opens, but everytime it does, it brings up the window asking if you want to let this program make changes on the computer. Supposedly the serial number that auto-loads is inscribed on the inner ring of the disk, but you can't really tell what they are. So I have no way to know what it is. Lots of other odd ball stuff that makes me doubt the genuineness of the product. What can I do to establish real or fake? And to get it registered like my other Adobe products.

That's the dead giveaway. It's counterfeit.

I am trying to use the Mini Bridge in Adobe Photoshop CS6 (desktop) and all I get is "Waiting for Bridge CS6 ..." in the panel at the bottom of the screen.

I am running on a Core i7 iMac with 20GB or RAM and have already done the two applicable steps in the main Adobe help area relating to Switchboard (Error: Waiting for Bridge | Mini Bridge panel) to no avail. Any ideas?

Have you tried to start the bridge CS6 then open Photoshop CS6 try to use the mini bridge.
I have a problem on windows too. Sometimes when I open CS6 version 13.1.2 and try to use the mini bridge Its panels has a message Bridge must be running and there is a launch bridge button. When I use that button Bridge gets launched but may hangs before displaying its application window or anything in the mini bridge panel. I can terminate the bridge when this happens with windows task manager and start the bridge. After doing that the mini bridge launch button became a reconnect button using it mini bridge then work.
I can also start Bridge CS6 before Photoshop CS6 and mini bridge works as soon as Photoshop is up and running.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 unable to process more than 10 Images for Panoramic

I have Adobe Photoshop CS6 with latest patches installed and cannot create a panoramic picture from 18 photos (360 degrees). I can get it to work with a maximum of 10 photos. Photoshop Elements 12 works fine on another identical computer, but not CS6. Is there a work around or a problem or known bug? How do I resolve the issue?
System is an
HP DC8300 Core i5 System with 4GB of memory on Windows 7 32bit Enterprise Edition

4 GB of RAM? for a 10 pict panorama? Ouch!

I found a solution to Photoshop CS6, Windows 8.1 HiDPI, Small UI problem

I found a solution and here it is - I have been struggling to find a solution to the small UI on Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 issue since May 2014 when I purchased a Dell XPS15 with high resolution. Like many, I've spent countless hours searching for a solution and reading Adobe's weak answers and everyone's growing frustrations. Finally a found a post that solved the issue for me. The UI is now fine for both Photoshop and Illustrator.
Here is the link - it worked for me and was really very easy to do.
Hack makes Photoshop and Illustrator readable on Surface Pro — Surface Pro Artist

I have never fully understood Microsoft windows desktop scaling and usually just stay with Microsoft default settings. I have played with it some, I know if I scale fonts way up in size the may not fit in in son applications UI areas and have also observed the some application seem to honor Microsoft scaling and others do not. So I never set a custom scaling factor. I stick with the few presets Microsoft set up. Normally stick with Microsoft default setting. The seems to be for the most machines 100%. When I set up my surface Pro 3 I notices that Microsoft default for the machine 150%. Microsoft presets are 100% 2160x1440, 125% 1728x1152, the 150% default 1440x960 and 200% 1080x720. Applications like Web browsers saw the screen at the 150% size resolution 1440x960 Pixe's and display was very useable. Application like Adobe Photoshop saw the display 100% setting 2160x1440 and the UI was in the small useable you need to add a mouse. If I use CC 2014 Preference 2x UI Photoshop would use the 200% setting 1080x720 and Photoshop UI was so large it did not fit on screen. the display was not 768 pixel high. So I thought I would try the registry hack and the external Photoshop.exe.manifest file to see how 150% scale looked. 1440x960 meets Photoshop display size requirement. The result is quite nice. Here are three screen captures one with PS UI and tool bat a second wit UI, Tool bar and some Pallets and a third in full screen mode without UI, Tool Bar and Palettes. All have my touchkey UI. It is like having a display with an 144 ppi resolution. John thank you for posting what you found. Its looking good.

Photoshop CS6 Menus and Icons too small on Windows 8.1 with 4K UHD display

Hello,
So I have seen that I am not the first one to ask this question, but I have yet to find any true resolutions. I recently bought anew laptop, a Lenovo with a 4K UHD display which I already love for so many things. But, like a few other programs, the high resolution means the icons and menu text of PS CS6 are incredibly small, which may be alright on a TV, but on a laptop screen, it make it incredibly difficult to work. I have tried all sorts of different approaches in Windows, such as changing the OS font sizes and icon sizes, which do indeed change everything else on the computer, but PS is still the same tiny size. I have also increased the text size under the interface preferences to large, but with little real change. I understand why this is happening, but I am hoping that there is some sort of workaround, beyond just bumping down my screen resolution, which defeats the whole purpose of using UHD to edit photos. I have heard rumors of being able to code in some UI changes manually, but have found no concrete examples of how to actually do that.
I am sure that it would not take Adobe too much time and effort to create an update to help with scaling, but they are very set on pushing forward with Creative Clound, leaving the rest of us loyal customers to the dust until we pay up. If anyone has found any resolutions or workarounds, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

Well other than that, I can't offer anything else as a forum volunteer. I have no idea if anything, what Adobe plans to do for CS6.
I do know that Photoshop CC 2014 has a 200% ui feature for Windows and you might like the Photography Plan which for $10 monthly includes Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom for $10/month.
You can trial CC 2014 to see if it does solve your situation
