Photoshop Elements 5: fonts in small caps

Please help! I'm using Photoshop Elements 5 and all the fonts are in small caps. I've tried different fonts, I've tried starting and restarting program. I can't seem to get the fonts back to lowercase. Thanks!

Try resetting the type tool. To do this, click on an icon or an arrow (depends on version of PE) in the tool's option bar, upper left.

Photoshop Elements UI font too small on high-resolution display

Hi,
I have recently purchased a Dell XPS15 laptop with a QHD+ (3200x1800) display. The PC is running Windows 8.1. I have also purchased Photoshop Elements 12 to run on it.
With the display at the native resolution, it is necessary to have the "Change the size of all items" option in the display settings of Windows 8.1 set to "Larger", in order for the native Windows fonts and UI elements to be at a reasonable size. The laptop came with this option enabled by default.
However, disappointingly the UI font size in Photoshop Elements is way too small when the display is at the native resolution. The application is basically unusable.
I have tried setting the "Use system font" option in the General preferences, but this doesn't seem to help.
The only way I can get the Photoshop Elements UI font to a reasonable size, is by dropping the screen resolution (to say 1920x1080).
This seems like a terrible waste of a beautiful screen, particularly when my main reason for using the PC is for editing photos, and my photo management and editing software is preventing me exploiting the full resolution of the display.
I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks.

Unfortunately there is no option in PSE to vhange the UI fonts (other than switching to System Font' in preferences. So traditionally changing the Windows display font size has been the only workaround, and even that can cause problems with individual menus disappearing and being replaced with a hard to spot >> drop-down menu.
If you have a dual-display system you could have the menus on the lower resolution screen with images on the hi-res.

Neale

How do I change caps of an OpenType font to small caps in my InDesign cc document?

Greetings, Community. It would be great if I could discover how to change caps of an OpenType font to small caps in my InDesign cc document. That's the simple question.
To be more exact, I have an 18-page play that contains stage directions in caps in parentheses, which I would like to change to small caps. The font I'm using is an OpenType, Minion Pro, with small caps.
Another thing is, I'd ideally like to be able to do that without changing all caps in the document, and also, to not have to convert the caps to lower case in order to do it.
My source document (which I Placed in my InDesign document) is Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac.
I did go to Microsoft to find out how to do it in Word, but could only find a solution for Word for Windows.
I did try their solution anyhow (a macro) but it didn't work.
     Thanks a lot. It's great being in InDesign even though I had my good years with QuarkXpress, which eventually became impossible for me.

Photoshop elements 12 toolbar too small

I have recently loaded a fully paid for version of Photoshop Elements 12. When I open the program, the toolbar and all the fonts anywhere are tiny....like a 2 font. I spent 2 hours with Adobe support and he didn't know what to do....Must have been a new guy. From doing web searches on this problem, I know this is not a new problem. People were complaining about this as far back at 2010. I know this could not be a problem across the board or the company would not succeed. I am sure there is an answer. I just need someone smart to tell me what it is. I have a Windows 8 laptop. It is new and has lots of memory. When I try to change the computers resolution,everything (except Photoshop) becomes ridiculously large. Cant keep it like that. I dont know what to do!!!
Thanks

Have you used Help>Updates from within the pse 13 editor to get the 13.1 update?
After that in the pse 13 editor you can go to Edit>Preferences>Display & Cursors and set the UI Scale Factor to Large-200%.
Then restart the pse 13 editor for the setting to take effect.
Also, you might want to install the 13.1.1 update, which fixes some bugs in the pse 13 organizer:

Photoshop Elements 13 Icons too small

After recently installing Photoshop Elements 13 onto my new Dell laptop, all the icons are rather small, yet they show they are at the largest size. When taking a photography class and we uploaded a RAW photo, the instructions were too tiny to read and I had to use a magnifying glass to read them. Anyone have this problem before?

How do I make the font bigger for the file folders in Photoshop Elements 11?

You can only do it by reducing your dispaly resolution but thay may affect the look of other applications.

How to increase the size of Photoshop Elements 8 MENU and PANEL fonts?

How do I increase the size of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 MENU, PANEL and other fonts used in Photoshop Editor?
Does anyone know of registry fix or other solution?
Thanks
FYI:
I've increased windows XP display fonts to 140 dpi, only Photoshop Elements 8 fonts did NOT increase, such as menu, panel and drop down fonts -- they remain very small and almost unreadable. All other programs menu fonts did increase.

I’m sure Adobe try to make their products as accessible as possible to all sections of the community although by its very nature certain adjustments to fine detail require the use of a mouse.
However where possible keyboard short cuts are provided, as an alternative to the drop down menus. For example to adjust levels rather than clicking Enhancements>>Lighting>>Levels you can simply press Ctr+L.
Importantly it’s possible to zoom in and out on any image in the Editor using Ctr plus or Ctr minus.
That's the only suggestion I can think of.

Small caps not working in web fonts

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem implementing OpenType features in web fonts. No matter what typeface or browser I use—and I've tried several of each—I can't get the CSS font-face property to listen to font-variant:small-caps. In every case, the browser synthesizes its own small caps by scaling the full caps, which of course looks terrible.
The typefaces I've tried with this are all open-source advanced fonts: Cabin, Cardo, Lato, and Sorts Mill Goudy, all of which support small caps at least in their roman, regular-weight face. I've used Firefox 5, Opera 11.5, and the latest build of Iron (Chrome without Big Brother), all to no avail.
It's worth mentioning that other properties of advanced web typography, such as automatic ligatures (as well as the font-face property itself), are all working.
You can see my test page at http://www.utcolmus.org/test.html , and the CSS file at http://www.utcolmus.org/main.css. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Bram

Yeah, that doesn't work.
CSS 3 supports directly accessing real small caps. Currently only Firefox supports this, and only via moz-prefixed properties (which makes sense as CSS 3 isn't final yet).

Office 2013 RTM: STILL no true small caps: WHY? WHY? WHY?

I have just un-installed the Office 2013 Preview, and installed the Office 2013 RTM 60-day trial.
I had hoped that between the two versions, the issue of missing true small caps in Word had been addressed. But no. Whilst Word 2013 supports OpenType ligatures and OpenType stylistic sets and OpenType old-style numbers and and and, it STILL DOES NOT SUPPORT
TRUE SMALL CAPS. Yes, it has a small caps function, but this just reduces the size of the font, instead of using the dedicated small caps letters included in a lot of OpenType fonts. What's the difference? The difference is that with true small caps, the stroke
width of upper case, lower case and small caps letters match, whereas in the cheapy, flimsy, yucky version that Office only offers, the small caps letters are thinner than the normal letters of that font - obviously so, as they are merely shrunken.
Try it for yourself. Type something like "AaMmXx" in an OpenType font with small caps, say, Calibri or Gabriola, at, say, 24pt, in Word 2013 and in Publisher 2013, and apply small caps in each, and print them. Compare the stroke widths. See what I mean?
Publisher does true small caps. Word doesn't.
So, why, Microsoft, why, oh why, oh why, when other typographical features (ligatures, stylistic sets, etc. etc. & so 4th) are supported in Word 2013, are small caps not? I just don't understand it. Why? Are small caps held to be something that only
professional typesetters should be allowed to use with typesetting programs like Publisher, whereas ordinary folk with Word shouldn't? Or is it trick to boost sales of Puiblisher? Or did no-one think about it? What is it? Because it's very annoying!

Well, in the second place, inserting characters via Insert Symbol is a pain in the posterior, and, of course, the spell checker doesn't recognise them. But in the first place, that only works if the font author has been thoughtful enough to give the small
caps glyphs Unicode code points, say, in the Private Use Area (like in Calluna). Normally, however, they don't - the small caps glyphs are only accessible via a small caps function, as lacking in Word. Excel is worse - apparently, Microsoft think that OpenType
advanced features ought not to be used in spreadsheets.
So having found fonts with small caps, the only way to use them is to use a font program either to assign the small caps glyphs to PUA code points, or to put them in a separate font (which at least means that other applications and spell checkers can use
them).

Small caps not displaying correctly in the ePub file

Hello All,
I am using cs5.5 to generate ePub file, and I found that small caps contents not displaying correctly in the generated ePub file even the CSS looks correct. Please check and confirm, if anyone faced this issue? Also other formatting components are looks fine in the ePub file.
Thanks,
Praveen

@Jongware/Bob, thanks for your responses, I checked the ePub output using 'Adobe Digital Editions', and getting the same issue in 'Calibre', but in 'Sigil', it looks fine.
In CSS it has been declared like below:
span.SmallCaps {
font-variant : small-caps;
Here 'SmallCaps' is the character style applied for the 'small caps' contents.
Thanks,
Praveen

Photoshop Elements screen size

Hi, I have a new Dell XPS laptop (screen resolution 3200 X 1800) and have recently installed Photoshop Element 10. The problem is that the Photoshop Elements screens are extremely small. If I 'maximize' the Photoshop screens, the page fills the screen, but the contents of the labels are still extremely small, so small that I can't read them. What can I do to get the Photoshop Elements screens readable. Thanks

Unfortunately Elements 10 can't handle hdpi displays. Only PSE13 can (with an update to 13.1); If you choose to update, download the trial version and see if that is ok for your computer display.
Otherwise, I believe your only solution would be to set your screen to a lower resolution in Windows, which would have the effect on all other installed softwares.

How to set the text size on Photoshop elements 8

Am new at this!
Where are the settings for elements 8 ? I have to enlarge my type to read. the titles and instructions on the photoshop elements are much too small.
I tried what I do with my compu......ctrl +......that doesn't work. It probably is a simple thing but I can't find it.
Please, I need help.
thanks,
granib

In general it’s not possible to change the UI display. But you could try the Windows settings.
Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE9 requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) won’t. Sometimes the mouse or tool cursors are distorted.
Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%. A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops, and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE9 requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality.
Unfortunately you may need to keep changeing back and forth. It's not perfect.

I have photoshop elements 10 and can no longer access my photos. Any suggestions?

I have had photoshop elements 10 for years, Recently tried to access my photos but can no longer open them. Tried purchasing "13" but after downloading OSX10.8, the newer photoshop will not open. Am a novice with computers, so please keep answers simple, thanks

Okay. Spent 6 hours w Apple support today trying to get photoshop to work. They were awesome. Able to download photoshop 13 after upgrading to OSX10.8. But when I tried to import my library from my photoshop elements 10 only a small number transferred. Before spending the day with the kind apple staff, when I opened photoshop 10, it wouldn't allow me to open or download any of the photos sitting in the app. I was promised that my photos were transferred to adobe revel but only about 1/10 are available to me at this time. Do I need to pay adobe to transfer the library to revel ? Or am I missing something?

PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS ON A NOTEBOOK?

I AM HOPING I CAN RUN PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 7 ON A SMALL LIGHT NOTEBOOK TO TAKE ON 'PHOTO SAFARI'... WILL THAT SOFTWARE WORK ON THE TII5D-S1120 WITH 1.6GHz/2GB/250GB?

Satellite T115D-S1120
The real question is whether Elements 7 will run on 64-bit Windows 7. The answer is apparently Yes.
64 bit Photoshop Elements 7
PSE and 64-bit Windows
You'll be able to handle images better if you upgrade the memory to 4 GB, of course.
