P: Text size isn't being remembered between documents

In previous versions of Photoshop. The Font and size were remembered between documents. Now the font is remembered, but the size is automatically changing to 38.25 pt

I would like it at 10pt, and remember that it needs to stay 10pt.  I remember a bug a few Photoshop versions back, resetting the font to Myriad Pro each time. It's acting just like that, only this time, it's the font size, not the font type. The fix for that was to turn on "fill with placeholder text", but that isn't working for this issue.

I appreciate your response. That would be the case if the document sizes were different, but in the work I do, they are all the same size and DPI.

Check the pixels per inch (ppi) numbers in your two documents.

 

Font size in points is a physical size measure, dating back to lead typesetting. To translate that to pixels, which is all Photoshop understands, the ppi number is used for the translation. That means the same point size appears very much bigger in a 72 ppi document than in a 300 ppi document.

 

The font size in both these documents is 36 points. Both are 640 x 380 pixels, but one has 300 ppi assigned, the other 72 ppi:

and I can't edit or delete my reply. My fix doesn't work because as soon as you switch to another document, it reverts. At least now it's changing to size 24, so we're getting closer!

So I did find a quick fix, but it's not optimal. I created a tool preset that had my desired font and size and assigned it to an action. So when I load a document, I can change the font to the one I want with a hotkey.

Updated Photosop CC 24.7.0 yesterday & immediatly found this bug.

 

I use the type tool to caption my images. I use Segoe Print, Regular, 14pt, Sharp.

 

Since 24.7.0 each time I re-open the tool the pt. size has changed to 36, without me doing anything, so that I have to change it back to 14 again before further use. It has never don this before no matter what version of Photoshop I have used.

 

This is on a fully updated PC using the current version of Windows 11.

 

Looking forward to a fix in the next update.

Hi @Canaryfan1 go to the type tool with no file open and change your settings in the options bar above to set your default size and font.
