Photoshop 25.1 and Text Size.

Hi,

When entering text, there seems to be a problem with size. There appears to be three places where text sizes now need to be entered to work, 1), the menu bar, 2) properties AND 3) in the generative fill bar. This is a repetitive process having to enter the same thing in three places and anyone of these should work but unfortunately it doesn't. This slows the workflow down, especially since it doesn't appear to save the last use either. Am I doing something wrong?

I typically just set size in the Character panel and that works. I don't use Generative Fill at all so nothing is displayed for that.

Thank you. If the Generative Fill bar is visible, the information you set in the Characters panel seems to appear automatically there too.

Hi @Linns2 first I'm hearing of this. What happens if you enter a size in any three of those locations alone? Does this size not apply?

As for setting default sizes, you would want to change that with no document open to change the default between documents, or while in a document change the size with the text tool selected but without a text layer selected. That will set the tool settings for that specific document.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your reply. I am adding a text line of numbers on a series of images. Normally I would choose Text and either change the size in the menu either before or after typing. When trying it now it doesn't stick. I noticed that properties had a different number so I tried changing that as well. The size changed but then the text reverted to the smaller of those two original choices. I then noticed Generative Fill has an area with a third size. I changed them all to the same number and then it worked. None of them seem to take precedence and at least two of them keep changing randomly unless all three are the same. As well, if I used 150px before in the menu, it would remain at 150 px for the next image. Not any more. They seem to decide on their own each time.

You should be able to change the size in any one of thos areas it should stick. Makes no sense that you have to change it in each one. Can you share a screenshot with your text layer selected your type tool as the active tool and all 3 areas visible - properties panel, options bar and contextual task bar...
