cannot resize

[azeem268915264toc]

hi i am using photoshop 2023, and it is not allowing me to change the text box size or picture size. if i restart photoshop it fixes the issue for a brief moment and then goes back to normal. text boxes cannot be resized, neither can images, despite making sure all the relevant options are selected.

Hi

Try resetting your Photoshop preferences

thank you for your reply. i did the reset and still no luck, i restarted my photoshop as well, uninstalled - reinstalled but to no avail. its quite frustrating as its just not letting me resize at all. i just tried creating a new text box and it wont even let me create that without making its own shape, and then not allowing me to adjust it

You didn't say if you are a new or experienced user, or if this issue just started after working before.

• Are you creating text by clicking and typing (point text) or by dragging a frame and then typing (paragraph text)?
• Are you changing the typesize with the options bar/Character panel (proper) or with Edit > Free Transform.
• If you are dragging out a frame and using Paragraph text, are you resizing the frame with the Type tool (proper) or another tool?

We may need to see a video.

Had the same issue. Never noticed it before, because I resize a lot of photos, art etc. So in the image box, if it is in pixels the file size will not change. Try that - works in inches. I had the dimesions in pixels for a particular sites requirements.
