Font stays small in photoshop

[jaspermaxx44]

I'm running photoshop 2018. I'm add text on a photo and no matter what style I use or size of font. The font stays very very small. Why is that. It was fine before.

Why is that.

Why have you not given meaningful information?

Please read this (in particular the section titled "Supply pertinent information for quicker answers"):

What is the image’s resolution?

Could you please post a screenshot with the text selected and taken at View > 100% with the pertinent Panels (Layers, Character, Options Bar, …) visible?

Does the issue also apply when you create a new image with 300ppi and create new Type Layer?

3. Brand new high end Computer.
4. Everything was working fine before.
5. I purchased photoshop from Adobe.

I hope this is what you mean and helps.

With those dimensions you need to get the type size up to something like 1000pt to see the words clearly.

Go to Image > Image size, select Resample and change 6PPI to (say) 300PPI.

I tried that and it said program error.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I DID THAT, AND IT TOTALLY FIXED MY PROBLEM. YOU ROCK SIR!!!

[jaspermaxx44]

I can only go up to 72pt. I never had this problem before, very strange.

[Derek Cross]

I assume this image is for printing, if so change the resolution to between 200 and 300PPI

(Ensure Resample is selected)

[Derek Cross]

You won't need to select such a large size font if you change the resolution. By the way, you can easily change the size to over 72pt by typing in the size you want (there are other methods as well).

[Derek Cross]

Sorry – I should have said Resample: unticked as the screen shot below!

Who set the image to 6ppi?

[jaspermaxx44]

yea we tried that and it worked. thanks all.

[jaspermaxx44]

I don't remember. not me anyways

[Derek Cross]

Is this a copyright image you've rented?

[c.pfaffenbichler]

I had hoped that my asking about the image’s resolution and about how the issue plays out in an image with 300ppi would serve as a hint …

[jaspermaxx44]

I paid for it. big time lol. No image is worth 200.00 lol
