Fonts Photoshop appear thicker. HELP

[dave242114299lhi]

Hey Peeps!

Got a problem. Whe i try to use text and I'm done typing and deselect the layer the font seems to get a outline (a few pixles) and it makes thin font unusable. While the same font works perfectly in premiere and others.

 

 

Can't find this problem or a solution to it anywhere.

Thanks

Hi there,

We're sorry to hear that the font looks different in Photoshop. Thanks for reaching out. We're here to help.

Which version of Photoshop are you using? Is Anti-Aliasing ON? What is the file size you are working on?
Did you drag-drop the Text layer or create one in the file?

The most common reason for pixelated text on Photoshop is Anti-Aliasing. This is a setting on Photoshop that helps jagged edges of images or text to appear smooth. Selecting this tool will help blur the edges of your text, giving it a smoother appearance. So, in this case, you need to change it to Crisp.

Check this video for more details: https://learn-photoshop.club/resources/pixelated-text-easy-fixes/#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20reas....

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

Ranjisha

How does the text look when you change the view from 400% to 100%?

If there is still an issue, highlight some of the text with the type tool and share a screenshot with the selected text and the Character panel (Window menu). Screenshots and photos from your phone are not the same thing. Please take a screenshot instead of a photo:

• https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/windows.html  (click the tab for Windows OS)
  or

All responses helped me find the solution. 

Select the text so you're able to type the text you want, then right-click on your text, and in the dropdown menu, I found (Faux Bold) selected/ticked. Select this at the bottom of the dropdown menu to unselect/untick this option to resolve your issue. 

Worked for me, but this article got me there, so thank you all!

thanks for the response.

I solved my problem it had to do with scaling but it was different:
so i made a new Text and scaled it down bij tranforming it... and after
that i scale it up in Font size... so thats seems to effect the thickness
of the font you work with.

so I'm out of problems to solve but that was the solution.
Thanks again

Scaling text with Free Transform is not the same as changing the Type Size in the options bar or Character panel. That could have caused the issue.
