Question

Paragraph styles are not applying correctly

Out of the blue, the paragraph styles are applying incorrect and random qualities. I can't get the color of the style to apply to some layers, and in others the color applies properly but the font size is bizarrely small! I can't figure out why this is happening. I've restarted Photoshop more than once, reset preferences, restarted the computer, and even uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop. Please see this video:

Ok, now I selected several layers and changed them all from no style (set to Raleway 9 pt in black) to the "BASIC PARAGRAPH" style (Raleway 9 pt in green/blue), and it changed them all the Myriad Pro 9 pt in black. Then I selected just one layer, clicked on "BASIC PARAGRAPH," and it changed to Myriad Pro 2.88 pt in black 🙄

Oh, and I notice now that it changed the font completely from Raleway to Myriad Pro (although it's hard to see at 2.82). I think I may have tried Myriad Pro when I was trying out different fonts on the body text awhile ago.

Oh, and I did not scale the affected ever. I may have scaled the header—would that have caused a glitch in the rest of the document?

Hi Jane,

 

Well, it's very odd, but when you asked about the character styles I clicked on that panel...there are no separate character styles there, but somehow clicking it seems to have changed the behavior or sort of fixed the glitch. There's still something odd going on, though. In the other document where this was occurring, I can still reproduce the error. Here are before and after screenshots showing the character style panel as well as the paragraph style panel. (The paragraph style was already correct here in the title when it was orange, but I applied the body style to the title and it did not apply the style correctly.) I also made another video.

Hi @sshutterbug06 

Some questions:

  • Did you ever scale with Free Transform? If so, follow the steps from Jesús Ramirez to fix it. (Try it on one paragraph first.)

  • Is there a Character style applied in addition to the Paragraph style? You haven't show us that panel.
  • Has superscript been applied? It's a character setting.

 

If you don't see it, select some of your text and share a screen shot with these panels:

  • Character
  • Paragraph
  • Character Styles
  • Paragraph Styles
