photoshop problem

[cadmiumgreen]

hi crew,

i have a slight problem with Photoshop 7 that's just driving me nuts! :h:

here it is...
I opened Photoshop 7, made a new file, lets say, 500px X 500px. Magnification was set to 100%. My background is Black.

Now everytime I use the Text Tool to type text using, for example, ARIAL 12pt, the font size is extremely small! So I changed it to 13pt, and the font size was still small!! It was as if i'm using a 5pt font or smaller.

And the only way to get it to a readable size is to set the font size to about 72pt...yikes!

What is the problem? I've also tried restarting my computer!

Sincerely,
cadmiumgreen :ear:

I don't think this would be a correct forum for this thread. Should be moved to Drawing and Design

Are you viewing it at 100%?

Could it be the resolution?

Go to window > character.

Make sure your settings are like so. Don't know if this is the problem though?

when you start a new file, and in the window where you specify the size, make sure the resolution is set to 72dpi and not 300dpi. 300dpi is default size until you change it.
