In Photoshop CS5 my text appears to be very thick (all fonts).  As if I had a bold on it when I don't.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Ann

Are your anti-aliasing settings off?

Sorry, I don't even know where to find anti-aliasing settings.  Can you let me know where it hides?

Hi annconroy

Have you tried:   Layer > Type   to view the anti-alias settings?  I don't have CS5 but it's in PS7.


I not convinced that's your problem, it could simply be "messed up" preferences which are normally easy to fix, you will need to end then restart Photoshop as shown below:



While holding down the [Ctrl  Alt  Shift ] keys,
 
Click your Photoshop shortcut
or
Click Start > All Programs > Photoshop.

A Message Box will ask "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File" to which you answer Yes.

The Preferences file will be rebuilt to factory settings and hopefully your problem is fixed.

It was the anti-alias setting. I tried the different options and on "smooth" the text is perfect.  Thank you very much!
