Last night I purchased for my Mac a copy of Photoshop Elements 9 and I have been spending this public holiday (Vesak Day) playing around with it. I was editing images for a possible website redesign when I ran into a snag. I used the text tool to overlay a message on a picture but the text appeared incredibly large. It was gargantuan! I could fit no more than one or two characters in the entire image.
I tried Googling “photoshop elements inserted text too large” but came to several pages that did not solve my problem. I played around with Photoshop some more and eventually solved my problem. Since the questioner on the above page did not get a satisfactory answer I wanted to document my discovery here, as public service to anyone else out there with the same problem.
