Default Fucking annoying Photoshop problem!

Anyone know why, when using Photoshop's text tool, the text sometimes appears absolutely miniscule, and there's no way you make it bigger? It just refuses to format the text. The image I'm trying to put text onto is only 1000x1423 pixels. Why!?

(It's probably something really obvious....)

it may be that the dpi of the image is a whole lot bigger than it needs to be. So that the highest text value is strill incredibley small.

Default Res

Check the resolution of the image you are working on... Make it 300 if you haven't alrerady! 'Industry standard' as they say... If that doesn't work get the crayons out!

From the Adobe forums -
" Go to Image---»Image Size...

What is the resolution of the file? (in pixels/inch or pixels/cm)

Are you accustomed to working in inches, and possibly changed your units to metric?

For web work, resolution should be 72 p.p.i.
For print work, resolution should be at least 216* p.p.i. "
*go with 300.
