    Photoshop help *New Problem*

    Ok, I got a 30 day free trial of Photoshop CS 8 I believe. It is a older one, but it is still relatively good. I may have not gotten the title correct, but I do believe it is some sort of Version 8.

    Anyway, the problem is weird. Whenever I use the typing tool, my font comes out insanely small. In order to get it to be seen, I have to up the font size to 400 or so. I have no idea what's going on with it. I just got it around 5 days ago, so I'm still newb-ish at it and that means I may not understand what you're saying when you do try to help me. Well thanks for looking and reading this far!

    Ohh! I know what's wrong with it, but I seriously don't know how to explain it.. Errm.. Well, when you go to image size, change the resolution to 72 or higher. It's something weird Photoshop does sometimes, but if you fix the resolution, you fix the problem

    I try to do that but it is saying something about the 'scratch disks' being full.

    Oh, I know something about that, too.. but I'd have to dig through LJ to find it. I think it's something with your settings, but I'm not sure. Maybe someone else can help better =x

    Okay, first of all, you need to designate a hard drive that has plenty of free space on it as a "scratch disk." Photoshop NEEDS this, so you can "undo" things to multiple levels. You do this under preferences ...

    Then, once you've done that, create a new document, and AS you create it, set the resolution to 72 dpi, if it is something you just want to see on screen. Also, doubleclick the magnifying glass so you are viewing your document at 100%. That also will help.

    Thank you so much Karen! Apparently, my scratch disks were set to my C: drive, which has less than 1GB of space. I set it to my D: drive which as more than 8GB of space. Yes, my fonts are working properly now. Thanks a ton you guys!

    Okay, new problem. This has been bugging me from the beginning but I thought I'd post it now for some reason. Anywho, on a normal photoshop you'd have a whole bunch of filters right? I only have 4 right now. My version isn't that old so I don't know why I don't have all the other ones I'm supposed to have. My brother has the exact same version as me but he has at least 20 more filters than I do. Here's a screenshot...

    You need to show it where your old Filters and Plugins are - maybe move them to that drive, into the Photoshop folder, you'll see a Plug-ins folder - drop 'em in there then retsart the program.

    I've done that before and it still doesn't work. I have them in my Photoshop folder, in my plug-in folder and they still don't work. Thanks for helping Karen!

    Have you actually put them in the CS2 Photoshop Filters folder which is inside the Plug-ins folder?

    I dont know if this is it but it might not be included because it is a trial version of a store bought program.
