This post is not about baking or crafting.
However, this has changed my life, so I must share with the bloggy world.
I sat down at my computer this morning and began editing photos. As usual, I was agonizing over picking a font. I'm just the average girl who sees "fonts I love" on pinterest and downloads them all. Sometimes having a lot of options is a bad thing. I take forever choosing fonts!
Since I can't get a feel for how the font will look by these tiny previews, I just highlight and try them all. Not all, but a lot. Like the "Doris Day" font below. How am I supposed to know if I want to try that font? I try many of them, and other font candidates I skip all together because I just don't know what they look like. Well, turns out Doris Day is a darling font (see whaaa? in the picture below).
I don't know why I haven't fixed this problem until now. I didn't even google it. I just looked around in photoshop for one minute and found the remedy to my subconscious font irritations.
Go to
Photoshop>
Preferences>
Type
This window popped up.
The font preview size was at medium. There are several options, but I changed it to "extra large."
It's a MIRACLE! I can see! I can see! My eyes aren't aging after all! Well, maybe they are.
But this small change has made my font selection process MUCH faster. I don't have to try them all because I get a better feel if it's what I'm looking for from the larger preview.
To smart people, this post must seem ridiculously elementary.
And to non-bloggers, this post is snooze-worthy.
But I thought it might help/change your life if you are like me...
A non-techy person trying to get by in photoshop so you can share your projects!
If this helps one person, I am satisfied with my day. Have a good one!
