About Dynamic Shortcuts
Dynamic Shortcuts are keyboard shortcuts that are accessible only when you are entering point or paragraph type, when type is selected, or when
the I-beam is in text. You can view Dynamic Shortcuts in the Character panel menu when they are accessible. Dynamic Shortcuts are available
for type options such as Faux Bold, Faux Italic, All Caps, Small Caps, Superscript, Subscript, Underline, and Strikethrough.
Dynamic shortcuts appear in the Character panel menu only when you are entering point or paragraph type, when type is selected, or when the
I-beam is in text.
Specify type size
The type size determines how large the type appears in the image.
The default unit of measurement for type is points. One PostScript point is equal to 1/72 of an inch in a 72-ppi image; however, you can switch
between using the PostScript and traditional definitions of point size. You can change the default unit of measurement for type in the Units &
Rulers area of the Preferences dialog box.
Choose a type size
In the Character panel or options bar, enter or select a new value for Size
To use an alternate unit of measurement, enter the unit (in, cm, mm, pt, px, or pica) after the value in the Font Size text box.
To change the unit of measurement for type, choose Edit > Preferences > Units & Rulers (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > Units
& Rulers (Mac OS), and choose a unit of measurement from the Type menu.
