Next time when you create a new document change the centimetres to pixels.
Right now your document is about 22000*7500 pixels and you have zoomed out a lot, that's why the text seems so small.

Look at the bottom left corner to see the zooming percent, right now it's 3%, change it to 100% to see the actual image.


Hope this helps.

Hi there

The problem here is the size of your documents. You're working with a document that's 519 megabytes in size, it's so big you're having to view it at 3%. This kinda document would be big enough to print off and stick to the side of a bus - which is good if you're trying to create an advertisment for a fleet of buses - but for everyday use it's way too large.

Close the image, go to the file menu and open up a new document (File>New). CS3 has some useful presets for web projects and printed media etc, select one that fits your project or specify your own dimensions. Maybe you could select a 1024x768 pixel document from the web presets and experiment.

The clouds filter and the type tool are both resolution dependent by default so you'll get different results with different sized images.

Hope this helps
