I am making a brochure for a client, and I am making at actual size so that it is ‘copy ready’.

The main issue I have is the font: the maximum sized fonts I use in photoshop is way too small for a 4 inch x 9 inch brochure. I used the little window in photoshop (I am using CS) where the font size can be increased by taking the font from 100% to 200%.

The problem is that in the "proof" for the brochure, the fonts are just slightly pixelated.

Is there a way to increase font size without gaining that pixelization?

Thanks,

-MR

Instead of your way of working now: you can type in any point size in the point size field. Thus 72 IS NOT the largest size Photoshop can handle.

Also, I hardly ever do text (and logos) in Photoshop, I use either Illustrator or InDesign for that job.
