Check your font size after switching to 72 dpi, or change font units to pixels in Photoshop preferences.

Maybe, if some of the mods are reading this, i should try to explain everything again in a certain post and you could make a sticky out of it, since every month or so, this question comes back, in bout all versions of photoshop.
If you think this is usefull, any of the mods plz pm me.

photoshop works in pixels, nothing else, only amount of pixels.
your setting is 300 ppi. So if you put in type and choose f.ex. 72 points.
Since your screen works in a resolution of 72 ppi, you have the habbit of seeing those at a height of 72 pixels, so that's your reference.
NOW, photoshop does a conversion, he says: aha, he puts in a type of 72 points, i know that 72 points = 1 inch, my settings are at 300 dpi, SO i have to show the type at a height of 300 pixels.
Which for you looks very gigantic, but if you would print it out on a printer at 300 ppi, it wout look like type of 1 inch tall.
Hope this helps a little,
sry if your more confused now, but i had to do this very quickly.

So probably you did something wrong.Tested that myself, doesnt matter the slightest in PS, also in large resolutions if it where like that fonts would become smaller not huge.
Open an image in 72 dpi (use Shimano's signature if you want) and write some letters using any font, let's say 15 points large (it's important - points, NOT pixels).
Now change the resolution to 300 dpi, without resampling the image. Now check your font size. It's 3,6 point large now.
Clone this layer and change font size to 15 points. You'll get 4 times bigger lettering.
So as you can see, the resolution does matter if you are using point units for fonts.

Conclusive solution: Use px as the font unit when making text that are for the image. And points when makeing text intended for meattext/brödtext/serif text as they can be identified to match a viewing pleashurable size when printed even if you recalculate your image dpi for different printers. If you have no intention of printing anything then stick with px to make life easier.
If you have no intention of printing anything nothing of this matters, realy. But i think shryie said the abowe already.
PS: You want to have 300 dpi images when printing for a 150 dpi 4color halftone lineraster else stuff could get messed up and offset... But thats only if you are using a 4 color printing press which utelizes halftone plates and no a electromagnetic laser printer. And my head gets realy weard typeing stuff 4.30 am. Just so you know, cheers.
