Paragraph Styles in Photoshop CS6? Nope.
therealrgbk Aug 22, 2012 3:01 PMFirst Bug:
If I select a formatted text layer, and then click on the "Create New Paragraph Style" icon in the Paragraph Styles Panel, it creates a generic style which has absolutley no correlation to the style of the text layer i had selcted while clicking that icon. It's just Myriad Pro, 12pt, black, auto leading.
I thought i maybe misunderstood the function of that feature. But in this tutorial, at 03:12 it shows the exact opposite.

Second Bug:
I've had an issue and now confirmed that it is a known bug where if i scale the document i'm working in, or transfrom scale a text layer, the character panels font-size and leading details will be corrupted.
Here's the kist of it, but before you read this, the exact issue is happening with paragraph styles that i have to blindly craft within the extremely slow, beach balling Paragraph Styles Control panel (due to the first bug mentioned above. Basically if i set the point size in th Paragraph Styles Dialogue box to be 24px, then apply that to a text layer, it will make the text layer 48px!! Man. Oh man. OH MAN.

Third Bug:
This isnt really a biug, more like a 'wtf'.
I have a super fast Retina MBP, with 16GB Ram. I never, ever wait for anything when i'm workign with photoshop. All i make is web site layouts. They might be a little layered, but still i never waited. My mac comes to a stand still if i only open the drop down menu in the Paragraph Styles Dialogue box and change the leading or soemthing. Once, it even crashed. I've never seen such a huge disconnect between speeds of processes in CS6.
Possible issue:
I do have an extension from Font Shop and WebInk installed, but i dont have it open, so it surely isnt doing anything to this.
Questions:
Does anyone else have this issue?
What do you guys and gals actually think of this new feature?
Is it also slow for you, like unbelievabley incomaprably slow or is it just unlucky me? (even in the video demo above the guy is beach ballin')
How can this be such a painful experince in CS6, in 2012, when it's been around since the 90s in Quark and InDesign?
Photoshop, this is the equivalent of giving us a Porsche with no keys. Torture! I need this to work. I've waited a decade, literally for this kind of tool to be introduced. It's torture to have what you want except it doesnt remotely work. It's one of the big reasons i bought CS6 in the first place.
