The Adjustment Brush Tool is a powerful offering from Photoshop to help you make localized adjustments to specific areas of your image. It combines the flexibility of adjustment layers with the control of a brush tool, giving you greater precision in your edits.
Combine your traditional workflows of selecting, masking, and applying an adjustment into one step and simplify how you make local adjustments.
All the adjustments you make with the Adjustment Brush Tool are non-destructive, as they generate a new adjustment layer with a layer mask when applied.
Adjustments are applied with default values that will be visible on most images. Once applied, you can edit the adjustment values in the Properties panel.

Set default font size automatically, a new preference in Photoshop enabled by default, calculates and sets the default font size based on document resolution and zoom factor.
When you create a new document or open an existing document without type layers selected, the font size will be reset to the newly calculated default font size. Also, the leading will be set to Auto.
If you disable this preference, the default font size for new type layers will be set to 12 pt.
