I m importing one image in latex document. But caption has bigger font than my normal text on page.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
Some text...
\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[height=1in,width=1in,angle=-90]{foo}
\caption{This is a figure.}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
More text...
\end{document}
How to reduce the font size of caption and space between caption and image?
You can do it with caption package. The space between the caption and the figure is called skip (default is 10pt).
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx} %% Remove [demo] in your file
%\usepackage{caption}
%\captionsetup[table]{font=small,skip=0pt} %% Adjust here
%or equivalently
\usepackage[font=small,skip=0pt]{caption}
\begin{document}
Some text...
\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[height=1in,width=1in,angle=-90]{foo}
\caption{This is a figure.}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
More text...
\begin{table}[htb]
\centering
\caption{This is a table.}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
% after \\: \hline or \cline{col1-col2} \cline{col3-col4} ...
1 & 2 \\
4 & 7 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
More text...
\end{document}
Please note that \captionsetup{font=small,skip=0pt} affects both tables and figures. If you want it separately, you may use:
\captionsetup[table]{font=small,skip=0pt}
for tables only or
\captionsetup[figure]{font=small,skip=0pt}
for figures only.
:) Making mine better is out of the question since it will look like a duplicate of your answer. +1 anyway.

\captionsetup[table]{} and \captionsetup[figure]{} separately.

For locally change the caption position you can also use a negative value on the setting. For example, when the figure has larger white part, e.g use \vspace{-1cm}, instead of changing the figure itself.
A brute force \vspace{1pt} just before the caption, inside any figure, also works if one wants to change spacings locally.
