I just downloaded the program from a CD and when I open it the text in the program appears pixelated (not sure if this is a real word). This also happens when I open a picture in the program making it very difficult to edit.
I took some pictures my cat with a SONY cybershot 3.3 megapixel camera at 1024x768. I saved it to the computer and opened it in microsoft picture view and it looks fine. You can tell each hair individually. When I want to edit it in photoshop, it turned out to be fuzzy and cartoony like. It was loosing some colors and you can't make out individual hair strands. I then opened it up in AI. It looks the same as it was with microsoft picture viewer. It was as if it can't display any more colors. I checked the settings and it appeared to be correct. I don't know what is wrong. I have not yet reset the profile yet (I never changed it). I will try that tonight. I would not know what to do after that.
I have now reset the profile too but it still does not work. It looks very grinny. It is almost as it is not displaying all the colors. I have ATI X850 XT and Dell 24" Ultrasharp and Sony 19" so I don't think it was monitor or video card problem because the picture still looks fine in Adobe illustrator.
I have tried for the life of me to figure this one out...why is my text ALWAYS fuzzy when I print it out, no matter what I do? I am not manipulating it at all, just typing it on my page, then printing. I have tried checking and unchecking "scale to fit media", I have tried printing straight from the psd file, I have tried printing from a saved jpg image. It doesn't look fuzzy/blurry at ALL on my computer screen.
I have 2 to 6 tables per drawing, each at a maximum of 48 cells. I linked them through the special paste and expended them so each cell is 6" Wide and 1" Tall (in model space) and seen through a viewport at 2" = 1'-0" (so 1" wide by .167" tall). The text is noticeably fuzzy and I'm trying to clear it up without going back to the Tables (the reformatting of the Tables already spent an extra 2 hours on one of the 11 assignments).
I can't get text in Photoshop CS to look right. It usually looks good on screen unless I zoom in. Since I think these are vectors I would think it would always look good no matter what the zoom level. I am trying to print my company name in Times NR 24 point. My printer driver is postscript. Part of my company name is LANTEC so I did a quick test and tried to print that one word in TNR 24 point and it looks terrible. Zooming in on the text also looks terrible (by the way I have it set to sharp and I have also tried smooth). This is driving me crazy. I have also looked at the print driver which is set to print graphics in 600 X 600 dpi.
I did a quick search and only found one document that is close to this problem. It said something about 200 dpi and 72 dpi. What settings are these reffering too?
Yesterday I installed Photoshop Elements 11 and everything worked great except I was unable to add text to pictures. This morning however the quick, guided, and expert toolbar is gone and I am only able to edit pictures in the quick mode. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled and that did not work.
I am trying to place pictures into my paragraph text so that the text wraps around the picture (like you can in Word).? Can anyone let me know how to do this in Photoshop 7.0 for Windows??
All I can find is how to wrap text around object (i.e. word on a coffee cup image itself) or putting the actual picture as fill for the font.?
how to do this? I have included a PDF of a sample of what I'm trying to do.
When I put text into photoshop CS3, and then zoom into it, the edges are all fuzzy and jaggy.
I was of the opinion that all text were vectors in PS and so the edges should be smooth as. Unfortunately, the text prints out all jaggedy on my laser printer also just like it looks on the screen. I've also played with the anti-alias options somewhat. Obviously when I do this in Illustrator, it is spot on vector, but not in PS.
What am I doing wrong here? When I convert the text into a shape, sure... the nice vector lines appear around text. But shouldn't the text be vector straight up when I create a text layer in PS, and then I should be able to rasterize it when adding filter effects etc?
Is there any way for me to work with my text in Photoshop in sharp vector-resolution so that it's sharp at all resolutions? Let me describe a test I've done:
I open up a A4 300 ppi resolution document in Photoshop and simply type the word "Photoshop" at 72pt size Myriad Pro font. The anti-aliasing is set to 'Crisp'. Firstly, it doesn't look the best as it is on the screen with the edges 'jaggy'. Secondly, I hit print and it tells me I'm printing to a non-postscript printer (i.e my laser which I know IS postscript!!). When it prints out, it looks crap just like it did on my screen (edges jaggy).
I then open up a simple A4 document in Illustrator, type the word "Photoshop" at the same size text as outlined above. Looks great on screen OBVIOUSLY because it's vector-based and is sharp at all resolutions. I hit print, it it spits out the document perfectly printed as it is on screen.
I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this with Photoshop, but my text looks garbage only when using Photoshop. Not with any other program out there (ie. MS Word, Publisher, Illustrator, Serif Drawplus, Serif Pageplus, Serif Photoplus....)
I own Adobe Premiere ELements 11 and Adobe Photosho Elements 11, Nikon D90 for stills and Canon HD 53x for digital video. When I create a show and burn a DVD and play it on the TV the stills are so fuzzy it hurts my eyes to lool at them. The video segments are crystal clear and sharp. Once in awhile the still photos come out clear.
I have seen this phenomenon in CAD for years, since I started on R2004. Text sometimes seems fuzzy when you copy and paste from another drawing. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all, other times it's unavoidable.
Whenever I have text, its always fuzzy or pixelated, its really annoying.I have antialiasing selected, I have changed the dpi, made sure it was at 100% and whatever else I could think of.Also, I think the background is also a bit fuzzy, so that's why I think it is the dpi or something like that.But it is always not 100% sharp.I have attached a copy of the back cover. Its the same for all though.
I have read every tutorial that I can find online, and nothing is working. I am using Text+.
I need the text to be as sharp as it is in Publisher, Word, etc. The text that I'm getting in Paint.NET is so fuzzy that I can't use it in my work.
I have attached a sample - the top paragraph was created in Paint.net and pasted into Paint. The word "strategies" below was created in Paint, and it looks a lot better. I would rather not have to create all of my text in Paint (trying to get it sized and formatted correctly), and then past it as images into Paint.net.
I'm trying to put text on top of a picture but when I move the text on top of the picture it looks like its underneath the picture instead of on top making the text color look like grey compared to the black that I want.
I do a little wedding photography and like to give the married couple a disc with all the un-edited pictures of the day for them to choose in the comfort of their own homes. The problem is i want to put text layer written 'SAMPLE' across each picture and then flatten each one before saving it to stop any editing on their behalf. Do i really have to go through this for each one (usually over 100 pics) or is there a quicker route or even alternative to this?
I've got a JPEG file that I want to enlarge in PhotoShop except that when I enlarge it, the outline becomes all fuzzy. How do I preserve the crispness of the image?
i made a letterhead logo to use in Microsoft Word. When I insert the graphic, a jpeg, the font looks fuzzy and i tried altering it by making it 'smooth' 'crisp' etc...
I am planning to do a report on a subject of 2 countries Thailand and China. I have found a nice image with nice font on the internet and I wish to do it in the same manner but do not know how(especially concerned about curved text and flag pattern). Here is a picture I want to recreate but with another background and different text.
The font has already been identified as Falkner Pro (RMU) on myfont.
I am trying to create a document in Word that has "boxes" of text, peripheral to the main content, scattered through the text body. First, I want these areas of text to be circles and I want the text to wrap around them like it does the ovals you can create with the Word drawing tools.
The next thing I want is for the text inside these areas to conform to the internal shape of the circle.
My 1st problem is that any circle I create in photoshop, when inserted into the word document, has a square bounding box that the text wraps to. I can't seem to figure out how to save the photoshop picture so that it only contains the circular graphic, although I don't know if it is photoshop applying the square background or Word when I import the picture.
My 2nd problem is trying to fit the text within the graphic so that it fills it, wrapping to the inside border without manually adjusting every line and word. If there is some automated step I can use to achieve this I would love to know what it is.
lets say i have a picture. I want to add text to it so it fits right into the background rather than having an artificial white border around the text. How do i do that?
Also, how do i remove text without deleting parts of the background as well, and how do i enter text so that it matches the text that is used in the picture?
Lets say i have a picture with the word "TEST" in it, with a certain font, size, color, etc. I want to add additional text with the exact same font, size, etc.
I have set up one new album in Organizer, but cannot add pictures. The Import button is greyed out, and I can find nothing in the toolbars that is not also greyed out.
I have taken pictures before in RAW, but all of the sudden the program is unable to open such pictures. I have added light room 5 but I want to take advantage of the layer sistem on elements.
In organizer when I select a picture in the thumbnail view, it first appears fuzzy, then after a second or two, it crisps up. This used to happen with PSE 3 and when I upgraded several months ago to PSE 6, it stopped. Now it seems to be back again.
Does this delay have something to do with the quantity of pictures or memory configuration, or what?
I have a one year old Dell Vostro 1510 with 4 meg memory.
I am using 7.0. I have this ad that I will be running for my business. when I print it the text is a little pixelate/fuzzy. Not sure how I can go about fixing this. It's not too bad but bad enough. The ad is for a retirement community and I'm concerned with the seniors having issue with reading the text. This ad is going in a news paper. I ran a differant one last year and had the same issue. Even though the message got across to the public, the ad still was not up to how I wanted it.
what if I scan a article which has both pictures & text? Can I use descreen for only the picture part or do I have to scan the whole article without descreen and afterwards find a way to deal with the moire effect? Or what is the best way to do it?
And then some random Qs:
I'm not anyway professional, I just have some articles I want to scan and make a scrapbook. Is InDesign best tool for creating the digital scrapbook when I also want to print it for some of my friends? Or are there some better tools?
From what I read, did I understand right that 300dpi is enough for my pictures/text scans (like I said I also wanna make a printed version of my scrapbook)?
