If you look at my website, [URL] ... you'll see that the title in the header is kind of fuzzy around the edges of the letters. I created it in Photoshop, and I cannot seem to get the edge's sharp and clear no matter what I do in Photoshop. It also doesn't seem to make any difference if I save it as a .PNG or a .jpg. I have tried re-doing it from scratch several times, and it doesn't seem to make any difference. I've created other header titles in Photoshop that have come out clear and sharp and I haven't done anything any differently.
I'm making a map and wish to type the name of a few major areas with big letters - but the letters should not cover up too much, ie I'm hoping to have only the outer edges visible of the individual letters and the inside of the letters transparent.
So basically, I created coloured text inside Adobe Illustrator and however much I zoom into the text, the text always appears to have smooth edges. Once I click on 'Save For Web', the edge all around the text becomes rough and aliased. I chose GIF and PNG, but it still happens. The text is on a transparency background. The same problem applies to images when I am creating a logo.
I thought this was going to be a piece of cake in the new Illustrator CC but I am having a few unanticipated issues:)I need to create some vector tire images with different edges, such as the top one in the image below.So I thought this would be SO easy by simply creating a pattern brush in Illustrator and then using that for the outside. So I created the shape you see in the middle image below and created a pattern brush with this shape.I then created an ellipse and used the new brush for the outline.
All of those are open paths...it has taken the shape and applied it to the outline but has kept each shape separate, so I am not able to fill the circle in black. I could of course go in and manually join each little corner separately where the little shapes meet but this will take FOREVER with all the images I have to do.
I'm trying to snap a head with it's neck with the merge edge tool, but somewhere along the way, the edges lost there border edge characteristics and now I can't merge the edges. Is there a way to make the edges back to the way they were?
Is there a way to make the letters overlap each other? I basically just want the outer glow effect to be around each letter individually instead of the word/sentence as a whole. The previous letter overlapping the following..
I designed my wedding invitations using photoshop CS3. They came out great. However, when I want to print them the lettering comes out blurry. And if I save as a PDF the lettering comes out really crisp but, some of the letters lose their color ....
replacing a letter. I've got this image and i would like to place H instead of K. But when I open it, i'm not able to do anything because it is kind of protected.
I have been using CS2, and when I use the color picker to choose a color, the hex number is in lowercase. i.e # 00ccff, but in CS and 7 if you were to choose a color everything would be in caps. i.e. # 00CCFF,
I am working on this, and I typed this arabic word in photoshop, normally with other fonts i have no problem typing, I don't normally have this problem with any other fonts, but with this one, everytime I try and type,
The one on top is normal, the one on bottom I tried messing with the horizontal spacing but it just shows a white space where they are supposed to connect. Any help would he really appreciated. Also, This is the first time this happened with me, so I don't think I need the ME version because I do this all the time, just with different fonts,
Im using cs5.5 and need to print something 4' x 8'. Its mostly letters as well, but the problem is that the letters get really pixelated when I make them really big.
I am fairly new to Photoshop and am using CS2. When I use a web header with white letters on a red background, it appears that the red has bled into the white letters. It doesn't make any difference in I save the file as a gif or jpeg. This takes place even when the file is saved at 100% quality.
If you have read my previous topic on my 'jzrith' account, then you may all know that I'm just starting out as an amateur and unprofessional graphic designer. However, I've met a band who is looking for a banner for their site, and they don't have much money, so in exchange for money, I asked for publicity and some shout outs from them when they get the chance to give some away.
They're looking for a banner that probably most people pay for it to do. They want a banner that has the size of a sig. They want their band picture in the background, and the animation of a blue guitar smashing into something, and that smashing ripples a quake, and that quake ripples letters from something and it turns into the letters 'one last trip'.
Their request was very vague, and my photoshop is limited. However, I took the request upon thinking some one here will help me generate this banner for the band. It will give me good publicity for my skills, but I also need help in making this.
What I'm really thinking hard of doing is the smashing of the blue guitar and that generates a 'quake' and the quake smashes into something that turns into the band's name's letters. I have no idea on how to do it because I have only some experience in Adobe Imageready. I'm not even sure if I need Imageready for this, but Macromedia Flash!
I don't know if I am in the right forum, but I have a title...want to angle each letter in it (45 degrees, then 135 degrees, then 45 again..etc.) staggered. How the heck do I do that?
hi, i'm working on a project and the client would like to have a logo that has light that is shining through the letter forms. i was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how i could go by doing this. i tried using the lighting effects in the render but it still doesn't have the effect of light that is passing through the type.
I've always been stumped with how to do this so thought I'd post it here. I've typed up some text and then rasterized it. Then I created a blank layer above it, highlighted the text below, then made the blank layer active and painted a shiny gleam over on the layer. See below:
However, when I move the gleam layer, it doesn't just float over and within the letters below it. I obviously know why and that's because the gleam layer is above the text layer:
So basically what I want to be able to do is when move that gleam layer, I want the gleam to float over the logo but stay within the letters so it looks like the logo has a shine over it. If I knew how to do this, I could create animated GIFs and even export the files into Premiere or whatever.
