Photoshop :: How To Improve Terrible Results From Type
Jan 28, 2013
I have a blog on which I need to add type to each and every photos for copyright purposes. trouble is that the post photos are maxed out @ 144 dpi, and thus I use only sizes 6-8 for my fonts.
The reason for the small font size is proportion. I don't want to have giant fonts for small-sized photos. I've attached a sample before rasterization and after illustraintg the use of this fiunction is next-to-useless. I've tried different permutations and combinations font,font style, crisp,smooth, shar, etc, and the results are always the same - bad.

I have a scan of a couple-hundred year old document. The background is light brown due to age. How can I best make the browned areas white and preserve/improve the black type? Getting a white background by playing with levels, brightness / contrast seems to result in worse black type.

I typeset long documents which often include several hundred labeled photos and illustrations. Much of our art is created off-site, but we label the figures in-house. In the past, this has been done in Illustrator, but I prefer to do it in InDesign.
Exporting an InDesign document as an .eps results in fractured type. Opening the .eps in Illustrator, a single word is now comprised of random groups of letters, and some of the characters are outlines. In the Export EPS dialog box, I've tried every combination of options under "Embed Fonts" and "Data Format." Is this a bug, or are .eps files created from InDesign not intended to be fully functional in Illustrator?
As an aside, InDesign files placed within InDesign documents often cause the program to crash when exporting to PDF. Perhaps that is a subject for another post, but it's basically the only reason I export InDesign files as .eps (so I can re-link the offending .indd file to the .eps and export to PDF). I don't really want to open InDesign-created .eps files in Illustrator -- I'd rather simply place the .indd as a link -- but sometimes it's expedient, and I'm curious as to why the type becomes fragmented.

I thought Id use a more captivating title than my previous How can I speed up PSCS3 (PS10.01) ? thread as Im now convinced that CS3 is seriously defective and wonder why Adobe does not take this problem seriously? As previously stated, tasks that I can perform easily with CS2 will bog down CS3 to the point of being useless.
I started with an Intel DP965LT motherboard with QuadCore Processor, 4G RAM, Windows XP-Pro, and very fast hard disks. There have been claims in this forum that some users are not experiencing performance problems and that it must be the result of a hardware issue on my end. So I swapped out the RAM with various brands loaned to me by my local custom PC builder. I reinstalled the system more than once. I changed the motherboard to a more expensive D975XBX2. I repeated the test on every PC Ive had access to and the SAME PROBLEM exists.
Tonight I just returned got back from the local computer shop where they let me install the 30day trial version of PS10 on a pretty good system theyre building for a client who does hi-end 3D work.
Tyan S5396A2NRF Motherboard
Dual Xeon 5420 processors (1333MHz bus, 12MB cache)
4GB Quad-Channel fully bufferred RAM
GeForce 8800 GTS Video w/ 640MB RAM
PC Power + Cooling 610 EPS psu
Western Digital 320 AAKS 7200 hard disk
The result: The SAME pitiful performance!! I performed my little test: Opened an RGB image 20x30" @ 300ppi, started placing a few 43k images and after placing the third one Photoshop CS3 slowed to a crawl, there were delays before the move would execute, if I quickly moved the layers with Auto Select Layers enabled it resulted in Photoshop not responding after 10-15 moves and would take 20-40 seconds before Photoshop would recover. The scratch disk grew to 12gb and the Windows Task Manager showed that the system was barely being taxed.

I upgraded to Maverick last fall which caused my PSE11 to slow way down so I recently purchased PSE 12 thinking it would be compatible to Maverick. At this point it is not. Everything works even slower than it did with PSE 11. Is there a patch or an upgrade or a procedure that will improve the work flow speed?

I have a few images that are essentially line drawings (B&W) that I want to make larger for presentation (i.e., click for larger size) on our new Website. The current size is not large enough.
If I increase pixel sizes, the quality is terrible. For example, see:
[URL]....on our 'test Website'. [Please note Website is work-in-progress.]
Settings *jpg: Width - 270; Height - 138; Scale styles - Y; Constrain proportions - Y; Resample image - Bicubic
If I increase *jpg to Width - 450; Height - 230, I get UGLY.
When I Save for Web as *gif, I change Width - 450; Height - 230, it still appears fuzzy, although not as much.

I have 2 problems that I'm trying to solve.
1) on the attached, how do I produce the effect of the shaky light on the brick floor that can be seen on the 2 lights in background behind the swimming pool (tried shadow effects option)
2) the fire on the left hand side (in front) still looks too superimposed, even though I've tried some of the things I was advised to do on a similar post (adjust vibrant mid tones, use burn tool etc).

I have tried this feature with mixed results. Scaning 2,3 or 4 pictures of different sizes, changing angles using an HP8600 Multifunction device. I have tried both scannig using HP software and directly with Elements at 200, 300 and 600 dpi. Elemets will sometime split off one of the pics but is not reliably sepatating them all. What ca I do to improve my results? I have a lot of pics to scan and really don't want to do them one at a time.

how to improve the box resizing tools ('S' & 'M'):
1) the shift key currently only constrains proportions when dragging the corners. make it also constrain proportions when dragging edges (keep the opposite edge-center box in place).
2) can you add an 'Alt'-key modifier that fixes the center of the selection, instead of the opposite corner/edge?

Here are some of our samples. We are just starting out. We would like to know if these would be considered professional enough? we aren't using global illumination because our computer can't handle that setting.
Also, see the wood texture? How to improve the wood texture? i think it looks great, we just need to make the grain more subtle.

I've recently come up againast a wall in Illustrator. I'm producing a large, detailed pie chart, and the fine slices aren't being shown accurately.
For example, if you prodoce a simple 3-slice pie chart using: 99.5, 0.1, 0.4 .... the smallest slice will be lost. It looks as though Illustrator will not show anything under a quarter of a per cent.

The plug-in does not retain the orientation of Diagonals on Editable Poly objects. This could have an impact on modified UV coordinates. Refer to the Online Help for more information. The following objects are affected: -Tube001
So, how to check, maintain or improve those diagonals? and what they mean "diagonals"?
