Photoshop :: PDF Edges Become Jaggy After Saving
Oct 28, 2005
I've saved a high res psd (300dpi) as pdf. I flattened the image before PDFing and used a JPG compression of 10. If I open the pdf from a browser, the browser version of acrobat does strange things to the image. Looks great until you scroll, then the image and text become very edgy jaggy. BUT, if I open acrobat and open the pdf, it looks great. Has it something to do with the browser version of acrobat? Is there some PDF preference or option that I'm missing?
The file also prints very well.
Looks bad if opened from a browser, good if you save it to your desktop, open Acrobat Reader and open the file.

Left - Marquee Tool > Transform > Skew
Middle - Liquify filter with "use graphic processors" selected
Right - Liquify filter without (same result)
Image above is at 200% zoom
All Transform tools cause jaggy edge. I've only tried these tools and Liquify for the last month and a half.

Uninstalled, re-installed Windows, Photoshop, graphic card - Evga 560 ti - drivers (all versions). No prevail.

CS5 works flawlessly on this system. These tools also work fine on my laptop which use Radeon HD3470.

I have a document in publisher 07 with a photo of a product in it made from Photoshop CS3 saved as a PNG24. No matter how close I zoom in Publisher everything looks fine. When I create a pdf in acrobat using standard or high quality setting there shows white jagged edges aroung the photo. I have tried saving in a multitude of ways but cannot get those stupid jaggy edges to go away. Is it Photoshop, Acrobat, Publisher?

I tried the following in Illustrator,
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've been working on a layout in photoshop and used the pen tool quite alot to make my shapes. But the problem is when I fill them they look all jagged (or something like that :/ ). I dont really know how to deal with this, but I just want them to look normal without that pixelate border

I made an image for the Ironshop comp. and I made it just a tiny bit too big. I figured out the hard way that you also get quality loss when you scale an image down. My specs are 4454px. x 3345px., 61" x 46", and 72 ppi. I understand that my image should be 800px. x 600px., and Ive tried to up the pixels per inch, but it ends up very pixelated and jaggy.

I have a photo of a white bus, and I need to put a banner onto the side of the bus. The banner has a solid black rectangular background. After using the Vanishing Point filter to make the banner look like it has the same perspective as the bus, the edges of the banner are jaggy. If I use the Free Transform tool to manually distort the banner into the right perspective, the edges of the banner are smooth. Is there a way to smooth out or antialias the edges when using Vanishing Point?

When text is selected with the text tool it looks nice and sharp with good edges, but when I click off the text tool and just read text on the page it is all jaggy and fuzzy looking. Then I select with the text tool it looks sharp again. Makes the page layout look bad and ugly to look at. Wasn't this way in X3. Is this typical of X5 or is there a setting change needed? Doesn't matter what font I use.

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.
Â
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 have started editing photos using the Photo Fix Options in Instant Fix. I have then switched to Photo Editor to fine tune my edited picture. When I use save or save as, to save the edited picture both the edited and original appear in the files. If I start in in Photo Editor and save there is an option to uncheck that reads "Save in version set with Original" However I am more comfortable with beginning in Instant Fix and then switching to photo editor. For some reason when I go to save after switching from Instant fix to Photo editor the uncheck feature is no longer available. step by step instructions to save revised photo afterusing Instant Fix first then Photo Editor.

If I create a file in Photoshop without coming from Lightroom or duplicate a file in Photoshop that I opened from Lightroom, is there a way to save the new file from Photoshop to the desired directory on my local hard drive and simultaneously have it added to my Lightroom catalog? Or do I need to save the file then import the file into the catalog? I'm working with CS6.

In my photo retouching work I very often cut out a figure to place on a different background. Usually I have a feathered or aliased edge to blend with the new background which works nicely. Sometimes I duplicate that figure so that I can try some shading,cloning etc without damaging the layer below. If I like the results I usually merge the two layers, problem is the top image seems to grow a bit or darken on the edges and I lose any nice feathering I have dome on the bottom layer.

Is there any way to avoid having a brush be cut off by the document edge when you place it? It's annoying when you want to move it that it's been cut off.
I know one way is to place it in the center when you stamp it, and then move it - but that doesn't work if the brush is larger than the document. Only other thought I had would be to stamp into a larger document and then move to the smaller document - but if I do that, I may as well just work with .png files.

I'm going through this tutorial: URL....On step 10 it says to go to Filter>Stylize>Glowing Edges......I can't find it there! Is it not in photoshop CS6? This is especially frustrating because this is one of the most important parts of the tutorial and I've been working on this for hours only to find that Glowing Edges is missing.I'm using the free 30-day trial.

I've been using Photoshop CS5 to edit my photography for a while but have never bothered with masks until just recently. I watched this video and figured it would be fairly easy but I'm still having quite a bit of trouble getting results that look even halfway decent; I can never get the edges right. I've tried playing around with all the "Refine Edge" settings but nothing really makes it look realistic and un-manipulated, so I figured I'd ask here in case I'm missing something or doing something wrong.
To start out with I figured I'd try replacing the background of one of my photos with the background in another one of my photos, in this case some snowy branches. Here's a screen shot of the original photo (with the birds/foreground roughly selected with the Quick Selection tool):
And here it is after making that selection into a mask:
As you can see, some big chunks of three of the birds are missing and the edges are pretty obvious in a lot of spots. This is ultimately what I'm trying to fix.
A bit off topic, but also problematic are the gaps around the birds' legs where the red in the background shows through...not exactly sure what to do about those. In addition, I find the stripped, broken end of the branch sticking up in the middle of the picture to be a pretty big eyesore but haven't found a convincing way of removing it.
Anyway, here's a closer look at the edges:
When I check "Smart Radius" and increase the Radius size to about 40 pixels I get something resembling this:
...which is not really an improvement over the original IMO. I also tried painting in the radius manually along the edges of the bird's head using the Refine Radius tool but this only created more fuzziness around the edges. Increasing the "Shift Edge" value created even more fuzz. Using the Erase Refinements tool made the edges too sharp and bits of the bird started disappearing again, making it look similar to how it was originally.
Here's another example of the same thing on the outline of the third bird in the picture:
How it looked originally and...
...how it looked after messing around with the radius/refine radius tool. It's a slight improvement over the original but bits of the bird are still missing and there's that fuzz around the edges that I don't know how to get rid of.
By the way, here's a download link to the full-size original two photos in a zip file: Background and Foreground.zip

Is there any way to get an application of a brush with Wet Edges to absorb seemlessly into a previously applied area of the brush with Wet Edges? As far as I can see, if you paint a bit, say in Pattern mode, stop painting, and then start to apply the brush again, the paint visibly overlaps the previously applied colour. This makes it impossible to easily create brushed watercolour washes without keeping your brush in contact with the paper (in my case a digital tablet) all the time; if you lift it off for a second, it applies a new coat of paint (or pattern) over whatever is there already. What I'd like is to be able to get a wet edges brush to meld seamlessly into a previously applied area of paint (or pattern).
Is this possible to achieve, please?

When I want to delete the background and just have the object or person in the picture, I use the magic wand tool to delete the background then clean up with the eraser. BUT the outline of the object always looks jaggedy. This doesn't happen when I use photographs with the white background.
Is there some sort of trick I'm missing? Or do I just need more practice with the eraser tool?

I have a high quality but small jpg picture that I need to put onto my website, the background colour is blue.
I want to blur all 4 edges of the picture so when I put it on the website page the background shows through with a nice faded effect into full opacity of the picture in the centre of the image.
I'm sure its pretty straightforward, but I can't work it out. I played around with the marquee tool but couldn't delete the outer edges like I had hoped.
I'm pretty sure it will need to become a .png of .gif to show the transparency but I'm worried about the quality then too.

I'm trying to make the edges sharp, when I use the Rectangle tool there is a 1px line on the edges which I think is suppose to blend the image to the background, but I don't want this 1px line, I want the edges to be sharp. How do I switch this off.
Using CS2, and I'm sure this is a default setting because I remember reading something about it in the book but now I can't find it.
