Photoshop :: Sharp Text Outlines

Feb 1, 2005

I have a friend still using PS 5.5, OK, OK it's me. How would I create a SHARP outline around text or anything else. I've tried outerglow, stroke and expanding the selection. The problem is, wherever the font or shape has a sharp or 90 degree angle, the outline rounds off at that point.

Oct 16, 2012

I'm playing with the 3D tools in Photoshop CS5 Extended for a friend. He provided an .obj file of a tool part and it opens just fine as a complex, shaded object.

Question: Is there a way to generate simple outlines of the object and export those outlines as paths to Illustrator?

Photoshop :: Sharp Text For The Web

Jul 20, 2009

I like to put some (small) text on a simple image to use it on the web, but the text looks blurry. I've tried all the anti-aliasing options, but none of them looks sharp. Pixelfonts do not seem to look any better.Is there any way to make small text look sharp in Photoshop, or should I use Illustrator e.g.? I'm just a beginner in PHotoshop and I have no clue how to solve this problem.

Photoshop :: Creating Sharp Text

May 16, 2008

I want to create some sharp text in my image, but can't figure out how to do it despite lots of searching.

Here is what it currently looks like:

Those letters look terrible and I'd like it to be straight, sharp lines.

I noticed if I use "Convert To Shape" it outlines the letters exactly the way I want them to look:

But, when I select the shape, it just selects the nasty pixels behind it, not this border.

Photoshop :: PDF Creates Text And Images That Are Not Sharp

Jul 15, 2013

I know that Photoshop is not the premier pdf creation software. I do have InDesign as well, but I'm much more familiar and comfortable with Photoshop (I have the CC versions of both) so I prefer to use it as my design and layout tool.
 
However, when I save as a pdf the resultant pdf file is blurry for images and text, not horribly so, but not sharp and clear as I would like. My pdf files are for the web and emailing so I need to keep the file size in check, but even when I up the PS resolution to 300psi it still is not as clear as I would like. Still blurry.
 
What do you Photoshop experts out there do to produce the sharpest pdf possible? Is it even possible using Photoshop only or do you have to use InDesign or Acrobat Pro to get the clarity and shapness?

Photoshop :: Outlines On 3d Block Text

Jun 28, 2009

I am trying to recreate a 'retro' style postcard, with 3d block lettering.  I was able to create the 3d text, but I'm got stumped when it came to getting an outline to run along all of the 'lines' of the text and shadow (I'm trying to make it look like old hand drawn block letters).  I'm attaching an example of the look I'm going for, as well as where I got to before I was stumped. As you can see, I was able to get the outline for each letter to go around the entire letter and shadow, but I want each of the 'lines' to go around the letter, the shadow, and the lines connecting the two (like it is in the example).

Illustrator :: Convert Text To Outlines

Jul 5, 2013

I am an invitation designer. I use my own post script printer for printing.  I get a better print quality when I convert text to outlines, but I was wondering .. is there any difference if I convert text to outlines by using Type --> Create outlines or if I do it from the Overprint and Transparency Flattener Options window in the advanced print settings?

CorelDRAW X6 :: Outlines On Text Or Objects Are Notched

Mar 12, 2013

Recently any outlines that I put on Text or Objects has been coming out "Notched".

I cannot be certain when this started happening, but i have tested files I have created in X6, saved down to X3 and printed from a different computer (running X3) with the same result.

Even PDFs created from this installation of X6 have this outline issue.

I have uninstalled my printer and reinstalled to see if that was the issue (HP Color LaserJet 3700). This same issue also occured on a different HP Color Laserjet 4650. These are both using PCL 5 drivers, as installed by Windows 7.

I have also tried different "Line Caps" settings, but no luck.

 This nex screen shot is a scan of the printout of the above file. as you can see the text outlines and box outlines are notched.

 This is a screen cap of the settings i have used, although it doesnt matter if I use, behind fill or not, the result is the same.

Illustrator :: Text Getting Converted To Outlines When Saved As EPS 10

Mar 12, 2013

I am having a weird problem with some files I'm getting from a third party. They are created in CS4, then saved to EPS v.10. I need the text in the file to remain live, but every time it gets saved to EPS 10, it gets outlined. URL....
 
I have been able to verify that ligatures is sometimes the culprit, but I think there's something in the way this one person is creating the files that's causing the problem. I've opened hundreds of EPS 10 files from other users that have live type. Yet when I take this one person's original AI file and down-save it, the text gets outlined.
 
It's a very simple file - no transparency or other red flags that I can see. At first I thought maybe it was just the font, but I have used the same font in tests, and down-saved to v.10, with no text outlining.

Illustrator :: Warp Text And Preserve Outlines?

Feb 25, 2014

So I have text that I would like warp in an Arc. I will be cutting this on a plotter. WHen I use the envelope distort the envelope blocks my text in outline mode. If I go to Effect>Arc the warp only occurs in preview but the outlines do not change as the plotter would see it.
 
I'm sure there is some way to warp text into an arc and have the outlines remain visible and warped for the plottter to cut, no?

Xara :: Background Always Has Blueish Outlines Pixels Around Text

Sep 6, 2011

I'm really enjoying Xara Designer 6 these days except for this one problem that is popping up in all my exported images. all of the text in my images are surrounded by intermittent blue pixels which makes the text less crisp or even muddy.

The McDaily Deals text on the following facebook page is an example. Zoom in on the image to see what I'm talking about URL....

Illustrator Scripting :: Creating Outlines From Text Using JavaScript In CS5?

Feb 18, 2012

Is there a way to select all of the text on all artboards and CREATE OUTLINES using Javascript? The text that Adobe provides for scripting has this option for saving to FXGs which is preserveTextPolicy or something similar, but I need the same type of solution for saving as an AI file or as a command before the save. I'm currently working in windows, but am writing this script for use on a MAC. If there isn't an internal way of doing this through Javascript?  I would imagine it would be possible through Applescript since it can access the application's GUI, but I'm not sure. A javascript solution would be preferable, but any solution would work at this point.

Illustrator :: Placing Image Inside Text But Want Letters To Have Outlines?

Sep 13, 2013

I'm trying to create a logo whose letters have an image in them - which I've got figured out (turning letters to outlines, creating clipping mask with image). The trouble is, once the image is inside the letters, I can't figure out how to then give the letters a thin stroke outline. Is this possible? The image I've placed is high contrast black and white, so when I create the clipping mask, large chunks of the letters disappear.

Photoshop :: Sharp Edges

Nov 17, 2008

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.

Photoshop :: Sharp Lines

Dec 19, 2003

Maybe this is something utterly simple that I have totally missed, but I just don't get it. everything I make seems to have a feathered edge... thats bad when I'm trying to make something with an absolutely crisp edge. The attached file shows whats hapening. It only really matters on the level where you can see individual rows of pixels, but that is where I prefer to work.

Photoshop :: Sharp Angled Lines

Feb 19, 2004

normally i do webdesign and other 72 dpi stuff, but i had to make a logo with straight lines but at about 87deg angle. so just off square at 300dpi.

even at 300, i still couldn't get them really sharp and clean.

i tried the pen and node mode, but even that seemed to have anti aliased the angle a bit.

what do i have to do - perhaps 600 dpi and then reduce?

I have designed a small gif motif for a webpage. I used paths which I then filled so it would be sharp. However, when I reduce it to the size I would like on the web page (about 45 pixels) , the edges look ragged. I can't seem to get rid of the bitmapped look.
