How do you do borders for a web page nav bar in photoshop? I use edit->stroke, but it looks funny, its too light and blurry. I just want a thin sharp white border around the tables.

She wants me to make these prints look like the old fashioned white-bordered with serrated edges. After scanning the negs and before saving them as jpeg files in photoshop...can someone please tell me an easy way to put 1/4" white borders around each print?

But when i put that man on another dark background, i can see a very thin white line around the man, like it was "cut" from another image (which is true...) how do i get rid of this white line around him?
I tried to focus and delete it manually but it is an endless work. I attached the image, do you see the white stripe around the man?

I have checked my settings from PSPx3 with PSPx4 and everything seems the same when using the paintbrush tool but yet every time no matter the hardness level of the brush i end up with a white border on my texture .. NOT visible inside the program itself but becomes visible once I apply the texture to avatar.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI create all of my lineart for illustrations, in Adobe Illustrator. I use the pen tool in combination with the line width tool to create line weight. Once I have completed all of the line work, I select everything and Expand. This results in not having fills for teh areas of the illustration which need to be colored.
From there, what I do is select everything > livepaint > make. I then fill in each area with a base color, using the live paint bucket tool. Once completed, I again select everything > expand. This leaves me fills that I can select indivually to apply gradients and work with directly.
This process works great until I expand the live paint group. After expanding, there is a very thin white border everywhere that two seperate colors meet. This only happens after expanding, it does not happen when it is still a live paint group. I have tried every option in the expand window, and get the same result.
I have exported the completed work in several formats ( .jpg, eps, .png ) and the lines are still there.
I tried to use the Sharp tool but nothing happens, the brushes only leave on the photo a mark type, I read the tutorial by Adobe about it, it doesnt seem to work,.what other tutorials are there? that are simple and free.I restoring photos.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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.
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Not sure what I've done to my Pen Tool, but since it's only feathered not sharp. Looked through Anti Alias / Refine Edge / Brush type but with no success.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
i regulary scan documents with text but find text looks muddy when printed .blocky edges .ive played around with unsharp mask but no joy. if i input text through photoshop 7 its nice and sharp yet scanned text remains poor .played around with scanner using different resolutions and input formats ie colour doc . line art etc tried abbyy finereader but waste of time (need graphics in background)
View 4 Replies View Relatednormally 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 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI notice that pdfs, the imagery comes out soft. any way within making pdfs that they can be sharp? I don't think a setting like that exist.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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?
Is there a way to create a curve in the curves dialog box with points of non-differentiability (i.e. sharp corners) such as the following:
I was almost positive that there was a way to convert a point added to a curve in the Curves dialog to be a sharp corner, but I can't seem to locate it now.
when using the bevel and emboss tool in the layer style menu, to make a sharp inner corner? I was working on creating a frame using hard chisel bevel - it makes the outside of the frame have a sharp corner, but the inside is rounded. See sample image at: URL....
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a panorama using 5 images. I did this 6 months ago using Photoshop CS5 and it produced a nice sharp image like my originals were. Using CS6 it is not sharp at all, to the point of being quite useless. If I can't figure this one out I am just going to go back to CS5.
both panorama's were created from the same 5 images, in the second one I just wanted to make it a bit warmer because the white balance in the first image doesn't accurate reflect the colours that I saw. The second one created in CS6 looks really bad. And are there any solutions besides scrapping CS6 in favour of CS5?
is there any way of sharpening images that are small and have been made bigger ....

View 3 Replies View RelatedI took high resolution pictures of some products to put on my website. But when I reduce them in Photoshop to height 200 or 300, the text is no longer readable.
I want the same sharpness and readability as in the high res picture. I do not mind cropping it as long as I can show the text clearly.
I am using PS Elements 11 with raw converter 7.3, processing .DNG files from a Samsung GX-10 on a PC.I notice that, despite sharpening the image in the raw converter, that the preview (F11) in the organizer is not sharp.
However, even more annoying is the fact that the blurriness continues if I export the DNG from the organizer to a new JPEG, even if I set the quality at Maximum (12). The export and preview seem to be ignoring the sharpness I have set in the raw converter.If I open the .DNG in the editor and then save the file as a JPEG straight away, all my sharpening remains intact, and the final JPEG is fine.
I have tried using setting the 'process' in the raw converter to '2010', and also tried setting the JPEG preview size to 'Full Size' in the RAW converter save options. Neither of these seems to make any difference.
For my normal workflow I edit the .DNG files using the raw converter, using the PSE editor only when necessary. I then use the organizer to export the .DNG files to JPEGs for printing, emailing or whatever. This workflow does not give me the results I expect any more.
It looks like I am going to have to open every processed RAW image in the editor and then save the files as JPEGs individually. Also the organizer preview does not give me an accurate preview of the quality of the processed file.
I have an imported image that needs a 50px black frame with hard edges on the _outside_ of the image.I have found solutions but they do not have mitered corners.I cannot use the canvas size to accomplish this as the canvas contains other objects.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have Photoshop CS5. When stroking type, I can't get the edges/corners sharp (see attachment)- is there a way to do this? Possible in CS6? I believe possible in Illustrator, but cheaper and easier for me to do it in Photoshop if possible (I don't have any version of Illustrator), and I won't have to learn a new program.
