Photoshop :: Anti-aliasing Tutorial?

Nov 26, 2008

I'm copying some vector art (monochromatic flats) from Illustrator and pasting into Photoshop as Smart Object. I am making selections from the flats to create individual paths to color however the edges aren't lining up. I end up with gaps between the edges and the lines are jagged.

Can someone please explain anti-aliasing? I am following a few video tutorials, one is saying turn it on and the other says to turn it off.

Photoshop :: Getting Rid Of Anti-aliasing

Mar 16, 2006

I scanned some text hand-written with a magic marker. i use threshold to get the artwork plain black and white, select the white with the magic wand, select similar and then delete. i'm left with the solid black image with crisp edges. i have marquee tools, lasso tools, and magic wand set to anti-aliasing off. feather i set to 0.

when i rotate the image to make it level, the image gets anti-aliased. to try to correct that i select the pixels of the image with command click on the layer, delete that layer and make a new layer. then i just have shape of the image created by the selection tool. when i use fill to try to fill it in, the image is anti-aliased. all i want to do is fiil in exactly inside the shape that i have selected.

Photoshop :: Controlling Anti-aliasing

Mar 5, 2013

The Text tool has options for anti-aliasing - Strong, Crisp, etc. Is there anything similar when filling paths?

I am filling two paths with a common edge; when the Anti-alias box is un-checked, the border looks ragged, but when the box is checked, the border looks grey. I can get the results I want by filling twice with anti-aliasing turned on, but I would like to have the box "Half-checked".

Photoshop :: CS4 Brushes Not Anti Aliasing...

Oct 20, 2008

I've just set up CS4 and my brushes are not anti aliasing properly. There are no soft edges on any of them. I'm able to get a pressure sensitive opacity change on the stroke but the edges are all pixelated.

Here is an image (this is a soft brush. notice none of the feathering/anti aliasing is there): ...

Photoshop :: No Anti-aliasing Transform

Jul 15, 2006

I am trying to transform a sprite which is about 32x32 and while using Photoshop's free transform tool to size it to something like 600x600 it becomes horribly distorted (thanks to the anti-aliasing). I need to turn it off while transforming, yet I see no option.

Photoshop :: Way To Do Some Anti-aliasing On My Drawing

Nov 9, 2004

I'm looking for a way to do some anti-aliasing on my drawing. I have a drawing that I scanned in and I cut out a few components of my scan in MS Paint. I did this by drawing the outline manually in one color and then coloring the background with that same color and then copying it with that color as the see-through color. The problem is that the contours look terrible on a black background since MS Paint can't help with anti-aliasing. Instead, I've got these cut-out drawings of objects with a thin white glow around them. That is, when I cut them out, it was extremely hard to move along the lines EXACTLY. I tended to cut more outside the lines than in, and so I took a lot of the white background with it. I need a way in PhotoShop to get rid of those white lines and then do some better anti-aliasing. How can I do this?

Photoshop :: Windows LCD / Text Anti-Aliasing

Sep 16, 2013

[URL].........
 
In the above picture you can see alternate options under text aliasing called Windows LCD. These only became visible to me after removing a GPU and all drivers, but with a new GPU it is still present?
 
My question is, how do you get this aliasing option as a default?
 
Edit: Bottom text is using Sharp aliasing.

Photoshop :: Anti-aliasing Custom Shapes?

Mar 3, 2004

I have noticed that the custom shapes are very jagged around the edges and I can't seem to find an anti-aliasing option for them.

I'm trying to use the "CheckMark" shape presently.

Is there a way to get nice smooth shapes? I didn't see anything about this in the help files.

Photoshop :: Anti Aliasing On A Simple Curve

May 22, 2007

Do draw a simple curved line: pen tool, then stroke with a brush, correct?

- line on left is stroked with a brush 2px max hardness

- middle line is stroked with pencil 2px, no anti aliasing (no option either?)

- arrow on right is what I'm aiming for! smooth, but not blurred, its the same thickness as the others.

Now, I actually drew the arrow, but can't remember how - do you see what I mean? There should be a happy meduim between the left and right curves, to get the arrow. I can't find it! the anti aliasing is still heavy, even on max brush hardness, and the pencil is too far the other way.

Photoshop :: New Font Anti-aliasing Modes In Windows

Jun 24, 2013

I really like the new font anti-aliasing modes in Windows, but i got one big problem: If i rasterize text its gets a bit thicker and lose all it's touch.
 
Here's an example: (rendering was: sharper. the top one is the non-rasterized text. looks a lot better). Test it on your own... just zoom into your type and rasterize it, then you see how its gonna change.

Photoshop :: CS6 - How To Turn Off Anti-aliasing For Pencil Tool

Aug 20, 2012

How do I turn off anti-aliasing for the pencil tool in Photoshop CS6. I want to draw a single pixel. I do not want to draw a shape or a line. I do not want additional low-opacity pixels on either side.
 
I set the pixel size to 1 and hardness to 100%. The pencil tool produces an anti-aliased line. I do not want this.

Photoshop :: Blurry Text Not Anti-aliasing And Resolution Changes

Apr 7, 2013

Whenever I type in Photoshop for the last few months, all the text is pixelated and blurry. The problem is impervious to anti-aliasing and resolution changes. The only difference is that with anti-aliasing the image is blurry and pixelated and without, it's just extremely pixelated. Why this problem started, I have no memory of changing a setting that would have caused this.
 
I've done everything I can think of, including re-setting Photoshop completely to original settings. Even files that I created before the problem began now have blurry text when opened. I esentially can't do anything with Photoshop right now and it is extremely frustrating. The following images are of the text WITH anti-aliasing and then without, both at 12 pt, 400%, 300 ppi.

Photoshop :: How To Remove Anti Aliasing Of Layerstyle Stroke Effect

Jan 15, 2013

I am using Photoshop cs5 win version.

I often use Layer style - Stroke Effect, to get strokes, but If I apply the effect to a layer, the stroke is always feathered, antialiased. Do you know how to remove those antialiased, semi-transparent pixels?

I need all pixels to be 100% opacity, because it's much easier to edit, easier to select. I always use Threshold adjustment layer with white solid layer to get crisp, aliased stroke pixels, but It's a little bit time consuming, so If you know the faster, much efficient way

GIMP :: No Anti-Aliasing Brushes On 2.8?

Mar 9, 2013

I used gimp 2.6 for awhile just to do simple isolations for various projects.

Recently my gimp 2.6 crashes while trying to load gradients, so i upgraded to 2.8 and all of the brushes that were in 2.6 are gone and NONE of them have anti-aliasing edges so i can isolate things with fuzzy alpha edges.

how to turn this back on or create a brush that has anti-aliasing edges?

Photoshop :: Best Settings For Graphics Card (anti-aliasing / Vertical Sync)?

Apr 19, 2013

how can I achieve the best of my graphics card. I have a 6490M AMD Radeon, an i3 Sandy Bridge Processor at 2.2GHZ and 8GB of RAM. I am not looking for making Photoshop work the fastest possible. I know what computer I am working with. What I need are the best settings for my graphics card (anti-aliasing, vertical sync etc.) all those settings that you can change from Quality to Performance. How do they influence Photoshop ?

I would also like to know what are the best settings for Photoshop Preferences. Most of my work circles around Web Design (files with many layers and low resolutions).

Photoshop :: Anti-aliasing Turned Off On 72dpi File For Website Template?

Mar 5, 2012

I was instructed on a video tutorial to be sure to turn off anti-aliasing on this web design/template I am making in Photoshop as they did. But all my text is really bitmapped and on the video it is not bit mapped at all. There is no way to email them to ask so I did some research on my own.

I am on a windows 7 system running Photoshop CS4. My file is an RGB 32 bit, 72dpi 900 x 1000 pixels - pixel aspect ratio is set on square pixels and somewhere I read to turn off the fractional widths in the Character panel which I did but my text is very bitmapped. I don't understand why I would turn off anti-aliasing for such a low resolution file for the web - and why the video tutorial shows their type is absolutely fine.

Photoshop :: Turning Off / Removing Anti-aliasing On Pen Tool After Outlining Image?

Jan 20, 2013

i just made an outline of a drawing with the pen tool. I finished and i started coloring the image and noticed that the Anti-Aliasing was on during the time i did the outline so now i have a border around where i filled in color that's transparent.

Is there any way (shy from doing the outline all over again with the "anti-aliasing" box un-checked) that i can just turn all those lines to non-anti-aliasing lines?

CorelDRAW X5 :: Spot Color Anti-Aliasing

Jan 20, 2011

Here at work we have recently upgraded from CorelDRAW 12 to X5. While this has come with plenty of great benefits (able to open newer versions of AI files), it seems some things are still present (stability issues). I actually work on a Mac at home for my freelance stuff so maybe I'm just used to the reliability that comes with a Mac. I enjoy PCs too but with years of experience with both I'd be lying if I said PCs are on par with what Apple brings to the table. Especially when it comes to graphic design work.

So this brings me to the problem of spot color anti-aliasing in the enhanced view of X5. The first two pictures below show how CorelDRAW 12 handled spot colors. These are direct SCREENSHOTS that I cropped in Photoshop, not exports. And I did no extra editing.

There is basically no difference between how the Pantone colors display on screen and how the RGB colors display. Which is great and what you'd expect, right?

However, let us step into X5 for a minute with the exact same colors, using the exact same palette.

Obviously there is a difference here. For some reason X5 has decided to anti-alias the Pantone colors in some weird way so that I get a tiny white outline (no the shapes don't have outlines). And if you look closely at the smaller purple box at the bottom you will see that even when I use the exact same pantone color from the exact same palette but with one color named differently, I get the white outline. The smaller box's color within is named '276 CV' while the outer box's color is named 'PANTONE 276 CV'.

How does simply naming a color effect how it displays on screen? Seems like a bug/glitch to me.

I know what is trying to be done here but why take a step backwards from CorelDRAW 12. I have a hard time using CorelDRAW as it is but as a graphic designer I need to know how something is going to look on screen without this unnecessary anti-aliasing going on.

So my questions are:

1.) Why does this do this in X5 but not 12?
2.) How to maybe turn it off? (I know I can view it in Normal view mode and the colors are fine but then my text is screwed up).

GIMP :: No Anti Aliasing For Odd Line Widths

May 19, 2012

I have a selection, make "Edit -> Stroke Selection" -> 4px and Anti-Aliasing is checked, but the stroked line is NOT Anti-Aliased. When I chose an even Line Width like 6 or 8 the Line is Anti-Aliased.

Why there is no Anti-Aliasing for odd Line Widths? Is this a Bug or do I miss something?
