  • Poor quality font in Photoshop, advice please?

    Posted by andy rollins on 3 June 2011 at 13:09

    Anyone got any idea why a path would be a bit wonky so to speak?
    Heres a example: If i type text out in ps and then select it and create a path from it the path is pretty rough edged with a lot of the we selection points ?

    cheers

    seems to do it with any font even arial 🙁
    If i export the font to illustrator and apply a a cut path there it will be 100%

    Anyone know were i can get a copy of winplot to link my summa to the computer?

    if you want to cut lettering do not use PS.

    out of interest are you self employed or employed.
    if you are employed you really need to go to your boss and ask for training for both your improvements, sorry if that’s a little harsh, but well done for asking

    do you mean the visual is ragged in photoshop? if so, it will be as its not a vector based programme where as illustrator is do some googling and you’ll see what I mean 😀

    You can select properties for the text in photoshop…. on the bar at the top you can select from, crisp, sharp, smooth or normal.

    May also be worth looking at the resolution of your image. Best setting for printing text from photoshop is about 300pxi..

    The resolution is relative to the size of the image, I had the same problems in my photoshop early days, but tweaking those options sorted it out
