I’m trying to put together a XMAS collage for a gift, and at the top I’ve put text "Merry Christmas" with Outer Glow, drop shadow, and bevel/emboss. Even without the effects, the test is still choppy, or pixelated. How can I make the text smooth so it will look nice on the picture when I print out?

Please help.

Please help.

Maybe you should start working with a much higher resolution?

And make sure your text/picture is on 100%, when you look at the ‘choppyness’.

Make sure your anti-aliasing is set to something other than "none" while you’re at it. 🙂
