Hi,

I notice a very distinct difference in text quality between PhotoShop CS and PaintShop Pro 8. In PS text are always somewhat fuzzy and unclear. In PSP text appears to be crisper and clearer, without suffering smoothness. Therefore I use PSP for text instead of PS. However, I would rather stick to PS. Do I do something wrong or do other users see the difference in quality also? The smaller the font, the more noticable the difference is.

Kind regards,

When you open a new file for text in PS try using a higher resolution

have you tried adjusting the anti-aliasing method of your type to fit your liking…this can make a large difference in the crispness of your type…the option is found in the character pallete. hope that helps.

Yes I learned it when playing with a business card. 72dpi with a 2.5×3 doc size, text was awful. Changed it to 300dpi with the same doc size and it was a night and day differenc

Yes, I tried all settings, but it didn’t bring the crispness I was looking for… Thanks for the suggestion though.
