Hello,

I have Photoshop 5.0 and am having a very difficult time with kerning my text. I read on this newsgroup that this is a issue with PS 5.0 and I was wondering what the work arounds are. I’ve had excellent kerning results with Elements, but this current project is more complex and requires that I stay with Photshop. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron

It’s been a long time since I’ve used PS 5, but I do remember kerning being a pain in the ass. Aside from advice not to use PS for type, if I remember correctly, I would rasterize text that is on its own layer and manually move each letter.

AFAIK, Elements is backward-compatible with previous versions of Photoshop in terms of file format. Why not just do all the "complex" parts that need to be done in Photoshop there, then load the file into PSE to do the text work?
