Hi Gang

Just got photoshop 7.0. The query I have is this:

If I draw a black circle on a white background (for example) the edges of the circle look ragged as if parts of the edge are broken away. However if I ‘save for the web’ the image I see in the preview looks fine and when I view the saved image in a web browser it looks fine also. Are there some settings I need to play around with in photoshop to give me the ‘clean’ look during the design phase?

Cheers

Hi Cartman!

Do you use ellipse tool for that? I think so. So when you use ellipse tool with shape layers you will see ragged outline, edge cause in that case photoshop creates a path around the circle called Shape Vector Mask. When you rasterize that layer path will vanish. Or just click on the background or any other layer to hide the ragged path outline.

Hi Kristóf

Yes you are right I used the ellipse tool and last night, before I saw your post, I clicked on the shape in the layer tool and as you say it became clean! Good to see your post ties up exactly with my problem and explains why. Very new to photoshop so to be expected I suppose!

Thanks again

Sounds to me like your workspace is less than 100%….Try Alt+Ctrl+0 "Eric Cartman" wrote in message
