![]() Once you’ve brought all your items into designated layers, and you feel your illustration is ready to turn into an animation, you’re on your way to making a new animation in After Effects. Once you’ve selected your item, use command+x to cut your object and Command+F to paste the item into its former location. Step 5: Bring Your Items into Layersįrom here, you will have to pick an Illustrated item to bring into the new layer. Changing your actual name isn't this easy. ![]() ![]() Photoshop has *got* to be better at text than Paint.Sorry. I mean, the font looks and prints correctly even out of Windows Paint. It should looke like the fonts in AI, ID, Xpress, etc. But what we shouldn’t get is text that is thicker and wider from PS. I would expect the "quality" of the prints between a cheap LaserJet and an expensive Xerox DC12 to be very different. The AI displays and prints are what the fonts should really look like. So PS is definitely printing fonts differently and incorrectly. This is the way it looks on the screen and in print. The fonts in PS are much thicker, as if stroked by a few pixels. Printed directly from PS to the DC12 Postscript printer, the text is razor-sharp and solid black.īut, the output still looks different from AI output. The PS PDF printed to the LaserJet now prints solid black, no screening. I also printed directly out of PS and AI to a Xerox DC12 color laser printer with an EFI RIP. I created PDFs out of PS and AI, then printed to the LaserJet PCL printer. They are different tools, and to want a raster program to do vector things may interfer with people who want it to do only raster things. When you print 72 ppi output to a 300 ppi (or higher) printer, it will look horrid, because you are using less than 1/4 of the normal printer resolution.īut it would be nice if PS and AI displayed and printed fonts the sameįor your purposes, perhaps. You will still be able to see steps, if you look closely, but this is unavoidable, because the pixels in a monitor are of a certain size. Photoshop will antialias to give you the smoothest possible resolution. When you use 72 ppi resolution, you are aiming at the default screen resolution. Only someone like Chris Cox could tell us for sure.) If you want smooth fonts in final output, then you need to use a high resolution. (On most systems … perhaps a few PostScript devices can work from the vectors, if the print driver program allows it. MS Word, Publisher, Illustrator, Serif Drawplus, Serif Pageplus, Serif Photoplus….)Īs I mentioned before, while Photoshop does use vector fonts internally, it rasterises the output for printing. Not with any other program out there as I’ve mentioned in my previous posts (ie. I don’t know if anyone else is experiencing this with Photoshop, but my text looks garbage only when using Photoshop. I hit print, it it spits out the document perfectly printed as it is on screen. Looks great on screen OBVIOUSLY because it’s vector-based and is sharp at all resolutions. I then open up a simple A4 document in Illustrator, type the word "Photoshop" at the same size text as outlined above. When it prints out, it looks crap just like it did on my screen (edges jaggy). Secondly, I hit print and it tells me I’m printing to a non-postscript printer (i.e my laser which I know IS postscript!!). Firstly, it doesn’t look the best as it is on the screen with the edges ‘jaggy’. I open up a A4 300 ppi resolution document in Photoshop and simply type the word "Photoshop" at 72pt size Myriad Pro font. I believe that what I then should be asking is this: Is there any way for me to preview my text in Photoshop in vector-resolution (I don’t know how else to say this) so that it’s sharp at all resolutions? Let me describe my problem (amongst many others that I obviously have ) in another way: Thanks also to Don McCahill for his response which has helped me understand a little bit more. Firstly, thanks to everyone who is trying to help me understand this problem and has posted a reply.
