What do you mean 'print'? Professional printing or on your desktop inkjet? And are you talking images, text or both? |

Re: Anti-Aliasing Method for Print
Photoshop Text tool has the anti-aliasing methods (None, Sharp, Crisp, Strong, Smooth) I was wondering if their is a standard default for professional printers. |

Re: Anti-Aliasing Method for Print
It really depends on what you are going for. I often switch through the different modes when I am trying to match new text with existing text on an illustration, especially when doing web presentations. But this modes all have to do with how much aliasing gets added to the edge of text when it is converted on your photoshop document. If you really want your text to remain sharp and crisp, your best bet is to use Illustrator. If you are adding it to a image, which is what photoshop does best, then your edges aren't going to be as sharp. I pick the mode that works the best, and at times I find that it's even best to rasterize the text. Dave. |
