Anti-alias problems in .png

I have an image that is made up of three long narrow strips of colour that close to a point at one end. Those three strips are flipped and the points placed end to end so it's like a ribbon with one twist in it but in a straight line.
If I save for web as a .png the colors bleed into each other. It's only 12px high with each strip being 4px. If I turn off anti-alias the bleeding stops but the points of the ribbon look bad.
I am not sure what to do about that.

Probably nothing. This sounds perfectly normal. The only way to possibly avoid it would IMO be to construct each strip as a separate layer in PS, then apply selective color corrections near the tip to improve the perceived color blending...

CS 4 - Arial no anti-alias problem

Hi - I've been using CS4 which I purchased recently.
I don't know if its a bug or not, but when I select the arial
font and set it to no anti-alias it changes to 'arial MT' which
isn't the same. If it's set to 'smooth anti-alias' it stays as
arial. It's really really annoying. Does anyone know of a fix for
this?
I know we work with anti-alias but why can't the fonts look
smooth and crisp like a web page renders them?
Thanks in advance,
Jared.

Adobe has some good people but I'm afraid they also have a
lot of folks who
are clearly (no pun intended) deluded about some things.

ID CS4 Anti-Alias problems with Linked files

All the linked files i have put into Indesign CS 4 whether they are PSD, Tiff,layered or flat have shown up slightly pixelated. When i print the same file from its native program (in this case Photoshop CS4) the files print clean and crisp and the text and artwork have clean edges but when i link the file into an Indesign CS4 doc and then print it off, the file comes out fairly clean but there are jagged lines on the text and art.
Mac OX 10.4.11
Intel Mac Pro G5
4GB Ram
2X 2.66 Dual Core Intel Xeon
250GB HD

I now understand your question and yes in the graphics tab in my Indesign print settings I have it set to send all data. I exported the indesign file as a high res PDF and the output on the printer was the same. I don't believe its a printer setting because when i switch my display performace from typical to high-res the text and art from the linked file look pixalated. On the layered psd file the text files are not converted and yet when displayed through ID CS4 the text looks fuzzy and slightly pixalated.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Pdf save as jpg and png looks pixelated like it doesn't anti-alias text

This has been an issue for a while and I can't figure out how to resolve it. When i open a pdf in acrobat 11.0.0 and click file/save as other/ i can't get the text to anti-alias, it always looks jagged no matter what settings i adjust.
I can bring the pdf into photoshop or illustrator and can export there but with multiple pages it is a bit absurd. any ideas?

thanks bill,
I'll try to do the updates, it is rather difficult to do when the creative cloud software thinks you are up to date.
I've tried everything from determine automatically and 72-600 dpi, adjusting the interlace and filter options. It happens regardless of the font - here are 2 more examples on a file created in illustrator, saved off as pdf and then jpg using default settings and png using default settings

Library font Bitmap text (no anti-alias) Flash CS5

Ok, in previous version of flash we had this window:
But now in Flash CS5 the new font embedding window is changed, and there is no Bitmap text checkbox, so how am I to create dynamic Text Fields with ActionScript, and embed the fonts in them using Bitmap text [no anti-alias]? And don't give me the GridFitType.PIXEL solution, I want true Bitmap text.

Can someone please help me with the above problem?
I've published two images to show what appen.
This it's the correct
one (without embedding font and with font installed in the client
machine).
This it's the wrong one
(with font embedded and not installed in the client machine).
I'm so sad... thanks

Where are the anti-alias options for 3D Rendering in Photoshop CS6?

Ok so I am trying to make a 3D globe, but using CS6 (i have designed in 3D in CS5 before but want to familiarise myself with the process for CS6). The problem is that the edges of the sphere are a little sketchy and I want to change anti-alias settings to solve the problem but cannot seem to find them anywhere
Does anybody happen to know where they have been moved to? Thanks

Well as it turns out this "all new CS6 Extended" has gone back in time. So many of the useful options from CS4 (sorry I thought I did this on CS5 before but I was mistaken) have been scrapped or hidden away to somewhere that only the guy who designed the Photoshop layout would know. Heres a hint for the guys at Adobe, don't take away the useful stuff when you release a new version... Bring in MORE useful stuff...

Hey I'm new to photoshop 13 just wanting to know what to do about pixelated around text need it to be clean around the edges for my product labels. I tried the anti alias on and it didn't do much is there anything else I could do to get the text looking g

hhey im new to photoshop elements 13 I'm finding my text is pixelated around edges I need it to be clean for my product labels. I have used the anti alias on and didn't really do much anyone know any other ways?

Can you attach a sample of the problem you are addressing here. A psd would be fine.

Can't use Bangla font in anti-alias "anti-alias for animation"....help needed!

Hi, the problem I am having with adobe flash pro cs6 is that I am trying to use Bangla font in flash. Although the font shows up but in anti-alias "anti-alias for animation" mode, the fonts become all scattered and disordered. But when I switch to "use device font", the work okay. But in using device font, I cant really use the subscript or superscript button. So then again I have to switch back to "anti-alias for animation". I am getting sick of it. Is there any way around it?
I have added an image for you to understand my query ............
Someone else "deval mistry" posted the same problem on Mangal font here.... https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1697054

I found an solution.
Uninstalling AirParrot as well as the two offending AirParrotDriver.kext and APExtFramebuffer.kext files in System>Library>Extensions was the fix. All problems disappeared.

Paint Bucket Dump Won't Anti-Alias

I made a selection with the magic wand (with the anti-alias box checked), made a new layer, and dumped a color in with the paint bucket (anti-alias box is checked). But, the edges are not anti-aliased. I am running Photoshop CC on Mac OS 10.6.8, and this problem occurred in a .tiff file and a .psd file. I can't imagine what I am missing here. Help!

Probably because of the selection. The fill can not blend beyond the selection and therefore gives you a hard edge.
What you can do is feather the selection which can be done in the refine edge dialog box or From the menu Select>Modify> Feather or Select>Modify>Expand.
Using expand will push out the selection so your anti-aliasing can work better.

Anti-Alias Frame Control Crashes Compressor

I don't know if people are still having this problem, but the Anti-Alias control in the Frame Controls tab causes any render I make to crash consistently. I've done pretty much everything I can to try to fix this but it still persists. Removing the entire Final Cut Suite 3 contents and re-installing has no effect either. I really would like to be able to use this control, so if there's anyone out there with an answer I would definitely appreciate it!

I have the same problem, and haven't found a solution other than downgrading to compressor 3.5.0... that makes it stop crashing but the end result looks like the anti-alias wasn't applied... so no solution...

DW CS3 problem with PNG-8 images in Design View?

DW CS3 (build 3481) on XP seems to have problems with PNG-8 images, specifically trying to display them in design view.
I had a very simple image that was able to be exported by Fireworks CS4 as PNG-8 using 4 colors (no transparency) for a tiny file size under 250 bytes.
DW could not display it at all, or even recognize it, reporting it was 0 x 0 in size. I published the page anyway, and it looked fine in the browser.
I upped the number of colors to 32, and DW could then display it in design view in the page I was working on.
I'm still having problems with other PNG-8 images. The attached file "temp.jpg" is a screenshot showing part of the design view in DW.
The smaller image on the left of the banner is "58_certificate_of_discharge.png" (attached), and the larger image below is used as the background of the DIV containing the form,"compassbk.png" (also attached).
These images all look fine in the browser, but terrible in DW.
I'm stumped as to why.
Thanks in advance.

According to a different discussion, the images that are stuck as "Queued" are showing a bug in the virus scanning on the forums.
Now trying the recommended 'camera icon' method...
Looks like it worked.
Now compare what it looks like in DW CS3 in the design view:
It's a 16 color PNG-8 made in Fireworks CS4 with no transparency, size is 113 x 58, ending up at 1.71K.
If this is a repeatable problem in CS3, is there any hope of it being resolved, or am I stuck with upgrading to CS4 as my only option (assuming it's fixed in CS4)?
Thanks.

Database column alias problem

When joining the firstname and surname fields in my inital SQL query of my interactive report i.e
INITCAP(INDSNAME)||' '||INITCAP(INDFNAME) AS FULLNAME,
When clicking through to the record detail page I am getting the following error from the page item where in the source I am specifying FULLNAME under Source value or expression
Column FULLNAME not found in table MYTABLENAME
How can I get around this?
Many Thanks

Hi Bas
Thanks - it will just be a view as basically I just want to print the data via jasper
In my IA report under column attributes there is one called FULLNAME which is derived from INITCAP(INDSNAME)||' '||INITCAP(INDFNAME) AS FULLNAME,
So how can I get the data displayed in the FULLNAME column in the IA report into a single record view. At the moment my IA report the Link Column is currently linked to a 'Link to custom target'
the target is a 'Page in this Application' in this case page 9
and in Item1 under Name the value is P9_ROWID and the value is #ROWID#

Can we disable the anti-alias option for the quick selection tool?

Can we disable the anti-alias option for the quick selection tool?
I can deselect it with the magic wand but not with the quick selection. Any ideas?
thanks,

I don't think you can, but in the refine edge dialog you can use the contrast setting to get rid of most of the anti-alias.

Jagged edge of Smart Object in PS CC. Anti-alias is disabled.

I created a rectangle shape in PS and make it as Smart Object. I get jagged edged Smart Object when I do rotate, skew or perspective it.
Someone suggested that turning on the anti-alias feature in the option bar would solve this issue. However, When I do free transform Smart Object, the anti-alias feature is diabled.
Has anyone experienced this kind of issue and found the solution?
Thanks

Thanks for the help. Your suggestion would be work when I use shapes in Smart Object, however, what I am trying to do is to create a shape or any object and make it Smart Object as a container. Objects in Smart Object can be anything.
Image Interpolation setting in PS Preference is Bicubic. I tried with Bicubic automatic but I had a same result. Also I tried with raster graphics, but it still seemed jagged.
The line looks Jagged
Here's another example.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks!

Frame Controls: Anti-Alias & Details Level

Can anyone give me a general rule of thumb as to when these need to be used, and exactly how much. 1-100 seems like a lot of leeway...
Thanks.

Those settings are not very well documented. Here is what the Compressor User Manual says:
Adaptive Details: Select this checkbox to use advanced image analysis to distinguish between noise and edge areas.
• Anti-alias: Use this slider to set a softness level from 0 to 100. This parameter improves the quality of conversions when you’re scaling media up. For example, when transcoding standard definition video to high definition, Anti-alias smooths out jagged edges that might appear in the image.
• Details Level: Use this slider to set a level (from 0 to 100) to preserve sharp edges. This is a sharpening control that lets you add detail back to an image being enlarged. Unlike other sharpening operations, the Details Level setting is able to distinguish between noise and feature details, and generally doesn’t increase unwanted grain. Increasing this parameter may introduce jagged edges, however, which can be eliminated by increasing the Anti-alias level.
Note: Adaptive Details, Anti-alias, and Details Level pertain only to frame resizing (scaling), not deinterlacing.
You really have to do some tests, as this depends on the kind of content and the source/delivery frame size.
I watched a presentation from WWDC 2007, where Doug Werner, who compress video for http://www.apple.com/trailers (using Compressor - which is not a toy as some may think), said he used to choose a Detail Level of 50, when downscaling from 1080p to 480p, but for that particular clip he changed it to 20 (Resize filter was set to Better, and Adaptive Details was not checked). Apparently, sharpening also applies to downscaling and not only to enlarging as the user manual might indicate.
To really get the best results, do some short tests on relevant parts of your media before you apply your settings or save them as presets, because there is a lot of different content that has to be handled in different ways.
I guess the general rule of thumb would be: Test, test, test, and use what you see and learn from the results to fine tune your settings for that particular type of content. Action content with a lot of fast cuts and motion, often demands more care and attention than the opposite.
Use the recommendations/tips from others to guide you in the right direction, but use the settings you think looks the best in the end.
Good luck!
