FW CS3 - Paste Inside and anti aliasing

The edges always anti alias even if you select 'Hard Edge'.
Curiously, when you move the image so any part of it is not
overlapping the edges the containing shape becomes hard edged.

anyone know a way around this?

Can you make a hard-edged mask to apply to the image? Does
that keep your hard edge?

Java font kerning and anti-aliasing

Hi,
I have to create images containing text with font kerning and anti-aliasing.
Also (although I don't think it makes much difference):
- I am using a special font, not a system font (Helvetica Neue Condensed).
- I intend to run this on Linux
The images will be saved as GIFs. This is something that i know very well.
If you have any comments regarding at least one of my problems (1. kerning, 2. anti-aliasing) please let me know.
Thank you very much.
All the berst,
Andrei

The J2SE (Java 2D) doesn't provide much support for these. You can set the following
hints on your Graphic2D object before rendering text:
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_FRACTIONALMETRICS, RenderingHints.VALUE_FRACTIONALMETRICS_ON);I find these hints work best with large fonts (say >36 pixels height!) and sometimes fractional
metrics looks better on, sometimes better off (sometimes either way looks bad!).
Fractional metrics is different from kerning, but sems to be the closest you can get to it in the J2SE.
I don't know if JAI has anything like it, but I have read some mention of kerning in Batik.

Bitmap smart objects and anti aliasing, Photoshop CC

Photoshop CC is doing a poor job of rendering bitmap smart objects, and I saw Chris Cox mention the checkbox to enable anti aliasing for placed smart objects. This works with vector smart objects, but this box is grayed out for bitmaps that I've converted to smart objects. The smart object bitmap renders poorly when manually rasterized too. I don't recall having this problem in previous versions of Photoshop. For now I'm going to avoid converting bitmap elements to smart objects so I get decent transforms.

There are no jagged lines in that example - you're just rasterizing at a REALLY low resolution.

[SOLVED] FontConfig Update and Anti-Aliasing

After doing upgrade of fontconfig exactly like explained on news here;
http://www.archlinux.org/news/fontconfi … -required/
Font became too thin, I think anti-aliasing is working wrong now. I've even added this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … igurations
Also, my appearance settings is:
Default Font: Sans / Size: 10
Rendering: Enabled anti-aliasing
Hinting: Full
Sub-pixel order: None
DPI: Custom DPI setting 96
Here is few examples:

Is there anyhting else I can do to fix this ?

My fonts were also looking bad after the upgrade (the same as in your screenshots), what I did:
mv .fontconfig .config/fontconfig
mv .fonts.conf .config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
mkdir .config/fontconfig/conf.d
ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf .config/fontconfig/conf.d ## Though this wasn't really necessary.
Moved all cache files from .config/fontconfig (formerly ~/.fontconfig) to ~/.cache, as suggested in the wiki.
And I copied this in my fonts.conf (.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf), examples you can also find in the wiki:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >

<edit name="lcdfilter" mode="assign"><const>lcddefault</const></edit>
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
Now my fonts look like before, and Chromium looks even better, thanks to one of the examples found.

[SOLVED] How to turn on font hinting and font anti-aliasing?

I wanted to configure hinting and anti-aliasing, although I've never used fontconfig before.
I had been reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/font_configuration and I have found some contradictions.
First it says "Configuration can be done globally through /etc/fonts/fonts.conf" and then immidiatelly after that it says "This file is replaced during fontconfig updates and shouldn't be edited".
Then it says per-user path ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated in turn for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf with no indication where should this "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" actually be.
I get that I am supposed to put my custom XML "somewhere":
<match target="font">
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign"><const>hintfull</const></edit>
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
</match>
But I have no idea where?
Last edited by choosegoose (2015-02-02 23:22:56)

Normally the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME variable points to .config in your /home/<user> directory.
So the path that you would use would be: /home/<user>/.config/fontconfig
Please note that it's DOT config.

Photoshop CC Text Anti-aliasing problem.

Hey guys, not sure if anyone else has experienced this problem, but today I turned on my machine and starting layout out some type and noticed that it looked alot chunkier than before. I had my anti-aliasing set to Mac LCD, which is usually spot on, but this particular text field looked terrible. I opened an old document and sure enough, I was right, the same type of anti-aliasing looked vastly different, even when both of the typfaces were exactly the same. I've had others open the file on their machines and have gotten the same problem. Now every time I create a new text field, I get chunky, terrible looking anti-aliasing, no matter what font I'm using. The only way I can get good looking type is by copying and pasting from old files. I've included an example file of what I mean. On the left is Trade Gothic, and on the right is Trajan (just to show it's not any particular font). The top versions of the fonts look beautiful clean, and anti-aliased properly. The bottom versions look chunky and blurry. Any help would be much appreciated!
Download the file here: http://cl.ly/3I2L2f163q3z

Same problem here.
This fixed it for me. Though, only temporarily:
1. Select all layers of your PSD file.
2. Select the type drop down > Anti-Aliasing > None
3. Save your file
4. Quit Photoshop
5. Re-open the file
6. Select all layers of your PSD again
7. Select the type drop down > Mac LCD (or desired aliasing)
8. Save the file
9. Continue working
This worked the last few times I tried but it is not a permanent solution.

Anti-aliased HTML text in Webkit browser?

Hi all,
I'm working with the webkit browser in an AIR project and running into a big hurdle. The fonts displayed in my webkit HTML are blocky and jaggy due to AIR not supporting -webkit-font-smoothing or text-rendering, and this is making my really great AIR app look a bit shoddy.
I was just wondering if anyone out there might have some sort of solution (or hack) that would resolve this issue and improve the appearance of the HTML text. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks for any advice,
Steven.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply. I'm using Flash CS6 targetting Air 3.4 for Desktop (on Win7). I tried switching my app to using StageWebView as suggested but it yields the same results, and so am a bit stumped as to what to do. I've checked my html css to make sure the correct font styling is in place and it appears smooth and anti-aliased in Chrome and IE (but not Firefox), so I'm not entirely sure what to do now.
I'm not too big into Webkit but is there anything in particular I should look out for with my machine?
Thanks again,
Steven.

[CS5][Save for Web][Anti-aliasing] Fine lines in exported PSD with adjustment layers

Hello,
You can reproduce the bug this way:
- link a PSD with a adjustment (Levels, Brightness/Contrast) layer in your AI file
- Save for Web, with AA for Art (not text) selected
In the exported image there will be artefacts, white lines usually.
Flattening the PSD or deleting the adjustment layers will solve the problem and anti-aliasing will be applied correctly.
I used CMYK/RGB settings, FOGRA39/Adobe RGB 1998 for all the files involved.

Hi,
I am experiencing this same problem of pixelated gifs when I use the "save for web" dialog from Illustrator, but this solution has not worked for me. I have tried the trick of using type-optimized anti-aliasing, but it doesn't change the output at all. I've done this from within the "Image size" tab as well as through Effect>Rasterize>Options)Anti-aliasing: Type Optimized. My image is a logo made entirely from text, although for some of it I used "outline path", so I'm not sure if it still qualifies as text...I'm a newbie at this stuff, so the technical details are still quite opaque to me.
Does anyone know of a solution to this that does not require me to add Photoshop to my workflow?
I'm using Illustrator in CS5, version 15.0.2.
Thanks in advance

Anti-Aliased Fonts : FF2 vs IE7

I could have sworn Firefox was the first to come out with
font
anti-aliasing, for smoother text detail... then IE7 came out
and followed
suit, opening the door to fonts smaller than 10px looking
smooth (for
copyright notices and the like).
However, as I compare both browsers today, I see IE7 has the
anti-aliasing
but FF2 doesn't. Yet my FF2 install is defaults-only, so I
can't imagine I'd
have turned anti-aliased fonts off.
What happened? Did I imagine the whole thing, where FF came
out with
anti-aliased fonts first? Or did they try it and change their
minds in a
future update? Am I losing my mind?
Thanks.

I've printed both anti-aliased and non-anti-aliased fonts at
300dpi, and I
see a difference. In fact, there are several levels of
anti-aliasing, from
crisp to smooth.
Why are we even having this discussion? It's quickly turning
ugly.

It's being used as such on screens, yes. But it's not its
sole and only
purpose.

See above answer about being able to visually see the
difference between
anti-aliased and non-anti-aliased fonts at 300dpi.
What you can say is that YOU don't see it, but please don't

Possible bug in Illustrator CS4 text anti-aliasing in Save for Web and Devices

Hello all,
This could be a bug... if so, I'd be happy to add it to Wade's bug list a few messages down the stream.
Here's what's happening: when I create small text using a very thin font (in this case, Helvetica Neue Light), the Pixel Preview gives a noticeably different anti-aliasing solution to the actual output from Save for Web & Devices. I'm attaching an original .AI file as well as a screenshots of what I'm getting in both situations.
I'd really prefer the Save for Web and Devices output to look exactly like the Pixel Preview. The font looks great in Illustrator but loses a lot of its punch when I Save for Web.
---Peter

In the Svae for Web and Device under the image tab where it says art Optimize that is a drop down menu select Type Optimize as such
htis is what it lloks like in AI and a browser when you choose Type Optimize
This the difference between Art Optimized and Type Optimize
That is what is happening to you you are selcting Art Optimize and that is the reason when you choose art optimize aqnd you rraster the image it looks right to you.

Preview - anti aliasing and text in scanned pdf

hello all,
i have an issue with preview not anti aliasing text in pdf files. to elaborate, take a pdf with text which is selectable and it appears jagged, not anti aliased as in pdfs with text which is treated as an image, i.e. not selectable.
also, sometimes, when scrolling through pages in full screen, the following page has the text anti-aliased as the scroll animation is taking place, i.e. while the previous page is being moved away through the gesture, but once the previous page has disappeared and the new page 'settled in' the smoothing is gone.
smooth text and line art is checked, as is lcd smoothing in general preferences.
any suggestion are much appreciated.

Hi 1ndivisible,
Hmm, that's odd. My type is looking pretty decent out of Illustrator. Can you try a different font or the same font in a new sequence?
Thanks,

Message Edited by mosher on 06-02-2005 03:54 AM

Hi Mosher
There are PCI/PXI solutions to do what you require. For example you could use an S-series device or a DSA board. However a set-up for connection to a laptop is more tricky. The reason is that devices with these features are based around generally high end and therefore need to use the higher bus speeds of PCI/PXI.
Is there definitely a requirement to use a laptop, or would a small PXI system or desktop be ok instead?

The images in Photoshop or InDesign improperly anti-aliased, looking fuzzy

I've bought Late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro with Mac OS Mavericks, and am having trouble with anti-aliasing.
In short, the images/documents open in Photoshop or InDesign are improperly anti-aliased and look fuzzy.
I can understand why the menu bars and stuff should appear fuzzy and blurry as a result of auto anti-aliasing; otherwise they might appear too small for eyes to see since the resolution is super high.
But why should the machine want to blow up the images or documents inside the application and apply anti-aliasing to make them look so fuzzy?
It would be grateful if there's a way to stop my computer doing the anti-aliasing all the stuff on screen.

No, not that I know of - you do need to make certain that you're using the very latest versions of both apps, though.

AS window in leopard shows anti aliased font. Fix?

I was using CS3 no problem, but when I upgraded to leopard on
my mac, the cs3 actionscript window shows all anti aliased text.
The standard text in morocco 10, which it is set to. I know that I
can go into preferences in leopard and change the aliaseing to be
turned off for 10 and bellow, but then most things are aliased.
This problem didn't exist earlier.
So is there a setting or something in Flash that I can set to
make sure that the actionscript window keeps text aliased? I really
don't want smooth text in my as window. Any help would be great.
Cheers.

i already do have anti-aliasing turned on. black text on a white background is anti-aliased as expected. i'm trying to use white on black and the difference, while subtle, is there. since i sit in front of a terminal and program all day, i want a font and display combination that is easier on my eyes than what i'm seeing now. i'll go back to black text on light background for now, but in the long run i prefer the opposite style.

How to Turn Off anti-aliasing in JavaFX?

How to Turn Off anti-aliasing in JavaFX? Is that possible at all?

If you find that doesn't work as well as you want, perhaps the easiest thing is to select the object (Select>All), Edit>Copy, File>New>Image from Clipboard.
Then follow MichelBParis's instructions, then either copy and paste back to the original or drag to the original.
If that is your only layer then using the Image Size is the best way.
