Is it possible to precomp text, then enlarge it and maintain it's crisp vector like edges?

I animated text over my company's new surgical kit, highlighting and flashing the text in sync with the different parts of the kit also flashing at the same points in time to explain the protocol. A fair bit of work in doing that. However it was a boring straght-on angle, so I precomped the whole thing and put the Power Pin effect on it for a more dynamic angle. Looks killer! I'm stoked! But wait, that text looks like it was rasterized and enlarged in Photoshop. Yes I enlarged the text slightly when I used the Power Pin effect but never rasterized it. Is this just the nature if After Effects or is there a precomping text and enlarging it while maintaining it's crisp vector like edges?
(see attached Jpg)

That worked except for the fact that the CR button moves things position! What is that about?
I precomped the text and the tray/art separtely then brought them into the template and pasted the same exact Power Pin effect to both of them in the same position, yet they were not lining up, as they were when I Power Pinned them together.
I adjusted that to match so the problem is fixed for now. Not ideal, but it will do. So one could say, if your going to enlarge/distort text, precomp it alone, cr it, then place it, then distort/enlarge it. Is there any plug-ins out there that can make this easier.
Why does the CR button move things positions?

    No you can't.  It is iOS 7 or not at all.  You need to update to the lastest software or not at all, so the choice is yours.  Update to the latest software or not at all.  Stick with what you have.
    Also stop trolling this forum with the same stupid question to which you have had the same answer time and again.

  • Find text using regular expression and add highlight annotation

    Hi Friends
                       Is it possible to find text using regular expression and add highlight annotation using plugin

    A plugin can use the PDWordFinder to get a list of the words on a page, and their location. That's all that the API offers for searching. Of course, you can use a regular expression library to work with that word list.

  • Please create "on-the-fly change search engine" option ALSO for when we mark [word] in a text, then right-click, then choose "Search [engine x] for [word]"?

    In Firefox 34, you have changed the search bar.
    The new style is perfect for those who always starts by typing in, letter for letter, the search term.
    People such as myself, we almost never type in the search term,
    but instead we mark a [word] in a text, right-click this marked [word], then select "Search [engine x] for [word]".
    Speaking for myself, I have now a total of 36 search engine providers, but I usually only use 7 of those.
    I use "Wikipedia (English)" most of the time..
    - but then I will switch to e.g. "AniDB" and use that one for 1 hour..
    - or switch to "Google" and use that one for 30 minutes..
    - or switch to "Wikipedia (Norwegian)" and use that one for 2 hours..
    - or switch to "Wiktionary (English)" and use that one for 15 minutes..
    ..and then I will switch back to "Wikipedia (English)" again.
    The way the search bar was in Firefox 33 and earlier, I could very easily switch the default search engine.
    Just one click to open the drop-down menu, then choose one.
    In Firefox 34, I have to choose "Tools" -> "Options", the "Search" tab..
    - before I can THEN click to open the drop-down menu.
    4 clicks instead of 1, that's like 400% more work..!
    Also, the fact that I have to go into "Options".. make this..
    ..I don't know how to put it, it's a kind of psychological barrier that I have to overcome each time.
    I mean, before Firefox 34, I went to the "Options" window like maybe 4 times each YEAR,
    now, I have to go there 4 times each DAY..!
    I am not saying you should revert to the old style Search bar,
    as I feel that those you are typing search terms are indeed very happy for this new style..
    Instead, I think of 2 possible ways to create happiness also for us that do mark text and choose "Search.."
    1) An "on-the-fly change search engine" option ALSO for when we mark [word] in a text, then right-click, then choose "Search [engine x] for [word]".
    This could work as a cascading menu option, where it says..
    Search for [word] in -> [engine x]
    ..and where [engine x] was the current default engine, and all the other engines was listed underneath,
    just like the drop-down menu when you switch the default engine.
    Additionally, you could have an on / off checkbox in the "Options" "Search" tab, where you had this option:
    "Change default search engine when choosing another from the drop-down menu"
    THIS would actually be PERFECT.. It would be even much BETTER than in Firefox 33 and earlier..! :-)
    2) If there are things with the first option that don't work (something I've missed etc),
    then maybe you could have an on / off checkbox in the "Options" "Search" tab, where you had this option:
    "Use old-style search bar"
    This would be off by default, but when switched on, it would give us the old Firefox 33 style Search bar.

    Strongly recommend Context Search extension which will solve your problem

    @s_ashok – you'll find the right methods and properties in the CHM file for InDesign CS2 at:
    http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html
    Just a few hints:
    InDesign CS2 does not support GREP search/replace, so every line in your code that points to GREP does not work.
    Further: "app.findTextPreferences" and "app.changeTextPreferences" were "app.findPreferences" and "app.changePreferences" in InDesign CS2. And then there were no "findChangeTextOptions" or any counterpart for that in CS2…
    That should get you running…
    I have no InDesign CS2 installed to debug, so this is all I can say…

  • Is it possible to insert text in a picture in Lightroom?

    Is it possible to insert text in a picture in Lightroom?

    The text options are very limited.
    Besides the watermark option mentioned already by dj_paige you can
    - add text in the Slide Show Module. Click on the letters "ABC" below the image and then select your text options from the drop-down menu. See screen shot.
    Besides "Custom Text" as shown you can select any of the other options from the drop-down menu. You are not limited to one choice - you can (one after the other) select any combination from
    the drop down menu. You can drag the text boz anywhere you want it to be and you can resize it and adjust the opacity.
    When you are done you can export the iamge as PDF - Export as PDF works also with only one image, so it doesn't have to be a "slide show" with several images.
    2) In the Print Module the text options are more limited but you can add text in the "Phot Info" panel. Unfortunately you can't move the text around and can't change the size of the text box.
    As in the Slide Show Module you can save the image from the Print Module by selecting "Print to File" which creates a JPG.

  • Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

    Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

    If you mean that you wish to highlight messages from certain people or domain names, then if you select Preferences under 'Mail' (top left hand corner next to the Apple logo when you're in the mail application) and then select the right hand icon marked 'rules', then click on Add Rule and hopefully the rest is fairly self explanatory.
    Best of luck

  • I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

    I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

    The easiest way is to keep Textedit in the Dock and drag the .cue file(s) to the Dock icon.
    You can also create an Automator Service:
    Open Automator
    Select: Service
    Select Service receives selected [files or folders] in [Finder]
    and:
    Then select one or more .cue file, right click (or Control-click) on the selection to display the contextual menu. Scroll to the bottom of the contextual menu and select Services -> (what you named the Service).

  • Is it possible to add text or commentary in a diaporama?

    Is it possible to add text or commentary in a diaporama?

    You can create a text slide to add to the slideshow. Creat the slide in any text app you'd like or Pages and then convert that page to a PDF.  To do so with Lion you'll need to go to  Toad's Cellar and download the two files Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow and Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow, and put them in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder.
    Then in the application that you're using to create the text slide do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Safe PDF to iPHoto. The 200 dpi version is sufficient for slideshows.  The 300 dpi version is for items to be used in iPhoto books.

    Yeah, unless you want to deal with the pain of trying to get you messages to your computer, you will have to take a screenshot (by taping the home and lock button at the same time).
    If you want to print a screenshot, it will be in the photos app to print ( click the share button and click print).  If you so not have a AirPrint printer, there are third-party apps for computers like fingerprint (look it up) that can make a fake AirPrint printer.
    I want to add something more.
    In most cases, you would need to use a paid third party tool to export and then print your iPhone text messages on your computer. If you have a low amount of messages you want to print you can also take prints creens of each message, then transfer the photos to your computer and print from there.

  • Is it possible to highlight text on Adobe Digital Editions?

    So I decided to download an "eBook" for college for the first time, since it's cheaper than a physical book.
    It's on Adobe Digital Editions (1.7.2.1131)
    What I normally do in text books, is I highlight key texts from a chapter.
    I figured you'd have the ability to highlight on each page, and then come back and view the highlighted material later. Talk about frustrating.
    Is it possible and I'm just not seeing it?
    I guess the second best thing for now is to re-write the text in the bookmarks.

    Add the book to the Library (or bookmarks wont work), then select the text and click on the "Add Bookmark" button (towards the top  between the printer and the font size buttons).
