Jagged edges on logo

i am using one of the templates from dvd sp 4
when i try to replace some of the pre built text with a logo
1. i could not do it - i deleted the text then tried to drop in the logo, it would not let me
2. i made a button which let me drop in the logo but now it is very jagged...
thx

Hi
i made a button which let me drop in the logo but now it is very jagged...
What size in pixels is your logo and what format? Probably you need to resize it before importing to DVDSP to the final size of your button.
Hope that helps !

Logo has jagged edges

I am trying to put a logo on the menu and it looks awful. the edges are completely jagged and the logo is pixelated. Bringing it in as the original photoshop file. any suggestions.?

Hi:
Are you addind it as a drop zone? Or directly in the background?
The best results are incorporating the logo to your background image/animation and never let DVDSP to scale it; import your images to the final size you need them.
Hope that helps !

Why does this logo have jagged edges?

I'm working on a new logo and before I get too far along I need to resolve this issue; why does this shape have jagged edges when posted on the web?
you can see it on-line auctionontario.ca
Thx

auctioneer,
Obviously, you are using the transparency available for the GIF format.
In addition, you should tick the Anti-Aliasing which is, unfortunately, hidden away like a hidden feature in the Image Size window within Save for Web.

Shapes get random jagged edges

Hello,
I am working on a freelance logo and the client kept mentioning that my sample PDF's seem to have "smudge" on part of it, I never saw it and then I asked them to actaully SEND me the file while I was not at my primary computer so I can look at it.
It is really wierd. It seem that when you zoom in and out the shape changes and gets these ramdom jagged edges. I don't see them on my computer or phone and my client only sees them on her desktops but it does also print out with these wierd edges as well. I converted all type to lines and did an export to PDF to show her samples. I have attached photo expamples. Please help! i have never had this before. The first image shows how it is supposed to look and how it did look when I first opened, the other 2 show what happens when it gets zoomed. And it changes too, it isn't the same jagged edges everytime.
Thanks!

In IIllustrator, you woudl normally chaneg your limit (AKA miter limit, flatness) to a lower number
Since this is happening in acrobat, you may be able to fix this with your preview settings. Problem with that is your clietn would also have to change their settings. The ones under rendering is what you want to change.
If thsi dont help. you want to look at where tehis is happening and if you have overlapping vector points, would be good to clena that up. You also could jsut use object >> path >> outline stroke, to get rid of stroke, so that acorabt is nto tryign to render them (whcih goes back to the beigginng of my post as I belive the pdf rendering of miter limits is at play here - no stroked paths, no miter limits).

Vector Circle Has Jagged Edges - Why?

I'm creating a button logo in Fireworks for print use and
wanted to use Vector shapes as I thought they didn't distort.
I'm working in CMYK at 300DPI.
So I start out with a white vector circle for the outer-ring
to the button using an Anti-Alias edge:
White
Button
Then I add the inner vector cirle, same deal as before:
Blue inner
circle
So far so good.
Now I add an outer bevel effect to the blue circle to give
the button effect and....
WOOOOOAAAAHHH!!!!
The blue circle's edges have gone jagged! What happened
there? I thought that Vector shapes retained their edges because
they weren't confined to tiny pixels. What's going on, why aren't
the edges retaining their smoothness once I've applied an effect to
the shape?

For now, if you recreate the effect with an inner bevel
instead you will
get rid of the jaggies. (softness = 7)

When rotating a simple black rectangle, jagged edges are created. How can I fix this? (for web)

I have been messing with a simple black rectangle and when I transform it, jagged edges appear. This is the base for a logo for web. I have anti-alising checked in pref. The logo looks horrible and blurry/jagged on the edges even when previewed on several screens from pc to mac. Any suggestions are welcome!
p.s. this is also happening with text, that has been made an object (top of text seen in the rectangle.)

I don't see anything unusual. That's the best anti-aliasing you can possibly get. Have you seen another black on white hard edge at the same angle that looks better? When comparing raster images make sure you view all of them at screen resolution which is 100% zoom.
Obviously anti-aliasing of horizontal and vertical lines is the best followed by 45° angles and at your angle it is one of the worst because with this angle you have less pixel lines to render it on the pixel grid of the screen. Also the pixels of each monitor screen are different sizes and if you happened to be viewing it on screens with relatively larger pixels the aliasing will be more noticeable.

Jagged edges around inserted jpeg images

Hi There
I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 in Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
When producing pdf's using Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 with the setting on high quality the images produced have very jagged edges (Jaggies) especially around logo's & imported images, not so much on text.
This has also been reflected in material that has come back from an external print job.
I had this problem on my olf pc & believe the fix for this was located somewhere in the advanced section of properties menu but i have not been able to find it.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Darren

It's best to try the smothing. In some cases with smothing on its too extreme and you go from Jaggies to Fuzzy looking Type. Sometimes so bad that its actually looks better with Jaggies, any thing below 8pt should not have font smoothing. In Acroabt it's all or nothing.

Imported images have jagged edges when scaled down

Perhaps I'm missing something really obvious (like the quality thing in the After Effects timeline), but I imported a Photoshop image, a logo, scaled it down to 15%, and it has jagged edges. Ditto for a TIFF version of same. Starting resolution is plenty large.

You can adjust the apparent size of the image in the "media" tab of the property inspector. Select the photo in the media bin (not the layer in the timeline), then the media tab in the insepctor.
try reducing the size of the image to the size you are scaling it to (of course, you'll have to adjust the scale property of objects in the timeline which use that image). for example, if the image is 1000px wide, and you're scaling it 15%, then adjust the media size to 150px and restore the scale to 100%.
YMMV but it's worked well for me. sometimes adding a slight gaussian blur helps (<.25). it would be more effective to scale in an image editing app (like photoshop) to the desired size, but this is more flexible.

Jagged Edges help

I am kinda new to illustrator and would like to now how to do the followng.
Ok here is the logo for my site http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz323/smarto14/trailscotlandlognewgygy.png
How do I draw this so its smooth and there are no jagged edges.
I need the logo to be as high quality as it can be because it is going to be used for t-shirts.
Can someone help me out please
ps. If anyone feels like re drawing me this then go a head.
Cheers

>@ Ru: u drew it um: inaccurate anyway...<
I drew it inaccurately for a reason. I could have easily traced his file, but chose to do a clean offset of a not so clean file. You spent the time to verify that I didn't draw it accurately. Good for you.
>this forum isn't for free help or imagine what will become of it.<
This forum's sole purpose is tor people who use Illustrator to seek and receive free help. That's what Meatball14 received, and it gave him the info he needed to create it himself.

Jagged edges on vector art and fonts on R1900 using AI CS5 in OSX

OS 10.6.4 (Mac Pro 2x2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 12GB ram 1066 MHz DDR3)
Problem with the R1900 Printer and AI CS5
I have been using the same printer with CS4 without any trouble whatsoever for at least 5yrs. Beautiful quality prints without so much as itch and great color control...
In October I finally made the switch to CS5 and my printing capability goes to hell.
Quality printing straight from AI to a non-postcript inkjet printer such as the R1900 doesn't seem to be an option anymore...
I get jagged edges on vector art and fonts. I do graphic arts/logos/prints and this is a huge issue...!
Apparently I have to save my AI files as PDFs and print from there, but this poses extra steps, troubles in sizing, colors, page set up...
I mean nothing beats being able to print direct from AI... I cannot understand what the problem is all of a sudden.
At home I have a late '06 Mac Pro running CS4 and printing successfully to a C88 epson inkjet printer under OSX 10.5
What is the matter, please help, this is cramping my style and performance???
thank you
JF

Ok this would not be a problem with 10.4.11 on a Power PV Mac but on an Intel Mac running 10.6.4 or running anything above 10.4.11 on any Mac you would need a postscript driver. Problem, there is no postscript driver for this model Printer this is actually a photo quality printer, that is what it does best.
So what to do the best one can do is to save the file as a pdf and print from Acrobat. There is no other way regardless of what one would like and expect.

Jagged edges using DVCPRO 50

yeesh.
We are capturing footage that was shot at 24 fps, 16:9 anamorphic standard def on an SDX900 camera using on DVCpro tapes, off of an AJSD93 deck over firewire. We capture with the DVCPRO50-NTSC codec, and have tried both 23.98 and 24.
and we are PLAGUED with these frames with horrible jagged edges. This appears to be an interlace/field dominance problem, but uh it was shot progressive. Any of you masters got any ideas?
below is the example frame

How do I get rid of jagged edges in Photoshop?

Can someone tell me how to get rid of jagged edges in Photoshop? I've tried using the refine tool and checking the anti-aliasing/smooth option, but neither appears to work. Here is the problem. I use Photoshop to create the images for heat transfers that I press on to T Shirts. In transparent mode, I cannot see the edges, nor can I see them once the transfer has been printed, but when I press the image on to a T-shirt the edges are extremely jagged. Also, when I add a solid blue background in Photoshop, I can see the edges. I am using the TW Cen MT Condensed Extra Bold font (140.13 pt).
Additional Questions:
Are there fonts that inherently behave this way when stretched?
Are there fonts that hold up more consistently when stretched?
Will rasterizing the image resolve this problem, or at least give me a higher quality image when stretched?
Is there a way of using inches instead of points for font size and if so, where do I change it?
Is there anyone out there who uses Photoshop to create text and images for T-Shirts? If you have the answer to any of my questions, please respond ASAP. It is extremely important that I be able to get consistent results clean, smooth images that transfer well onto fabric. I am attaching my text image on transparent background, as wells as a solid blue background. You may have to zoom in on the gold and black image to see the jagged edges on the fabric.

You have AA set to None in the Options bar is my guess. Use whatever option looks best, but never use None.

Images imported from QT exported image sequence have jagged edges

Hi
I've come across something strange which I'd like to resolve.
I export an image sequence from QuickTime.
I then import this into Aperture.
But the images imported into Aperture now have jagged edges where there has been any movement in the original footage.
The images originally exported from QuickTime look absolutely fine when viewed with preview, they have the expected blurring on moving objects, but no jaggedness.
Now, a bit more detail.
The footage I'm exporting from was shot by me and came from a Final Cut Pro edit.
The codec in the QT movie is Apple Intermediate Codec and this is interlaced.
The jagged edges on movement look to me like the problem of interlaced not being converted to progressive.
However the exported images from QuickTime don't display this when viewed in Preview, it is only when viewed in Aperture that the jagged edges become apparent.
I have tried exporting from QuickTime to jpg, png and psd, but the problem is identical no matter which format I use.
I really want to now use Aperture to improve these exported images, but with this jagged edge problem I can't.

Hi JNorris--
Sounds like you need to apply the deinterlace filter (Effects tab: video filters: video: deinterlace) to the stills your exporting.
See if that makes a difference to start.

Saving Shapes to PNG Causes Jagged Edges

Hello,
I use a Mac and I have Illustrator CS6 and I've noticed something strange. I create shapes using the pentool. When I save the shape to a PNG with a transparent background, it looks smooth, however when I import and resize the shape it pixelates and it has jagged edges. I've attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean.
I'm wondering if it's a setting or something that I don't have turned on (or off). Or perhaps it's something else. I'm curious why this is happening. I’ve turned on the Anit-aliased Artwork and changed the ppi to 300…but to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated…but I’m new to Illustrator and have no idea, so please use detailed and basic instructions that a noob can understand.
Thanks in advance.

You answered your own question. A png is a raster image therefore resizing the image will pixelate it.

Jagged Edges after rotating a stroked image

I've have this problem a lot but I guess I'm just now getting around to ask about it.
When I have a photo in cs2-cs3-cs4 etc and I rotate it at an angle I get fine jagged edges all along the sides. It's becomes very pronounced in a stroked image even when I I stroke the image after rotation. The problem is more obvious when the image is not at angles like 45 or 90 degrees but more visible at in between angles.
Any suggestions?

What you are seeing is alaising, and it is inherent in raster graphics when the line to be shown is not parallel to the columns or rows of the image.It can be mitigated to some extent by antialaising, which softens the edges of the diagonal lines. When you select all of an image and stroke for a border, antialaising is used. With the polygonal lasso tool, you can turn antialaising on or off. Alaising is less apparent with very high resolution, but it can't be elilminated.
Here are triangular selections with antialaising turned on and off:
