Jagged edges on rotated text in Flash

Does anyone have a good solution for getting rid of jagged edges on rotated text? I have tried the anti-aliasing options but nothing seems to change the jaggedness.
Any advice is apprecitated.
Thanks!

I don't know if this is the problem, but I've seen some display anomalies when using the scroll wheel on the mouse (typically sideways scroll, but it happens with vertical sometimes, too). I know Logitech mice are affected, but I don't believe it's resticted to just the Logitech mice. Im most cases switching to the Hand tool (use the keyboard shortcut Alt/Opt + Spacebar to access it temporarily) and clicking will clear things up again, sometimes for the rest of the editing session. When I see this, though, it affect all pages not just one.
Does the type clear if you restart ID and reopen the file?

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:

How can I get rid of "Jagged Edges" on the text in FCP?

Hi guys,
I am running FCP5.1 and I have a still image (.jpg) of a consumer product with the name of the product and the description on it.
When I view it in the viewer or canvas, I see jagged edges around the name, description and the product.
Even when I use the FCP text tool, I still see it.
Can someone help me out please?
Thanks,
Zia

what is the resolution of the image? highlight the jpg on the timeline and press option(apple)+9... this will bring up the item properties window... about half way down on the Format page you will see Frame Size... what is it?

Images have jagged edges when rotated in Keynote 6.1

After upgrading to Keynote 6.1, I'm having problems when rotating images that I've imported to my slides. Any time I rotate an image that's not on a 45, 90, 180 angle, the image has jagged edges.
Here's a screenshot as an example. The image is on 4 degree angle.
Any ideas?

Sorry, in haste I forgot to mention this also:
Use an appropriate slide size, as a minimum resolution I match the slide size (Keynote > Inspector > Setup Slide Size), to the resolution of the display I am using, in my case 1920 x 1200.
I always resize the images I bring into Keynote with the same pixel resolution as the slide size.

How do I make a 3-d rotating text in Flash cs4?

Hi, Thunder BoomCat PowWow here.
I'm a student in this Virtual Enterprise class and am in charge of learning flash and making a kick-butt commercial for our firm: Uncommon Ground.
I was wanted to make some text rotate AROUND a sphere in flash (the sphere is going to be a picture of the earth).
I want the text to go in one direction, wrapping around the sphere, and appearing on the other side like it went all the way around.
Can anyone tell me how to do that using Flash?
Thanks in advanced,
TBCPW
Sole employee of the media department

flash can't make 3d objects. cs5 can make 2d objects that move in apparent 3d space but that's the limit of flash'es capabilities.
however, there are other programs that can be used to make 3d objects and then animate those objects in flash.

Jagged edges on rotated picture boxes

It seems as though it's a bug. As I rotate imported images the outer edge and hard edges in the actual images are noticably jagged. As in the example. Any suggestions?

Agreed, but there's more to it. If an image is opaque and unrotate it can be output as a JPEG. If that same image is rotate 5 degrees, the current Muse output will still be an unrotated image, but with the original image rotated 5 degrees within the new image. However, the new image now has transparent areas and thus must be a PNG and will be ~5 times larger than the original JPEG. That means slower page load times.
The preferred approach (and our plan) is for Muse to move to using CSS to accomplish the rotation. This will allow the original JPEG to be downloaded since the browser will be performing the rotation. However, the quality of the resulting image in the browser will depend on the quality of the rotation algorithm the browser is using.
So, even once Muse has changed to use CSS for the rotation, it will still be up to you to decide whether you want the quality of pre-rotating images prior to placing them into Muse and the slower page load times associated with PNG images, or whether you want faster page load times and image display quality that will vary from browser to browser. We may at some point offer this option from within Muse, but it's relatively far down on the priority list at the moment.
Regarding re-linking, right-click on the image in the Assets panel and choose "Relink..."

Jagged edges on some text in all view modes

Hi there,
I'm very new to InDesign and have trauled this forum for an answer to my question and tried lots of fixes but to no avail.
I have an 8 Page A5 document which I am working on and all was fine until yesterday. Any text I now create on a certain 2 page spread has a slight jagged edge around it, even when zoomed to 100%. When exported in PDF it is smooth again, but it just doesn't look very good when working on the document. All other text still is smooth.
I have anti alias on and high quality display performace switched on. The same happens in preview mode.
The first image of the same text is on the affected page and the second in on an unaffected page at the same zoom, 200%. You can see how much more jagged the first is. I have tried placing the text in it;s own separate layer on top of the other layers as suggested in other threads and I have made my display driver is up to date, which it is.
Any ideas?

Jagged edges after rotation

Hi Everyone,
I am try to rotate an image and put it on a background image. Image is being rotated successfuly but jagging appears if i use an small angle to rotate. I am also setting the Antialiasing using Rendering hints...
Please respond.
Thanks,
Masood
Following is the Code:
RenderingHints renderHints = new RenderingHints(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT);
renderHints.put(RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING, RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY);
int value = 5;
int angle = (float)(value * (Math.PI/180.0F));
out = new BufferedImage(bsrc1.getWidth(), bsrc1.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g2 = out.createGraphics();
g2.setRenderingHints(renderHints);
//draw bg image
g2.drawRenderedImage(bsrc1, null);
at = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(width1+86-34,height1-30);
at.rotate(angle,612/2,486/2);
g2.drawRenderedImage(bsrc2,at);
g2.dispose();

It's not an antialiasing process, it's interpolation. Try setting the interpolation key to bilinear or bicubinc - though the results still won't be ideal.
If that's not good enough then what you could do to get a fully smooth edge, if you're prepared to lose a pixel or two round the edge, is this:
- rotate the image
- create a quarilateral Shape which forms a rectangle around the new four corners
- turn on antialiasing
- using a stroke the same colour as your background, with a width of say 2 pixels, render the shape
This should give you a smooth edge but, as I say, you will lose a pixel or so round each edge, which may or may not be acceptable.

How can I get rid of "Jagged Edges" in FCP from .psd/.tif/.tga text files?

Hi guys,
I posted this once before but don't know if anyone looked at it or not.
I am getting "Jagged Edges" in .psd/ .jpg/ .tif/ .tga text files
when I edit them in FCP5.1.4.
What is going wrong?
It is getting very frustrating for me at this point.
Can someone help me out please?
Thanks,
Zia

The usual questions...
Have the clips you're looking at been "fully" rendered?
Are you looking at the computer monitor or an external broadcast monitor?
You can't judge what you've got unless you look at FCP output on a broadcast monitor.

Jagged edges on text

My text has jagged edges after I render in FCP 4.5. This also happens when I import files from After Effects and Live Type. I recently lost all of my sequence and render settings, so my thinking is that it's one of those settings. Any ideas?

By default FCP sequences are in the DV codec which looks as if it loses resolution when viewed on a computer monitor. If you're outputting your video to an NTSC monitor via firewire, DV should look fine ... you must be looking in the Canvas.
(DV doesn't really lose much resolution on computers ... if you open a DV video file in Quicktime & go to Movie Properties-->Video Properties, you can select "High Quality." The Powers That Be at Apple so ordained this setup because computers used to have trouble playing back full-resolution video at 29.97 fps ... not really the case nowadays but they keep playing DV at "low quality" by default.)
If you change your sequence codec to Animation it will look sharp & crisp. But be careful, Animation files will eat up space on your scratch disk like CA-RAAAAAAZY. So either you need oodles of space or short animations.

Cant rotate text properly in Flash MX

When I rotate my text in Flash with the transform tool, it will ONLY export out as a animated gif file not as a swf, or html. The text will appear missing. It looks fine in the fla file, now when I dont "transform" or rotate the text, it comes fine as a swf file. I also noticed the rotating tool in my properties is grayscaled out.
Help.

If you can explain how I could properly embed this, that would be cool but I dont think it's that. I've tried the other fonts in Flash and same thing. I'm also having actionscript problems too and I think It's my Flash software. I just think that it kind of weird that something your working on in the canvas is not outputting what you see and everything is connected right (that I'm aware of)
Thanks.

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.

Round borders are not round but jagged edges above flash content

My JQuery dropdown menu shows round borders when mouse over.
It looks fine on IE & Chrome, but it has jagged edges above flash content on FF16.
My code is "border-radius: 8px 8px 8px 8px;"
Please, take a look at my screen shot and help me to fix this issue.

Thanks for the reply valf - you can see a trial version of the page here http://www.banded.co.uk/festighoul_trial.html
Notice that there is a large empty black div at the top of the pagewhere flash content should be playing... The tool tip trigger is nearer the bottom of the page (a graphic of a '?')
Thanks

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.
