Mess round text

Hi
I am sure this is a simple question but....
I am trying to make a pop up menu using words and css and so
on and got really stuck and fed up. SO I thought, fireworks can do
this.
I have made a simple bar to show the problem I have - if you
look round the words that will form the links there is "Mess" - I
tried saving the jpegs at 100% but this is the best I can do. Some
of the words have anti-alias on and some don't.
Please advice - how can I achieve a cleaner look.
Many thanks
Edward

The choice depend on total number of colors in image. GIF can
hold up to
256 of them. If your image has very limited colors, and
mostly has them as
solid color areas, using GIF for logos will be preferable.
JPEG was
created for gradients, photos and stuff. It always produce
some artifacts,
that are less visible in smooth images and much more
pronounced in high
contrast sharp detailed ones, like black and white example
you provided.
Still, if your image contain both smooth transitions and
sharp text, JPEG
may work better than GIF because GIF will ruin the smooth
transition,
causing banding. In this case, minimizing JPEG artifacts
around text by
using Alex suggestion (selective compression) is a good idea.
One thing
I'd like to add to it: your selection for "high quality" area
should be a
bit larger than the text, covering some "low quality"
background as well.
The reason is that JPEG compression work by blocks like 8*8
pixels (or
16*16, depending on subsampling), and compression quality may
vary only
between blocks, not within one single block.

  • Strange borders round text boxes

    Take a look on this interactive map
    http://edu.com.pl/nabor/ using
    Flash Player 8 and Flash Player 9. In 9 there are strange borders
    round text boxes. Don't know where the problem might be.
    I don't see any smilar problem on my other Flash
    sites.

    PD,
    The outline of a Text Box is termed a "Stroke" and is set in the Graphic Inspector. There you can set a plain border or a styled one, like a picture frame, etc., or none at all.
    The fine line around the text box that you see when you select it is just for your reference when editing and won't print.

  • Line on the left; Patterns in objects; Boxes round text

    I produce teaching materials which have to be printed in grayscale, so I need lots of ways of distinguishing items (different kinds of headings, lists, boxes, etc) without using colour. A few features seem to be missing in this regard, but pls tell me if I just haven't spotted them yet:
    1. I want a vertical line or 'bar' down the left side of certain kinds of text which automatically lengthens as lines are added. It's possible in Table but that's quite annoying as cells don't automatically split at the end of a page.
    2. Objects, such as boxes of text, can be filled with various patterns - lines, spots, etc - in Word, but I can't find an equivalent feature in InDesign CS4.
    3. I want boxes round some headings. Para Rules and Underline lets you put lines above and below but not at the sides. Is there a way of getting them without creating a new frame, pasting the text in, and anchoring the box?

    May be useful to disable the "Track changes" feature

  • Rounding text size to nearest whole number?

    I've had to rescale some artwork, but now I'm left with type sizes that are 71.68px tall, 34.51px tall, etc.
    Is there a script that'll snap all the text in a document to it's nearest whole number or 0.1 decimal?

    // rounds the size of text in all textFrames in your document
    var aTFrame = app.activeDocument.textFrames;
    for ( i = 0; i < aTFrame.length; i++ )
    var fractionSize = aTFrame[i].textRange.characterAttributes.size;
    var RoundedSize = Math.round(fractionSize);
    aTFrame[i].textRange.characterAttributes.size = RoundedSize;
    redraw();
    This will do all the text frames. Copy the above, paste it into a text editor or the Adobe ESTK (ExtendScript Tool Kit) and save as a plain text file with a .jsx extension. Place it into Applications/Adobe Illustrator CSX/Presets/en_US/Scripts folder and restart AI. Run it by having a document open in AI and call it from File>Scripts>scriptname.

  • Captivate 5 Messing up Text in Captivate 4 files

    I am able to open my Captivate 4 files from CP 5 but all of my text styles, position, and indentations are messed up. Also Shift enter no longer works in Captivate 5. I do not want every line to have bullets when I use them.

    Hi there,
    I have seen issues with Shift + Enter in Adobe Captivate 5 as well. The Adobe Captivate 5 text engine now uses Points rather than Pixels (the units of measure used in CP4) which might explain why your text styles etc are experiencing problems. That said I would still recommend that you report this issue to the Adobe Captivate 5 team using the web address I have included below.
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=5
    Best regards,

    Having the same issues. The Point over Pixels would explain a lot except for the fact that it seems there is a very definite creep on the indentations. CP5 seems to get extra indents during conversion. Occasionally instead of picking one single indent level for each level it gets a creep of extra levels. It's simple enough to fix except on the occasion where you cant pull the indents back to the left margin properly. I have a feeling that it could be a mix of font sizes and styling and where the text that was pasted in was origionally sourced.
    If Shift + Enter doesnt work put an extra bullet where you want the gap and then turn that bullet off. Feature enhancement would be to allow setting of paragraph spacing on top of the much welcomed line spacing.

  • Photoshop CC messes up text colors, layer effects and whole layers?!

    Hello
    I was just working on several documents when something strange happend - out of nothing the appearance of fonts,layers, backgrounds etc changed. white color turned black. some layers had total different colors ( bitmap layers, no shape layers) - everything looked really messed up. I thought its some display bug in photoshop cc so I saved my document and restartet everything - fun thing -> it did save with these alterations.
    Whatever happend, I have the problem in 2 documents, i can't reproduce it - one was a pretty big psd file - the other one was a fairly new one. thank to timemachine i was able to recover my file but as of now I'm kind of scared what happend - did anyone encounter this bug? Can i somehow provide more info on that topic?
    Retina Macbook Pro 15, OSX 10.8.4 and newest photoshop CC via teamcloud.
    Thanks

    You may have hit CMD I and inverted the colors. Move your cursor over the image and see review the values in the info palette.
    If they are reading correctly to what you see on the screen your image is altered and posisbly doing an invert again would restore you.
    If the colors are reading opposite, then you have some sort of display issue.

  • Software Update for Z10 messes up texting

    Did the software update for my Z10 yesterday and now my texting doesn't work. This has happened before. Looking forward for when I can trade in all the Blackberrys in our household for a different phone!!! Too bad! I wanted to support Canadian made but it's **bleep**!!

    I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader OS Reload:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Read a text file before knowing the encoding

    Hi,
    I've wrote a AppleScript to adjust time delay of *.lrc file(txt file but different extension).I only got a messed up text, in other aspect, it works well. I understand applescript read the text file using the wrong encoding, but I can't just set the encoding to UTF-8, for it can be UTF-8 and it can be Shift-JIS, Big5 andGB18030 as well.

  • Problems rendering Every-line Composer texts with Adobe Media Encoder

    I find the text paragraph setting "Adobe Every-line Composer" a huge time saver when dealing with large amounts of text in after effects. I rarely have to do any manual tracking or line breaks to make it look good, as opposed to working with the standard Single-line Composer.
    The problem is that when I render through Adobe Media Encoder (which I'm forced to do since they removed H264-mp4 support from AE:s internal renderer) the text is treated like single-line composed text. So the final render doesn't look like my AE project.
    I've found two solutions to this problem:
    1. Render a lossless video file in the AE renderer and then compress it with Media Encoder. This takes more time and HDD space, and it doesn't allow me to continue working in AE while rendering.
    2. Only use Single-line composed text and make all adjustments manually, the old school way. This would not be a problem if I had not already used, and fallen in love with, the Every-line option.
    Is there anyone that can think of a third, and preferably better, solution?
    I use the CC 2014 versions of AE and AMC.

    No, the text doesn't animate at all. It's just a normal static text box. The text part is extremely simple. All animations are done in other layers and pre-comps, combined with pre-rendered 3D graphics from Cinema 4D, rendered as image sequences. My problem is a bug, plain and simple. Or perhaps you could call it a "lack of feature support" or an "incompatibility between AE and Adobe Media Encoder".
    My problem appears only when my AE project has text boxes with the "Every-line Composer" option enabled (press the menu button in the Paragraph window to find it), AND the project is rendered through Adobe Media Encoder, no matter which output format I use. I have no problems what so ever inside of after effects, or when rendering Single-line Composer text in AMC.
    So, the problem is that Media Encoder doesn't recognize Every-line composed text. Instead it changes it to Single-line composed text, messing up text tracking and line breaks.
    To clarify: the Adobe Every-line Composer is analyzing the entire text box instead of only the current line. That way it can automatically change the tracking of individual lines to better distribute the line breaks and build a better whole, avoiding those stray words on the last line for example. Extremely handy, if you could only render it.
    I never wrote anything about animating text or that the codec is related to the text problems in any way. AMC is the problem. The codec is only a secondary problem since its the lack of mp4 H264 support that forces me to use Media Encoder in the first place, instead of using the AE render queue as I did in previous versions of AE. I like many things about rendering through AMC, like being able to continue working in AE while rendering, but there are still way too many glitches. And of course, there's the inability to render flv-files in AMC CC 2014, and Adobe's inability to provide a solution other than "Use an older version of AMC". Flv is their own damn format for christ's sake.
    Well, enough rambling.
    To put it simple:
    Has anyone had a problem with "Every-line Composer" in combination with Adobe Media Encoder? Did you find a solution other than the two less-than-perfect ones in my first message?
    Thanks!

  • Mail attachments showing up as jumbled text

    Starting about a month ago, my school's IMAP account in Mail will randomly show just jumbled text when there should be an attachment, and I have to go onto the webmail server to download the attachment. It doesn't happen with my gmail POP account, so I don't know if it's a problem with IMAP versus POP, or a problem with the university's server, or something else.
    Any ideas on what I can do to stop this from happening?
    EDIT: I have the IMAP account set up on both my iBook and iMac. Oddly, I just noticed that one of the emails that showed the attachment as a jumbled mess of text on my iMac, showed up as the correct excel file attachment on my iBook. Looking back, this seems to happen every once in a while, but usually if one computer shows the attachment as jumbled text, the other does as well.

    I don't have an answer but I came here with the same issue. Everyone at my office (20 or so) uses Apple Mail with our Communigate Pro server via IMAP, but I'm the only one who consistently has this problem. I resolved it once by connecting from home over the Internet - all the broken mails fixed themselves by being re-downloaded. However this eats up bandwidth that we can't really spare.

  • Firefox pdf viewer garbles embedded text on some of our pdfs (on Mac OS Mavericks). They're fine in Safari or when downloaded. This is a major problem.

    Firefox pdf viewer messes up text on pdfs and makes them unreadable. These fonts are embedded, so there shouldn't be a problem. The pdfs are fine when viewed in Safari or Chrome browsers. Also fine when viewed through Acrobat. Telling me to change my default browser isn't good enough. Visitors to our web site won't know this.

  • How to create rounded corners for web site

    I am interested in any help with creating rounded header and
    rounded columns like at adobe home page. Whats the best way to go
    about creating a page with rounded text boxes, rounded nav bars,
    rounded logo box, etc..
    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Rounded corners in Web pages now can be done best with CSS3. A lot of contemporary browsers support them -- Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari. IE doesn't support rounded corners (not yet), but this will happen somewhere in the future...
    CSS3 rounded corners: a basic how-to:
    http://www.css3.info/preview/rounded-border/
    Of course, you can also use rounded corners in a Fireworks image, then apply the corners to the HTML elements via CSS; this will work in all browsers, including IE. There are a lot of tutorials over the Web which cover this topic, too
