Red Highlight state text looks like garbage

I have a project that my client wants to have his text highlighted in red. The font used is fairly broad and clean (no sarifs) but when in highlight state which is red it looks terrible. Its almost like its not covering the whole white text behind it. I've tried making my own overlay menus in photoshop to fix the issue but it looks worse. Is there a trick to this? I don't have this problem with any other color.

If you have done it with other colors (same overlay) probably does not mean there is an aspect issue, otherwise I would say that is what is happening (when you said it is not covering I thought you may meant shifting.)
If it is shifting then check your workflow for the overlay (did you use Photoshop preet for the ratio?)
If it is not that shift it may be bacause of the colors used in the overlay/mapping out over the background. Did you render all effects and text? If there a way to post an image to see what is going on?

  • Why does my 3d text look like garbage?

    I have been trying out the repousse feature in cs5 and my extrusion is pixelated, rough, jagged, or any other word you can use to say garbage.
    Here's what I've done:
    Typed my text.
    Selected: 3d > Repousse > Text Layer...
    Left the settings alone and clicked okay.
    This is what I get:
    As you can see, it looks like something made in Microsoft Paint then resized fifty times.
    I've tried my OpenGL settings in Basic, Normal, and Advanced with the same result in each.
    My graphic card is an NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX in case it might be the problem.
    Besides for that, I don't know what to try or what settings to adjust. Any ideas?

    Looks like your Quality is still set to Interactive... try changing the Quality on the layer settings to "Ray Traced Final."  Otherwise you will see that pixelated edge.

  • Why does my text look like gibberish?

    Hello,
    I was on iCloud.com and logged in and found that me text looks like this. Someone at Apple having a bad night. I get those now and them. How do I fix it? Or is it just Apple done goofed? Any and all feedback is MUCH APPRECIATED!!! Thank you!!!

    Try going to Applications/Font Book and validate your fonts. It appears a system font may be corrupt.

  • Is there a way that to make text look like it is being written on the screen?

    I once saw a tiltle (using the font edwardian script) that looked like it was being written on the screen.
    I tried using the linear wipe transition, but this does not make the full effect i want.. for instance, when you make a letter "t" in cursive, you start at the bottom, then go up and then down and finally cross the "t". the wipe just went from left to right....
    thanks

    I have done this for several Titles, using Photoshop and a Layer Mask, that gets "erased," revealing the letters. My Titles were of "handwriting with chalk" on a blackboard, so I could keep the edge of that Layer Mask, looking more like the "chalk." Photoshop also makes it easy to output Layer Comps for each "step" in the handwriting process. IIRC, I did about 5 Frames per Layer Comp on Import, but do not recall if I used an extremely short Cross-Dissolve Transition between those - I intened to do so, but just do not remember if I liked that, or went with just the Still Images? Will try to find that animation, and maybe create a full tutorial of the process. In my case, I also added an SFX of chalk on a chalkboard.
    If you have Photoshop, it's really quite easy to pull off.
    Now, I do not know if Photoshop Elements has Layer Masks yet, which make it so very easy to accomplish. One could do it backward, where the Text Layer gets Erased, and then one would have their full Image as the last in the sequence, and then the next would have a little bit of the Text removed, then a bit more, then a bit more - going backward, until the "writing surface" is clean. One could also do this with a Transparent Background, so that one saw the Video below, and no actual "writing surface" visible.
    Good luck,

  • Style Applied to Text makes text look like it doesn't fit

    I have typed text heading in InDesign CS4
    and then applied a subtitle headding to it.  when I do that it momentarily looks like it doen's fit and I
    see gray image background around the words.  I think this has something to do with leading? or
    what?  i enter a couple of times and type more text, then apply a body text sttyle to that
    and that text seems ok.  It is just with the headings?  How to remedy althought it doesn't seem to
    hurt anything?

    A screen capture would be very helpful for a case like this....
    Is there a drop shadow applied, perhaps as part of the style?

  • Text looks like it is bold when viewed online in browser

    I have a site with a black background and white text.
    When I create it on the desktop using plain Verdana it looks fine but when I post it all looks like it is bold.
    Actually all the text looks bold no matter what font.
    Any thoughts anyone?
    My thanks in advance.
    Kris

    Thanks...APPLE please fix this problem immediately....you say that your site will look "exactly' like it does on your desktop.....not so...please fix this right now...It was the reason I upgraded to iLife8
    If anyone is listening please fix this...I know it is a couple of keystrokes somewhere.

  • Settings for a 1280 x 720 video (720p) that doesn't look like garbage?

    I've been toying around for a while, but I can't seem to find a decent method to render my 1280x720 video that doesn't look like crap.
    I've switched between several video types (mainly avi and mov), but I can't find a suitable method.
    I am a total noob to this stuff and though I'd prefer to use a .mov or .avi file (since any PC can pretty much play them), I need some good setting to output a quality video.
    All of this stuff about bitrate/pixel type/etc, I just have no idea what I'm doing.
    I appreciate any advice.

    See: FAQ:What export settings should I use?
    You will also find links to many free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.
    Cheers

  • Photos look like garbage after iOS4 upgrade?

    Every photo I had on my phone that looked good now looks like low resolution crap after this 4.0 'upgrade". All my wallpapers are pretty much unusable now so I'm going to snap a black sheet to use it's that bad.
    Anybody else experiencing this?

    I noticed my battery drains fast as well. My son was using it for 20 minutes playing games and the battery disappeared quick. I have tried shutting it off, then back on and disabled a few things. I am so far wondering why I even bothered to upgrade. Especially since mine is only a 3G. Will see...

  • State to look like another, but not based on it?

    Hello all, I've a strange request about view states
    I have a state that initialises a datagrid on load and that
    works just fine (it shows open issues)
    Above there is a link button to show closed issues, I tried a
    new state based on open issues but the code didn't look right, so I
    created a new state based on the base and then copied all the code
    to remove and add children.
    All that need to happen is that the datagrid in this state
    needs to display one extra column (and different data!)
    But I get this error: -
    Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time
    Id
    In initializer for 'states': type mx.states.RemoveChild is
    not assignable to target Array element type .
    <projectname>/src <projectname>.mxml line 257
    1223502361318 179
    The line itself is the middle of these three: -
    <mx:State name="issues_board_closed"/>
    <mx:RemoveChild target="{regUsersLabel}"/>
    <mx:SetProperty target="{currentIssues}" name="y"
    value="85"/>
    Anyone ever copied viewstate code to another before, had any
    issues?
    Thank you, Mark

    Yes it is fixed. Unfortunately I had this on before figuring out the answer. FYI the method applies on this too. Photos are not different. They are rec in which increasing the width forces the fill (image) to scale up.

  • Can I Import H.264 Video Without it Looking Like Garbage?

    I realize that FCE is made for DV, but I've got some nice footage (shot in BetaSP and digitized in a pro edit facility) that I want to import. The original looks really great, but whenever I import into FCE or transcode to DV using QT Pro, the footage degrades so badly that I can't believe it - it's truly not usable.
    My clips are currently in .mov files in H.264 (720x405 res). I have to be doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated!!
    MB Pro 2.2GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   2GB/160MB

    Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert it to Apple DV/DVCPRO NTSC or Apple Intermediate Codec. I did this recently and the results were very good.

  • Help me-Export HDV to WHATEVER looks like utter garbage!

    Hi,
    I'm currently on FCP Studio 2, latest software updates, Tiger, PowerMac Dual Core G5.
    I'm editing HDV 1080/50i material. Like all HDV, there's a few spots where you can see chroma noise but overall the footage looks quite good.
    Now, what I used to do (in FCP 4.5 and 5) is export to Uncompressed HD 25p 1920X1080 and use that as my master for whatever later compression/tape dubs I would need to do. That workflow was excellent and my Uncompressed HD master was 100% to my HDV footage in my FCP timeline.
    Now, first of all, I don't seem to have Uncompressed HD anymore in FCP, only Uncompressed PAL/NTSC which defaults to SD resolution. Second, no matter WHAT I use, the video that comes out look like garbage. The whole frame is littered with gigantic squares and colors look lie, a bad gif. I did exports to targa image sequences and they are the same.
    What the ****, is this normal with FCP 6?! Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks

    Paul Riggott does not visit here these day and his site was hacked his new site is http://www.ps-bridge-scripts.talktalk.net/
    He has many fine scripts there some for saving layer to files.  One ot them may do what you want. It also may depend on how adjustment layers would be saved to a file for they don't contain pixels all the is in and adjustment is data I believe what type of adjustment should be made and the setting are recorded in the layer.

  • Text looks blurred on Samsung display

    Hi,
    So, I have just gotten a Samsung SyncMaster TA550 for Christmas. I have it connected to my MBP13 mid-2012 (2,5GHz i5, 8GB of RAM, Intel HD Graphics 4000) with a HDMI cable and a Dr. Bott HDMI & DVI to Mini Displayport adapter.
    The display looks absolutely fabulous as long as watch videos, but text looks like crap, all blurry, and gives me headaches, not matter if it's text I'm currently writing (in pages or online) or the song list in iTunes for example. The problem is: I mainly wanted to use this display for writing. Also the bars in pretty much every programme I've used so far have this strange grey blur to them.
    I'll attach screencaps of both text and video on the screen. You'll see the grey blur in the safari window.
    I toyed around with resolutions and practically all the display settings in OS X and the display itself - nothing worked. It looks slightly better when I change to 720p instead of 1080p or 1080i using underscan to fill the display, but that's not what we want, right?
    Currently it's set back to "Best for display" and a 60 hertz refresh rate.
    I thought that maybe the adapter (which wasn't a particularly expensive one) might be the problem, so I have now ordered a HDMI to Mini Displayport cable that had good reviews online. It might take a few days for that one to arrive though, and I was hoping that maybe I could solve the problem without having to use that one.
    I hope you'll be able to help me, cause honestly, this is getting annoying.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sabrina
    Strangely the screencap looks good on my MBP's LCD...

    I have been switching from PC to MAC for the last couple years. One of the last bones was my desktop computer which had a SAMSUNG 29'' HD monitor.
    Last friday I bought a MAC MINI and connected it to the Samsung thru HDMI. I had almost a breakdown when I realized the blurry text from the OS X against the crisp and bright text from the Windows machine. I started to investigate without any luck until I came across this post. Thank you MissKillALot, you save my day! Finally now I have a monitor working like it should, and no more PCs at home!!!
    P.S. No wonder people keep ditching Samsung equipment: For the HDMI - DVI PC port to work properly you have to "RENAME" the port from HDMI to DVI PC. Rename? Who thinks that by "renaming" some port it will actually change its properties? Is this on purpose to annoy the user?

  • Why does this text look a little different in Firefox?

    Look at the difference between Firefox's text and Konquerors. (Firefox is on top, Konq on bottom)  Firefox's is rather... ugly; konquerors is how the site is supposed to look.  Why is that, and how can I fix it?  Firefox looks fine on pretty much every other site except that one, but I go there often and the text looking like that is bothersome haha.  It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice to fix if I can but I don't even know where to start.

    Firstly, I too think, that Firefox displays the page in a better way. Tahoma is amongst my favourite fonts.
    ConnorBehan wrote:Why is the (5656 viewing) part only in the Firefox screenshot?
    Easy explanation. He displayed both pages shortly each after, this is why under Konqueror there is one more posting. He is using Firefox as his primary browser I guess, therefore Konqueror has him not marked as logged in. Only logged in users have the information displayed, how many users are viewing some particular subforum.
