What are the secrets to sharp fonts in Elements 4.0?

Hello,
I am searching for tips and tricks on how to render sharper and more elegant fonts in Elements. I always select anti aliasing but somehow it never looks as finished as when I use a publishing program like Quark, for instance. I am hoping there is some hidden potential in Elements 4 that I haven't discovered yet :-)

Th emain thing is to pay attention to th esize/resolution of the PSE document. 300ppi is a good number to think in terms of. Any fuzziness comes about when a text layer is "simplified" to pixels. The more pixels you have, the cleaner the edges will be. It's not a question of "hidden potential" - it isn't hidden at all. It is just a matter of appreciating the process.

  • What are the keyboard commands to apply outline elements

    I'm unable to bring up a list of keyboard commands that can be used to apply outline elements such as Scene Heading, Action, Character, etc.
    Is there a quick reference list available, somewhere?

  • Tell me the secret to sharp edges.

    Hi guys,
    How do i get a sharp edge each and every time.  I am using the rounded rectangle tool to draw some tabs.  At one time it gives me sharp edges and some other time the edges are blurred.  An example HERE
    Why is that so.  What is the secret to sharp edges all the time.

    Please read through the thread linked just below. The answers posted by Buko and Zeno are on the mark, but I took a little more time explaining what's causing the fuzzy borders you're seeing and why the "Snap To Pixels" option fixes it.

  • What are the installed fonts that come with  Premiere Elements 13

    Anyone Please
    What are the installed fonts that come with Premiere Elements 13
    and If I download the trial and then convert with a purchased, does the trial have all the fonts and themes and add-ons, more that the disk version.
    I have a new Mac, and it does not have a DVD drive, but I can get one need be.
    Thanks

    The Premiere Elements tryout should have all the features of the program. But, remember that Premiere Elements Mac does not necessarily have all the features
    of Premiere Elements Windows.
    Premiere Elements Windows uses Windows fonts.
    Since I am strictly an Elements Windows user, I am not sure of the details of Mac fonts. Not sure if the following will help.
    Mac OS X: Font locations and their purposes - Apple Support
    Fonts on Macintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Based on the Windows model, I would suspect that Premiere Elements Mac will use the Mac fonts of the Mac system.

  • What are the Settings for DefaultFreq as YTD...

    Hi Experts,
    If I want to set “DefaultFreq” as YTD, what are the settings I have to do.
    1) In Application profile (Time Periods, View, and Periods).
    2) In Scenario (DefaultFreq and Default View).
    And also the load data file format.
    Pls explain me in detail.
    Thanks in advance
    Sai

    Hi Sai
    1. When you are creating the frequencies in Application profile for MTD, QTD or HYTD Frequency, System Automatically creates the YTD Frequency.
    So no need to do any changes for Application Profile.
    2. Create a scenario name with YTD, like Actual,Budget...
    In Scenario Dimension mention below details.
    Member- YTD (YTD is Scenario name)
    Description –YTD Scenario
    DefaultFreq-YTD
    DefaultView-YTD
    ZeroviewForNonadj-YTD
    ZeroviewForadj-YTD
    DefFreqForICTrans-YTD
    3. To Load the Data into HFM Select the Scenario: YTD and Period: *[Year]*
    Select the Proper POV to load the DATA.
    Scenario:YTD
    Year: 2012
    Period:[Year]

  • What are the best practice in report design ?

    Hi,
    According to you, what are the best practices in report desing about layout, fonts and colors ?
    Thks

    Hi,
    It all depends that what type of report you are designing and what tool you are using - WebI or Crystal.
    And in WebI, if it is cross tab or Tabular report etc.
    One most important thing is that what is client requirement. May be client does not like which is best practice.
    On the base of my personal experience I will create few demo reports using different options - layout, colors and fonts and show them to client so that they may decide.

  • What are the best disc doctor tools

    Okay, my G5 is running like a Commodore 64! It is SLOW and freezing all the time! it freezes on iPhoto, Mail, ..... just about anything actually to the point where it won't force quit and we are having to hold down the old international reset button.
    What are the steps to go down. I've run the standard TechTool tests which seemed to pass okay. Can somebody give me the process to go through here...
    I haven't Loaded any new software recently, nothing dramatic has changed on our Mac... it started to slow down so the only changes I have made is to move alot of gear off our HD and onto a external drive.
    We have 191 GB free, 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM. Please... I am about to throw this out for a new computer but feel a computer with this much grunt should be able to be salvaged.
    Please help!!

    The most important thing to do is backup your data as my FAQ explains:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    Next check that the problem isn't occuring in a second user in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts.
    If it is, then you have a system wide issue. If you have a system wide issue, the first utility I'd try is Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    Next if that doesn't work, verify disk. If verify disk reveals errors, boot off the 10.4 installer disk to repair disk as my directory FAQ explains:
    http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
    If the directory is good, try running Macjanitor:
    http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/macjanitor.html
    If you still don't have the problem solved, go over this FAQ on the fonts:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607630
    If you still haven't solved the problem, then I'd ask if you have ever seen a kernel panic with no third party peripherals attached. Here's my FAQ on kernel panics:

    If you have, I suggest replacing the RAM.

  • What are the best practices for generating an EPS logo from InDesign?

    Our costomer is running into technical issues with the logo we sent them, which was exported from Indesign. Images were not embedded and fonts missing. I was able to embed the images and fonts. However, we DO NOT want them to be able to make any text changes. So after exporting an eps, I opened the file in Adobe Illustrator and made all the text outlines. I hope this works. But I just wanted to post the question on what are the best practices for doing this?
    The client needs the logo with transparent background, images emebdded and type in outlines. Also, they need some space around the text. When I exported the eps, the file is right up on the edge of the type.

    It sounds like you are pretty far from "best practice" with regard to logo design and delivery.
    These days, the very use of the EPS format should be considered bad practice, and some other terms in your post, (i.e., 'images,' 'missing fonts'), make it sound like there is not a seasoned logo designer involved.
    That said, you probably already got the advice you need to get out of the immediate jam. However, without proper logo design, you and the client will soon be facing other problems. You should be delivering a 100% vector graphic in single-color (black) and corporate-color(s) versions, with no live font data, that has been test-scaled to very small and very large sizes; ensuring it will work at postage-stamp size and on the side of a truck or building, with specific spot color(s) and proportions that will enable it to be offset printed, embroidered and screen-printed on apparel, and cut into signage materials and decals.

  • Re: (forte-users) Ok, what's the "secret" for setting serverside envi

    Dear Robinson,
    It seems to be that you have 2 ways of solving the problem:
    1) restart forte after setting the environment variables
    2) write a little application which sets the required variables, using
    the task.part.OperatingSystem.SetEnv(name,value) method.
    If you have to chage the variables rarely, then it`s easier to restart forte,
    otherwise I would suggest to use the SetEnv function...

    Richard,
    There is no way of changing the environment variable once the Node
    Manager is up. You will have to shutdown the node manager and then restart
    it to have the new environment variables take effect. Sorry, there is no
    secret way of doing this that I know of.
    But you can set the variables on you development machine and run you
    application without distributing. This way the partition will be running in
    your client machine and not the server.
    Another way we have also got around this is by having a special
    environment variable on the client side that opens a admin screen when you
    run you application. This admin screen will allow you to change the
    environment variables and then set them on the server partition. You will
    have to do come coding on the server to make this happen but if you are
    using a framework then it should be easy. We call this developer reconnect
    facility. It only can be activated by the special client side environment
    variable. I comes in very handy when we are development and want to change
    the database on the server partition.
    Hope this help.

  • What is the secret to creating 3D interactive objects?

    Recently, I touched a "squishy" 3D object on a game on an iPad, and now I am wondering: What are these objects and what is the secret to creating them? I am interested in adding some inheritance to my current 2d sprite objects in Visual Studio.
    When I begin programming for iPhone and iPad, will such objects be standard graphics components?

    The printer is an HP Photosmart C6280 all in one and it is connected by a USB wire. The HP devices show up on the dock but I can't seem to print from there.
    Thanks

  • Settings...what is the secret

    i have had a heck of a time generating HD clips that will play in QT on my own computer without "staggering,"
    i can down load an HD movie trailer from apple (armored) that is bigger (1920x912 vs 1780x720), in millions and at 24 fps (mine is 30). the trailer plays, as far as i can tell, flawlessly. both in H.264.
    what is the secret? what are they doing that i am not?

    tom, that is what i think too, but darned if i can figure out what. spent about two hours on the phone with FCE product specialists at Apple that last two days, and they weren't ready to guarantee clean running. one suspected underperforming hard drives. what really distresses me is that i can see some of this staggering inside of FCE where it shouldn't happen.
    i took an exported clip to another machine at a local connecting point store and the staggering still happened, suggesting that it was embedded in the clip somehow. i can scrub the clip in QT using the right arrow key held down and all the frames appear to be there, but when running, every approximately four seconds, it staggers.
    i created a separate boot drive with a fresh install of leopard and put only my video card drivers and FCE on it. disconnected everything except the firewire to the camcorder and the USB for the keyboard to try to isolate the environment. it still happened. before i even put the video drivers in, i played the exported clip. every four seconds i got a horizontal distortion that moved from the bottom of the clip to the top. after i installed the video drivers, this became the stagger.
    tomorrow i am going to a retail store with my camcorder to capture the same clip there and see if there is any difference. i don't believe it is the camera as i can hook it up with HDMI to a HDTV and it plays fine. i suppose there could be a firewire problem in the camcorder.
    i am stumped and frustrated.
