gist901 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I guess it is called bleeding, but here is what I am having an issue with. I have an Text that is the form of an Image. The text currently is in Black, but they want it in RED. So I use the Wizard Tool Select Each Letter and Fill with red. The Image is about 10x bigger than the picture I am to insert it ontop of, so I resize the Text image, it looks good, Save the Combined images as a JPEG, then when I open the JPEG, the RED does not look sharp, or is bleeding. Any Help would be appreciated. Thanx Gist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Why not create a new layer over the background image and retype the text in red?

gist901 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 The image is written is copyrighted text in which we could get it from corporate, but it would cost use to much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 gist901, To avoid the bleeding save as a PNG filetype. There is a loss of quality in the JPG filetype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gist901 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 WOW, the png file looks a whole hell of a lot better!! Thats a great idea, I saved the template itself as a png, then tried applying it over the jpg file and saving as a jpg and it still looked bad. but then I tried saving the combined as a png file and the difference is amazing!! ideally it would be better to have it be jpg as it is going on the internet, but I will see if this will work. Any way to make the edges, and the overall graphics a little sharper?? I tried the sharpening tool but that is probably not what I want. thanx Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Roadkill Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 To clean up the edges you might try the alias and feather tools. Quote  My Gallery SAC, WOTW and Photo Manip Competition Host To visit the Comps click HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwicky Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 And if you want to shrink the filesize of PNG pictures (they are quite large in comparison to JPEG and GIF), try out the OptiPNG plugin if you haven't already! That will make loading times for PNG's on the internet quicker, especially in dial-up situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gist901 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 would I get better results (would the lettering and the text look sharper) if I was using Photoshop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJXD Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Yep, but i would assume buying the font your after is MUCH cheaper than buying Photoshop.
