Arse

The blur really kills the look of the text. I'm using Steelfish. I've tried what you said, fiddled with it a bit, and it's really blurry. Ergh, that didn't work either. Thanks for all of your help, guys, but this isn't working out. Moving on to another program

Sorry for the late reply. The canvas was about 330 by 100. I've tried making the image huge and resizing it, but the problem is Magic Wand causes all the jaggedness. The same thing ends up happening.

I set the tolerance to 8%, followed your history and method exactly (using inverted selection), and it turned out like this. Anti-aliasing was definitely on How can I smoothen the edges, then? It seems like others are having a much easier time, and I think they're all using the Magic Wand.

Yeah, the text is on its own layer, and I've used the 2x size thing, but the result is the same cause the magic wand. Feather and AA's assistant isn't really helping either. Every plugin I've tried adds a very noticeable blur.

I'm making some text, selecting the text with the magic wand, and applying a gradient to the text. The problem is, the text comes out looking jagged. I know about the feather and alias plugins, but they don't seem to work well for me, as they just blur the image. I've fiddled with the tolerance on the magic wand, and it doesn't fix the problem. It seems to deal with straight letters easily. Curved letters are a big problem, it appears. Antialiasing is on. What can I do to make it come out smoother?
