My font always looks funny....

[jennyg]

Question for you all....My font always looks funny when I upload my LOs to a gallery. I create my LO..reduce it and save as jpeg to upload in gallery. Looks fine as 12x12 and then when I reduce the LO it looks funny..fuzzy..not clear, etc. What's the problem? Am I leaving out a step?

Thanks for your input :)

Hey sweetie...I have no idea but here's something you can try.

First, make a duplicate of your psd file...from your 'history' palette....and then click this button..that will make a duplicate layered file...

Then 'layer' and 'flatten image'. Then you can resize to 600 pixels...save to web..on high and you're done. That way the font is flattened..it doesn't have to rasterize itself.

Also you could make sure your font 'character' box has your font sent to 'sharp' too. :) HTH. :)

ok..I looked at it...can't figure it out.....hmmm...I have Photoshop Elements 6.0. I have an "undo history" box but it does not look anything like yours. You know..when I create a LO I save it as a psd file and then I resize and save it as a jpeg. I don't save anything "for the web"...maybe I am just approaching this all wrong when I save. I create as 12x12 and then resize to (document size 6.9x6.9 resolution to 72 ..pixel size is 498 and 498). I may be totally confusing everyone...but really want to figure this one out! I had that my journaling and titles always look so fuzzy!
