Also consider using a Font designed for a small face. Some fonts look crisp and clean even at the smallest of sizes.
In most cases, Photoshop should never produce blurred text.

As suggested earlier, I would also try Fireworks as well. We purchased the Adobe Web Bundle which has all the Adobe software as well as Macromedia Studio 8. Even though we have the Adobe flagship, Photoshop, I still much prefer Fireworks. I only use PS because I can resize and crop photos in one step. Since Adobe now owns Macromedia, there won't be anymore Adobe v Macromedia battles. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Ray Champagne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 1:47 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: text image clarity I'm asking this on behalf of a co-worker who is getting frustrated with something. How does one create "crisp" text images in PhotoShop? We have a nav bar that the text gets all fuzzy, no matter what settings we use (anti-aliasing Crisp, Smooth, etc). He also claims that he has Googled this topic and hasn't come up with anything that goes more in-depth than "Photoshop provides anti-aliasing options like Crisp, Smooth, etc. etc.." Anyone have any advice on how to do this in a sure-fire way? We also have Illustrator and Fireworks, if those do the job any better. I know that this isn't a graphics forum, but you guys are geniuses at everything else, so why not graphics.
