Thanks to all of you that responded. I promise that I will post the
results of what we find as soon as she can compile all the suggestions and
put them to good use. It might be a couple of days, but I will post the
solution for future searches on this thread as soon as we have them. I may

Ray,
I've followed this thread this morning with my cup of joe, and seen some
great insight on some of the bigger issues with type and graphics. Adobe
Photoshop has never really handled fonts very well, especially with the
web image exports (which is best to port to Image Ready instead of the
The examples look par for the course as far as anti-aliasing goes with
that particular font. Thin-typed sans almost always come out that way.
Even more so when your drop shadow and color (blue/black) blend
together. try lightening the drop shadow, or change its color, adding
contrasting backgrounds

Hi guys...I am at home right now (my wife hates it when I work from home)
so I will answer all questions and try all solutions tomorrow and let
everybody know what happens. So far, it looks like there are lots of
things to try and if that doesn't work then we will just fire her!
J/K of course.
yes, dithering is the soft edges on some letters so that curved
letters like C or B will not appear to have jagged edges

My partner does all the GFX work for us. She tells me she needs more
information in order that she can help...
Firstly, in your example what font are you using?
Secondly, what version of Photoshop do you have?
If you have specific questions, send them off list and I'll pass them on!

A lot of it depends on the version of Photoshop you use. More recent
versions include more control over the anti-aliasing used which is the key.
My preference is actually to use Fireworks. In Fireworks I can not only

I'm no graphics expert either, but what I'll often do is create a text
layer and then clone it and overlay the clone over the original. I
might then lower the opacity of the top level some. I do this in
Fireworks and the effect is to sharpen the text in question.
