Question

Anybody knows how to fix pixelated text in Photoshop CS 5? I've tried everything I can think of. I haven't rasterized the text and the anti-alias is in sharp. It's happening with all my fonts. Even resetting the workspace doesn't change a thing. Thanks in advance for the responses.

Also what viewing % are looking at the text with. Other viewing %'s besides 100% (actual pixels) can make the text look pixelated in photoshop

even thiugh it's not. (double click on the zoom tool to see 100% (actual pixels) view.

Do you have open gl enabled, which can help make things look smoother on the screen at views other than 100%.

Let's rule out "display," as a cause for what you are observing. What is the monitor resolution?

It might be helpful to also list your video adapter (make/model), and your display driver (number/date).

If you Save to say TIFF, and then Open that in another viewer, is that pixelation visible there (it will have been Rasterized)?

Good luck,

Don't ask me how, but apparently the problem is fixed. I may have solved it without even noticing when looking for a solution myself. Thanks for the responses though.

The the problem has been fixed, is great news!

While it would be nice to know the cause, "fixed" might be, as good as it gets.

Good luck,

It's happening with any resolution and pixel dimension. Even in 300 dpi.

What resolution is your image? Also what pixel dimensions is it?
