why do fonts look pixelated in one file, not another?

Jul 13, 2012 6:07 PM

i made a cd cover in photoshop just fine.  opened a new file and made cd labels.  same fonts.  very simple.  but in the latter file the fonts are all pixelated--on screen and printed.  what in the world could be the prob? both files are 8.5x11 tiffs.  black and white.  so simple yet so wrong!

    You mentioned the physical size but not the ppi or pixels. These two factors can play a role in the quality of your image.

    Marking this as a helpful answer - the OP must have marked his own cry of relief as the correct answer
