Pixilated fonts

[Deezoo]

Although I'm not a techie, I've had and used Photoshop for about 25 years.

Recently I bought a new Mac and upgraded to High Sierra (if that's relevant).

I'm a pro photog and the other day, as I have done thousands of times before, I transferred my signature from one photograph to another (same physical size, same 300 dpi).  The signature in the new image was pixilated and all text has been since.

It's incredibly frustrating!  I tried different fonts, restarted, did the anti-alias thing, tried smooth, crisp....

I do not believe I changed any setting but I sure can't figure this out and my deadline has come and gone.

Any other suggestions would sure be appreciated.

Thanks.

Try resetting the preferences.

Thank you, Bob.  I should have mentioned that was one of the things I had tried, that didn't work.

Okay, you reminded me to try that again so I did and this time it worked!  Yay!

Thanks, Bob!

Hi Diane

I suspect that what happened when you reset Preferences, was that anti-aliasing for the Type tool was reset to its default.

This is with AA set to None, and what I suspect was your problem

And this with it set to Smooth (but any of the options would fix it)

Zoomed to 200% the difference is clearer

I guess, even though I thought I had reset it.

Thanks.
