VectorCat Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Does Publisher 2 for Mac have a limitation which Designer 2 does not have in terms of keeping type sharp no matter how much you zoom in? In Designer 2, live type is crisp no matter how far I zoom in, but in Publisher 2, live type gets jagged at 150% zoom! and to be clear, what I mean by "live type" is type which has not been rasterized or converted to curves, and is selectable and editable AS type. Thank you for any clues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorCat Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 🙃 Photo persona. Switching back to Pub persona restored the razorness of the type. Thank you. But, why wouldn't type in Pub persona still be sharper than that in photo persona? 150% isn't that much of a zoom factor. Does Photo re-interpret type at screen rez? Thank you again..

Make two documents, use whichever common paper format you are used to (Letter size or A4 size), one at 72 DPI/PPI and one at 300 DPI/PPI. You'll see the difference.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
