Newbie643 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 hey, for some reason when i make a document below 1000 ish px the quality doesn't seem that good (im a complete noob, sorry if this is a dumb question) This is a 512 x 512 px document and when i make a shape and fill it, it looks fuzzy around the edges (this happens when i add a picture too but the whole picture is fuzzy instead of just the edges) These are the settings i used, did i do something wrong? or is it supposed to be like that Sorry again if its a dumb question, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 500 pixels is rather small. A monitor is typically 1920 x 1080, so only a quarter of the width. For litho printing, 500 pixels is only just about good enough for a 2" wide picture. Newbie643 1 Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

toltec Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Draw a vector shape. You can draw it one inch wide, print it one mile wide and the edges will still be smooth.

toltec Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Draw it as a shape and if you export to JPEG it will be flattened to pixels on output. one 512 pixel shape, as a JPEG Newbie643 1 Quote Windows PCs.
