Re: [Gimp-user] Text looks rough
RSA - On esuggestion: Be sure you create the banner and its text at a high enough image resolution. It may be rendered as fuzzy or jagged if the text's bit-image is enlarged substantially for printing or viewing (in contrast to vector-based graphics). I had this problem when I started out. - John Mills On Tue, 26 Jan 2010, RSA wrote: When I make a web banner that is only text it looks great in GIMP and in my web page maker.

Thanks. I thought there was some relationship between px size and final result but figured I was doing something wrong.

Does this really also happen when you have a file that's never been saved to gif, i.e. has never been downgraded to 256 colors?

What I do to solve the problem is make the PX count large using GIMP and then shrink it down on my webpage maker and it works out nicely. Translated- it shouldn't have to be this way.
