This is the first article in a two-part series on the difference between average and professional graphics. These are not necessarily simple and they may require Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, but I assure you that using these methods will making you happier with your creations. Anti-aliasing: To understand anti-aliasing, you have to understand aliasing first. Aliasing is the "stair-step" effect that makes the edges of curves and angles look jagged. When you use Anti-aliasing (an option offered with many of the tools in Photoshop) you get smooth lines and curves. Aliasing is something that will immediately be apparent in graphics, something that will make the graphics and text look more amateurish. Feathering: Feathering could be described as the softening of the border on a selection. Photoshop offers degrees of feathering from 0 (no feathering) to 16 (a very soft edge). What "soft" means in graphics terms would be the transition from one image to the next is very subtle (10-16), somewhat obvious (5-9), or plainly seen (0-4). Feathering is extremely useful with collages and seamless backgrounds when you don't want seams and breaks between pictures. |
