Working
with Small Text
Sometimes we need to get that text really small to fit right on an image or web button. Most fonts look horrible or hardly readable when sized down really low. I tend to like that "grungy" look on some of my web buttons, but there's times we want it really clean and readable. Well that's what were going to do here. This is one way to clean up small text. Please make sure you know Photoshop well or other pixel base program before you do this, as I will have to skip some details because it would just take to long other wise. Getting Prepared |

![]() My text looks pretty good, but those "P's" and period's don't look very sharp to me, they look blurred and jagged, I really don't want that. |

![]() First let's make a New View.
In Photoshop Go to View>New View. By doing this, we can
see the same image at the normal size while we work on the zoomed in version. A New View
is not a new file or image, its the same image your working on. When you make
changes to the zoomed in version, you will see your New View update as well, This way we
can see if it looks right. |
