newbie with a few questions
Hello, I'm a newbie, and firstly I'd like to say what a great community this is, and it's been really helpful to me. I have a few questions, if somebody wouldn't mind answering them for me... :)
1. What does anti-alias mean when using the font tool? Someone told me that you should use it if you're using non-pixel fonts, but I just wanted to know what it did exactly.
2. When I'm resizing a pic down to 100 x 100, it's often blurry. Sometimes I can use either 'soft focus' or a layer gaussian blur to combat this, but sometimes it still looks fuzzy and I've seen people successfully shrink the same pictures, so I was just wondering if anybody knew of other ways to make resized images look better. (by the way, I use PSP8)
