Okay, I need help.
I've been trying so hard to figure this out by myself, but I can't.
The problem is that I love the small text effect. People have told me to use Minion, or Arial, or whatever, caps locked at font 8, 10, and smaller with 'Sharp' as the selection for the anti-alias. So I do. And it doesn't look as nice as the small text effects that they do on their own icons. So I play around with the sizes, the fonts, and the anti-alias options. I even try doing the drop shadow effect right behind the letters to make them "stand out" more.
And nothing works.
The fonts look decent enough, but not as good as what I've been seeing elsewhere. They always turn out a little bit blurry, or too small, or too skinny, or it's just ugly overall. The nicest I can get it to look is demonstrated with the current icon. *points*
Please help me? I'd greatly appreciate it because I'd really, really like to use the small text effect. I use PS 7.0.
