Yep, looks good. Jaggies can be such a problem, fortunately there are ways of dealing with them.

VTdad, I'm not sure what BP uses, but I use either True Blur, Feather, or AA Assistant

Thanks VTdad. I use AA assistant a lot too, sometimes with some kind of blur, usually Gaussian. For my signature I followed Sarkut's Gold Metal tutorial. I get a nice outcome every time. Unless I miss a step.

I start off with 4 times the finished size (resize down later) & Gaussian Blur at 2 but I have used what Helen mentioned as well. Sometimes we need to use a combination.

If the jaggies are really bad you can also use a combination of Feather then AA-Assistant i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll50/vtdad/LetsGoHokiesshadow.jpg <<<< I missed this one. Very effective result Falling Skies ... i'm not usually into Sci-Fi but have gotten into this. I've got 2 episodes recorded I've got to catch up with

Well, I'm still around!! Most of my stuff consists these days of cropping. I'm no way near the level most of you folks are at with the artwork things. I'd "LOVE" to be able to do some things in metal textures, but I don't seem to have enough patience to get there. Is there a tutorial on how to make text have that whispy look. That's the only way I can describe it. I've searched and can't seem to find it if one exists. Anyway, hope all of you are well, healthy!! ps; oh on the jaggies, I'm using AA assistant, some blurs,etc. thanks all.

Hi there vtdad - long time! Well, I can't find a tute on Whispy text either. So, how about this from Yellowman on Youtube. Perhaps it could be adapted to make text? www.youtube.com/watch?v=kolJWafsz6g

That's a great idea, Pixey. And VTdad, how about using smudging or that's not something you're looking for?

Thanks Pixey, I'll try that. Helen, I tried the smudge and it's not quite what I;m looking for....close but not quite there.
Thanks all for the help!!
