side question: Even though it may not be the best timing, it is the perfect place. What causes those "sqirmy little bumps" around images in pictures? I get that when I do photoshop a lot and I hate it! You see up there...aroung the text, the gun, the dog... (?)

much help, much thanks

I always called that jpegification...it is compression distortion.

I call it 'raster' because it happens to my eps files as soon as rasterized, even before I save them. And always, always the text.

it's a result of something called "anti-aliasing"

see wikipedia's article

ironically. this is something related to graphics design...

full circle, once again.

hahahaha

anti-anti-aliasing it's called to be sure

Didnt really get it Soulikeit:) Do you mean that its your position right now after tooo much graphic design versus architecture, which is better or tougher..correlation or differences between etc etc questions and people's saying stop answers:) I love dogs by the way and cant stand to see dogs next to guns even its a good graphic design

The bumps are caused by the .jpg format... part of the compression format it uses. In Photoshop, the best way to avoid this is to save in "non-lossy" formats, such as .psd or .tif (with lzw compression to at least lower the size a little). *Especially* if you're saving the same image over and over in Photoshop, you should use one of these other formats, because .jpg (re-)introduces it every time you save.

I also know of .bmp as being lossless, but there's no size advantage over .tif if you use lzw compression with .tif.

Did Soulikeit get into the AA?
