How to add clear looking / thin text in PSP X6

Post by tornadotail »

I'm trying to add text and save it as a jpg in PSP X6 - I know how to do it but how can I make it look clearer/thinner?

I can't believe I need to ask this question, it seems like a very simple task but I can't seem to figure out how to do it! I'm used to using Photoshop and it seems to be much easier!

I've created this using Arial (9 pixels) and the default stroke width (1) and not sure what else to do to make the text look less thick...

What settings are you using?

Easy answer is to set the stroke thickness to 0. If that doesn't work, maybe a thinner font.

How about foreground colour set to transparent.

Oh my god, I didn't think of making the stroke thickness to 0, I thought that would have meant having no stroke at all! I feel so stupid... just done that and it's worked out brilliantly, thank you :)
