like the 50x50 button on the rainbow fountain weblist?

@tabi yes, or the ones found in my guilds page! I figure that some blur in the images is inevitable but I'm mystified over how people manage to get the text to look so crisp! https://inkcaps.neocities.org/links/guilds/

The font used is likely pixel font at a setting that doesn't smooth the font out. I forgot what the setting is in Photoshop and I use Photopea now.

Hm... images are tough but when resizing you can try "nearest neighbor" or sharpen. I would try resizing the image first and then applying the small, pixel font and see what it looks like? This is so that you don't resize both the image and the font at the same time or it might mess with the font.

Resize the image to 50x50 and then zoom in and apply the pixel font that way.

Found the font settings lol. I haven't tone anything type-wise in photopea yet lol. When you're adding font, there's settings for "none", "sharp", "crisp" etc. You can find which one looks best for you, but I usually use "none" when I use pixelated fonts which keeps the edges sharp if I remembered correctly.

Really sorry for the infodump asdfghjkl;' I... have a Photoshop history lol. But that's how I applied the pixel font on my web buttons for example. That's just how I did it though. ;w;

Soulbox is right! Resize and crop your img first then add the font then sharpen. Mess with the sharpen settings cus they all do look slightly different and see which works for you. Try to use an anti-aliased font too

i use photoshop and then gimp to animate!! if you want i can make one for you~ just lmk what you want in it! :3

@soulbox @pom thank you so much guys, your advice really helped! In the future I think I'm going to sharpen and mess with the image quality after adding the text and border. Here's what I came up with--concrit would be really appreciated!! ;w; <3 I think the text needs to come over to the left more but let me know what you think! https://inkcaps.neocities.org/gf/codes/mabeltest.png

@tabi aww Tabi, your offer is super sweet but I would feel bad taking you up on it! I'm making codes for a fanlisting so a lot are required. ; __ ; but thank you though!! If I need help or advice I'll reach out! <3 <3

i think it just needs some sharpening to make it a bit less blurry but otherwise, it looks really good!

@pom I made another and sharpening really did the trick! Thank you again for the help!! ♡♡ https://inkcaps.neocities.org/gf/codes/Mabeltest3.png
