Ah ha.. 21 jaggs exactly. And yes I do have very good eye sight...
I still don't understand why Overture seems capable of creating angled
lines without these jags...and why the scanned bitmap also looks better
to my eyes. to me the scanned bitmaps looks like a nice photocopy. A
little smeared out, the edges are not sharp..but there are not "jagged"
edges. My feeling right now is that perhaps the natural smearing that
occurs while scanning it actually creates a more pleasing edge then
what PS can do on a 300dpi printer because PS will try to create a
razor sharp edge that has to be stair-stepped this way. But with a
higher res printer, the stair stepping effect would be reduced to a
point of not being seen, while still mainting the sharp edge. My
honest opinion would be that with a 300dpi printer a better PS RIP
would smear out the edges a little bit for the sake of hiding the stair
step effect...at least for angled lines. but no matter...it doesn't
work that way and I have a new printer coming anyway..![Smile :-) :-)](/styles/default/custom/smilies/smile.gif)
The overture angled line output looks sharp though. I have already
uninstalled that app, but maybe i will install it later and try to see
what it looks like again. Its just confusing to me why Overture makes
nice angled lines with clean edges and finale does not.
thanks for your feedback..the 21 steps at least helps to know there is
nothing else going on here but an old lame printer.
