their were two other pages in the test you now, well anyways font's setting need to be set to smooth not sharp and centering needs some work.

i just wanted to post the first one so i can get feedback to do the other ones.

centering vertically? i think my horizontals centerings are fine, but i purposely centered the vertical a little high because i thought it would be easier to read that way. i guess not, so ill change it for the other two. ill try my best!

Yeah, vertically. You set the text a bit high.

i recentered everything to the mid. but i still cant find the softening thing on GIMP. ill do test 2 another day. feedback on this one plz ^_^

Spoiler:

Ugh, GIMP...that's the issue here. TSing with GIMP is a real pain. Cleaning is harder than with PS, but manageable. TSing is just a pain. Tbh, your TSing isn't bad. It's actually good enough to join imo, but ya. I've used GIMP so I can tell that the sharp issue and high placed text is from GIMP, but we obviously can't have that.

thats good to here. i know i can do better if i have a better program. if i get in, ill see if i can find a way to get PS or is there some other program you guys would recommend.

*cou-thepiratebay.org-ough*

Basically all we do is Photoshop.

you forgot to set aa to smooth<.<

yeah, i recently used GIMP for my tsing, and the sharp thing wont dissapear, it comes and goes, but it always comes back and never goes away when you want it too. use PS, never use gimp for TSing. its a pain in the ASS. aside from the, i noticed a one word line there, not too good, try to make the first and last lines the shortest. aside from that its just your centering and word wrapping that need work.

here is my attempt on test number two. this time i used photoshop (shout out to setsu) instead of GIMP. hopefully, you guys find this one more visually pleasing (this one was harder with all of the double bubbles). rate it.

edit: photoshop didnt smooth the "wild word" font as much as i thought/like even though i did set it to smooth. what is the main writing font style you guys use?

set it to smooth.. and for "TL not.." i think you should make it smaller and use different font for that part..our font size is 12px..make it smaller if the bubble is too small for 12px..
=D
but u dont have to listen to me..
im not that good either

one last run at typesetting. i restarted the first test, this time with PS. i cant seem to set the smooth font as default for some reason, but i did reclick on smooth everytime i started a new set of text. maybe thatll help with the font? hopefully...
EDIT: i just cant seem to be able to make the font smooth... any advice?

Spoiler:

there... where it says "Abrund..." it should say something like round...

mine always starts off with "none". i do click on "smooth", but the result is the same

thats weird..did u change the mode to grayscale?? i like how u make the text looks round*if u know what im talking about*

i tried a couple of tests where i started off with a blank sheet. when i do set it onto smooth and typed, it works! but when i opened up the NA page, it did not work. i think i isolated the problem and that is with the blank sheet, i can add layers which gives more freedom to change text. on the NA page, it is restricted and i cannot add layers. i will look more into it.
