How to Export Banners and other Graphics
with Sharp, Crisp Text.
By Frank


Quick workaround for exporting pix for banners.

WebPlus and PagePlus both suffer quality problems when exporting as image files, particularly when the images include text.

Also, any text effects applied can often alter the dimensions of the exported image. Converting text to curves can work reasonably well, but text will have a slightly fuzzy look - not sharp.

One easy way to overcome this minor limitation of the programs is to create your artwork in PagePlus at the exact size you want it.

When your done with the design, do a print preview at 100% and then capture the image with something like Snagit. the result is far better and sharper.

If the image requires any further tuning or sharpening, you can use the editing tools in the screen capture program.

I use this technique for capturing page spreads made in webplus and page plus for ebooks and the result is perfect every time.
