It is most likely due to anti-aliasing that pixelated text appears in Photoshop. A smooth edge to an image or text can be achieved by setting this setting in Photoshop. By selecting this tool, you will be able to blur the edges of your text, making it appear smoother. The appearance of some texts is more pixelated than others.
Your text looks blurry when you are editing it because it seems like your document is currently at 400% zoom 🙂 Just double click on the zoom tool to get it back to 100%: Share.
It’s obviously not an OS issue, as text blurriness afflicts Windows users as well as Mac owners. I, for one, am disappointed that you cannot zoom in to see text better without it falling apart as if it actually was pixels.
How to blur an image in Photoshop?
The Blur tool in Photoshop works like the Paintbrush tool. Select it from the left toolbar and paint blur onto your image. You can use this tool to soften edges and precisely apply the blur. Open your image in Photoshop.
You see, i sometimes work with Zbrush and the blur tool while painting in that program has 10 to 50 times the strength that the Photoshop tool has. THAT is how it should be. Users shouldn’t have to make a selection on the section of the picture that they want to blur on, add a feather on the selection and then use the Gausian Blur filter.
This of course begs the inquiry “Why is my blur tool not working on my image?”
If it is used on the wrong layer, it won’t show any difference in the image getting blurred. It stays the same and you might think it is faulty. You can check the layer selected at the bottom right of the application. The highlighted layer is the one. When choosing the correct layer, the blur tool will start working automatically.
What is the blur tool?
The blur tool allows you to convert your image to a smart object so that you can add effects without permanently changing your original image. In short, the blur tool allows you to do something creative with your image.
I’m running CS4 and the blur tool is no help whatsoever. I didn’t think it was working at all initially then realised that it’s effect was simply so slight as to be negligable. I’ve wasted a lot of time over this and would really appreciate any tips or decent workarounds.
Path Blur lets you determine the shape and speed of the blur effect. With this tool, you can simulate the look of a rear sync flash. This is a flash triggered at the end of a long exposure, freezing the motion at that point. Spin Blur creates a rotating blur around points that you select.
What should Adobe do to make the next Photoshop better?
That brutally lacks user-friendliness and efficiency. Adobe should rework the next Photoshop to have a much, much stronger blur tool. If the user wants to have a weaker blur with the tool to emulate what the current blur tool does, they would only need to put the tool strength at 10% or less.

Why is my image size so low on my screen?
1 Your resolution is too low. Click image, select image size, and raise the revolution. I usually set it around 300. Share Improve this answer Follow answered Sep 2 ’15 at 3:21 lynzelynze 1111 bronze badge 0 Add a comment | Highly active question.
