(+) Yeah! (+)

Sometimes, when I move a character's name near the bottom of a picture's border, the lettering will distort. I have no idea why, but it's pretty annoying and makes for an unsightly look. Does this happen to anyone else? Any way to fix it?

I'm using Photoshop CS3.

Never had this problem. Can you post a picture of the text in the center vs it distorting near the border?

I'm not sure, but you could try rasterizing the font layer and then moving the now-only-an-image-layer?

Focus on Jill's name. The top pic is the way I want her name to look, but I'd like to move it down. The name is moved down in the bottom pic, but as you can see, it's now distorted. Look at the letter "J" specifically. It looks kinda funky now, and all I did was move the layer down a bit by adjusting the Y-axis.

Hmm... there's no distortion if I just use the standard Move Tool (I can magnify the picture for greater precision). Still, I'm wondering why adjusting the axes with the Ctrl + T method distorts things.

I've never considered using anything other than standard move to move layers around >_>

I just zoom in a lot if needed.

But try rasterizing the font layer and using your fancy-axis-move?

Rasterizing not necessary (if even possible) since I didn't generate the font in photoshop. It's basically just another image.

So, what do you guys think?

You know Jill Valentine is not a real person and you'll never be able to date her, right?

looks great, maybe just slide nem's face to the left a tad so the text/mouth aren't touching.
