Title: Have I got a clean edge?
Post by: Red Dove on October 14, 2015, 05:12
I've made my first basic vectors using the shape tool in Illustrator but I'm not sure if I have a clean edge - especially on larger curving edges created by using the elipse shape. In the EPS file they look clean at 400% - However, in the JPEG which I save at around 4000 x 4000 I see a slight fuzziness on the curving edges when I view the original size....although this could be the pixellation of the moniter screen

1) Am I checking at the right size for both the EPS/JPEG?
2) Can I expect to see a slight jagged edge for curves during inspection at 100%
3) If not is there something I'm doing wrong or am I being overly fussy?

Would appreciate your guidance please. Here are a couple of 100% crops from the JPEG

 This is the basic image before I add any gradients etc

They look good to me. 4000x4000 is a good size...it seems to keep the bad reviewers at bay.

Being ultra fussy I can see the point where the vertical lines of the window go into the curve of the top of the window, there is an anchor point there and I would want to just pull the arm of that anchor point up vertically, holding down Shift to constrain it, so you get a perfectly smooth transition into the curve.

You're absolutely right. I'll sort it. Cheers
