First of all, I could not find anything matching my problem, probably because of the lack of better keywords.
I created a word with the Text Tool and rasterized it for cropping and editing. But now the text appears to have a weird gray “border” around some parts.
You can see the difference here, as I have added a solid colored rectangle next to the part with the “border” (on the left size is the rectangle).
Answer
I cannot really follow your example in the image. However, the problem may be due to anti-aliasing which exists in the type and in the rasterized image. When rasterized the anti-aliasing may become stronger and more visible. If you have to edit your type layer in rasterized form, you may consider:
- Set it much larger type size than needed, say 144 points even if you need 24 points
- In the Type menu, change Anti-Aliasing to “Smooth”
- Rasterize this large text
- Do the edits on the raster image
- Then scale it down to needed size
This will make working on the text easier and hide small imperfections that may occur in the raster image editing by down-sampling it significantly. Of course, the best is to convert the type to a shape and edit it in vector format.
