Pixel Perfection When Rotating, Pasting And Nudging In Photoshop - Smashing Magazine
Advertisement When creating Web and app interfaces, most designers slave over every single pixel, making sure it’s got exactly the right color, texture and position. If you’re not careful, though, some common functions like moving, rotating and pasting can undo your hard work, resulting in a blurry mess. But with some small changes to your workflow, you should be able to maintain the highest-quality artwork from the start to the end of the project. Pixel-Perfect Rotation If you’re not careful, rotating layers in Photoshop can damage them in a very noticeable, pixel-mashing way. When rotating layers with Free Transform (and some other tools) to exactly 90 or 270°, the quality of the outcome is determined by the layer’s size. In this case, the artwork is 20 × 9 pixels: even-by-odd dimensions. A Fix Because even-by-odd or odd-by-even dimensions are the problem, we need a way to ensure that the contents of the layer are odd-by-odd or even-by-even.

Le Point.fr se relift chez e-artsup
J'aurais pu aussi bien intituler ce billet par «Mise en page | typographie | grilles | presse quotidienne | principes fondateurs» Tout d'abord le prétexte à cet article… Le Point.fr se relift chez e-artsup. Oh ne croyez pas qu'il s'agit d'une commande. De fait il ne s'agit que d'un exercice graphique que j'ai donné à nos étudiants de quatrième année mais que nous avons essayé d'entourer d'un certain nombre de précautions. Tout d'abord le brief, puis le caractère professionnel des projets des étudiants. Ayant contacté la rédaction du journal en ligne du Point, c'est très gentiment qu'ils ont accepté de venir se déplacer dans le «bunker» underground, véritable laboratoire expérimental de e-artsup. Le présent article n'a pas pour vocation de résumer ici, ni le brief, ni tout le travail de benchmark que nos étudiants sont en train de réaliser. Mais revenons à l'essentiel. Les codes:

Le « nombre d’or », ou « divine proportion » est connu depuis l’antiquité et est souvent utilisé en peinture et en architecture pour harmoniser les formes géométriques. Depuis des siècles beaucoup a été dit et écrit à son propos, et en webdesign il est parfois utilisé pour dimensionner convenablement les différents éléments d’une page web ( voir mon article pour la présentation de la « divine proportion » ). Cependant dans la mise œuvre d’un site internet, l’utilisation du nombre d’or pour la construction d’une grille de référence m’est rapidement apparue contraignante et limitative, ceci par rapport à d’autres grilles fréquemment utilisées comme celle basée sur la règle des tiers ou celle basée sur la grille à 12 colonnes. Pour cela l’élément de base est une spirale construite sur la divine proportion : une « spirale d’or » ou « spirale de Fibonacci ». Voilà par exemple l’utilisation de deux spirales, et la grille correspondante, construite sur les points de tangence des courbes.
