preview and render shows gray edges to jpg graphics

[Graham Bernard]

There a couple of initial issues with that artwork you’ve got to take onboard:-

1) It’s not got enough resolution, I can see pixelation on straight edges.

2) The design itself is working against smooth edge panning, it’s just too thin that the low reso will work against your best efforts.

So, what to do? Get or increase the resolution. Rethink actually doing a pan. Or if you are fixed on the idea of doing a Pan, then take a massive blowup of the logo, soften/defocus let this Pan behind a static logo. This’ll establish movement and can look rather effective.

But I think all your efforts are being hobbled from the start by using a low reso artwork. You’ll need to clean up some of those artwork “edge” line remnants, far left and right of the logo?

Not what you were wanting to hear, but it’s all a learning process and this is one of occasions.

Cheers

What is the size of this particular jpeg image?
And what is the resolution of the project you are
using it in?
