Sure Magick thanks:

As you can see... well it's hard to see but the printer can see it lol... but the photoshop version caption3.jpg has a more sharp edge rather than caption.jpg which is smoothed enough for the nexpress to pretty much throw whitespace in the text.
Also before it's even looked into, the smaller the font's get the more blurry they get in IM, they seem to stay crisp and somewhat smooth in photoshop.
Edit:
forgot the font:

Re: Rasterized Text
We get nearly identical results with:
- convert -size 500x500 -background white -pointsize 94 -font corbel.ttf -gravity center -fill black label:'Hello World' -quality 99 caption2.jpg

Re: Rasterized Text
Umm, text needs to be black, background needs to be white.
I don't understand what you just mentioned above.
Changing the background back to white, and the fill to black... give's me the exact same look as my original code.
Original Caption:

Your Caption: (with white background and black text)

Photoshop Caption:

As you can see, original and your's looks EXACTLY the same... while Photoshop still looks more crisp.

Re: Rasterized Text
Your Photoshop image is CMYK. ImageMagick renders in RGB. You can then convert the image to CMYK with color profiles if you want CMYK.

Re: Rasterized Text
I edited my post above.
Not worried about color profiles... just the (how should i say, too much smoothing/rasterization) is what I need to figure out.

Re: Rasterized Text
Perhaps you are using an older version of Freetype. We're getting nearly identical results to Photoshop.
Re: Rasterized Text
We're using Freetype 2.3.11 and ImageMagick 6.6.4-9.

Re: Rasterized Text
hmm, so maybe the latest freetype version isn't the greatest?
I will downgrade and see what I get.
I am running 6.6.4-8, were any changes made on how text is rendered in 4-9?

Re: Rasterized Text
ugh, downgraded to 2.3.11 and I'm still getting the same results. Strange!
Okay, I guess my last option I can think of is:
A. Is there a few options to perhaps make the edges more crisp like the photoshop image?
or
B. Is there another application/library I can use to overlay an image created with ImageMagick with text (perhaps vector?)
