when writing with the pencil tool smooth arc sections in the hand written text are converted into a series of short arc segments which makes the hand writing appear as though it were written by a shaking hand. is there a fix or setup to resolve this?

Allan,

I think this is because PSE is a rastor program, not a vector one. The image is comprised of a grid of little, teeny, tiny ‘boxes’ (pixels). Lines on the diagonal are actually built like steps. Make sure you have ‘anti-aliasing’ option ticked in the box near the top. PSE is not the best program to use for text, period.

If you are viewing this zoomed in, perhaps it is not as bad as you think when viewing normally.
