Well pitched and put together IMO but the thing that always irritates me about services like these is the so-so font rendering. Screenshots taken on macOS just look better for some reason. As an aside, I've always found it weird no other OS has got text rendering quite as right, it's a key part of why I stick with it.
- laktek 9y agoThanks Peter (I'm big fan of Cooper Press). I actually tried to make the font rendering better. Installed few custom fonts and also tweaked few system options. I agree it might not be crisp as macOS. Wonder if hardcore Linux desktop enthusiasts have any tips here?

- petercooper 9y agoTo be fair, I am being very picky :-D Given that most people will be using this for testing or scaling the images down, the differences will likely be hard to pick out in everyday use.
- softwarelimits 9y agoThe opposite is true - I wonder every day how Mac OSX users are unable to see how bad the font rendering is on their screens - the fonts are garbled like a bad jpeg. On the same hardware with any decent Linux distro like Ubuntu I get perfectly rendered fonts!
- petercooper 9y agoI guess there's a "different strokes" aspect here, as I have heard similar complaints (and in both directions). I must be in the Steve Jobs camp of aesthetics :-D
