: Is there a way how to replicate the subpixel rendering look of Windows/Outlook/browsers in Photoshop? I would like to replicate the antialiasing made by my browser in photoshop. Look at this

@RJPawlick971

As Yisela mentions, the sub-pixel rendering is from the OS/Browser, while PhotoShop uses it's own anti-aliasing methods.

That said, if you really want to replicate it, type out your text in the browser, style with FireBug the way you want, then screen shot, paste into PhotoShop.

Unfortunately, no, there isn't a way to, using the tools that Photoshop has by default, replicate the different browsers' rendering (note that all browsers render text in a distinct way). That's one of the reasons lots of designers create mockups straight in html/css, because of these discrepancies.

There are, however, Photoshop actions and plugins you can download to allow sub-pixel font rendering:
