So i write some text on to a picture and it never look sas sharp as i want it too, so if i zoom in a bit you can see that the DPI are not very good, very blurred, what can i do to increase this, so that even in a highly zoomed state, it looks very clear and sharp??

A vector image might do what you want. But pretty much all other types of images are going to be pixelated when magnified.

If you really have a need for a larger (zoomed in) version of an image similar to the one you provided, create it in the large size. Then show it zoomed down and allow it to be zoomed up to actual size. Just a suggestion.

Hey there,
Like 66stang66 states, that's always going to happen in Photoshop when you zoom in. Even if you were working on a super sharp vector shape (which is what text essentially is) at 1000ppi it will still pixelate when zoomed in. Tat's a function of Photoshop's previewing and not a true reflection of the vector outline/shape/path (text).

If you print it out at a good resolution you'll get sharp text.

Hope that helps
