Hello,
Can someone here shed some light? Is there any secrets ways or maybe some actions for getting very tiny text with very nice and clean edges using CS5? |

Try one of the the sharpen filters.
Small text creates bad results due to low pixel count per letter. |

Use a bitmap font.

hi,
to me that always been a huge problem with photoshop...and i don't see no difference as far as text between my old cs1 and cs5 ... i generally wll do my stuff in photoshop and then use my printshop for the tiny text stuff... which seems to do a better job...
i don't have a vector program other than parts of printshop is vector, but other people tell me that with a vector program it much better than photoshop ...
you might want to look at these two articles
http://cogniance.com/expertise/research_papers/creating-pixel-perfect-text-of-small-size
http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/sharptext/sharptext.htm
some of them i tried... withmixed results , i have not played around too much with the kernalling and tracking that mentioned.....
for tiny print... i do believe you need to pick the right font... a font that has thin lines to begin with not going to have much luck to me better use a font that has thickness to it and not curvy... |

Use a proper font designed to be used at small sizes! Perhaps something like a Bitmap Font
Sharpen and struggle all you want, but unless you use something designed for the job....
If you insist on using a non bitmap font, I would turn off the aliasing options.
