HI Andy
First the easy question
" Also, when I create an element using Insert>Shape, do I change the line thickness to "none"? I used the default line thickness for my photo corner)."
>>I almost always delete the line unless the line is part of the design.
Now the harder one. Its not easy to answer without knowing exactly what you are doing.
I had a quick try just making a plain one and it turned out fine. No fuzziness or anything.
Try this
File>new then set at 300dpi and 2" x2"
Insert > Shape> triangle,
Format > Resize Object to fit canvas> stretch to fit
Remove line
Duplcate triangle ..drag smaller than original (change its colour if necessary so you can see what you are doing)
Group triangles
Effects>Filters>All Filters >Metal:Bas Relief
colour as desired - change light position if needed.
Done
Now when I have finished those steps it looks fine to me and when I put it on a 12 x12 canvas it still looks fine
Try the above and then let me know if you are still having problems. If you can get that to work you can then make whatever changes eg the half circle cut outs in te appropriate place.
