Ahh... when you used the term, distortion, I was looking for effects on a larger scale like a wavy baseline, etc. Sorry I misunderstood you. Now, I realize that you are looking at problems like lumpiness in the shape of each letter.

Hawkeye's suggestion to expand each path and tweak it would work, but is time-consuming (...unfortunately, I have to do this with all too much regularity. :-( ).

Another possibility is to switch to "Image Trace", the updated version of "Live Trace" in AI CS6. If I remember correctly it has a few more adjustments than in CS5, specifically, "Paths", "corners" and "noise" (under "advanced") that, compared to the default settings, can be adjusted to substantially tighten up an automatic tracing.

[QUOTE="Tom Mann, post: 1533633746, member: 74903"] Ahh... when you used the term, distortion, I was looking for effects on a larger scale like a wavy baseline, etc. Sorry I misunderstood you. Now, I realize that you are looking at problems like lumpiness in the shape of each letter.
