If i use CS4 my brushes are all pixelated. not in CS3 though. and its on the brush tool not the pen tool i double checked. this problem has been bugging me for a few months now. any suggestions?
When I enlarge a brush shape past its "original" size (which for every shape is way too small for the most part), it gets pixelated. The attached jpeg is from a 300dpi 16-bit CMYK file.
It's especially obvious with stars, snowflakes, ornaments, this kind of thing. Can't make a clean 300px star, for example. Pretty sure I was able to enlarge these things with no problems in CS4.

I recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6 and I noticed a weird change in how brushes with 0% hardness are displayed. I'm not sure if it's supposed to look like this or if it's a problem with my settings etc.
So here is how it looks on 500%
- 0% hardness brush, Opacity 100%, black on transparent background
I am interested in grouping and sorting brushes according to size, shape, whatever.
Right now when I add a brush library, they just stack on top of one another.
For example let's say I have a round brush with a 10 diameter, then next to it a round brush with a 20 diameter. If I make a 15, it goes to the bottom of the list, and I have to scroll all around. How can I group them?
I suspect I would have to make my own brush library with my brushes how I want them, then save that and load it?
I've been using Photoshop CS5 for years now and never had any trouble with my lineart. I use an Intuos 4 tablet. This is what my lines used to look like last time I used Photoshop. Always on a 1 px round brush with the following settings:
Now, all of a sudden, my lineart looks pixelated. I am using the exact same settings and even tried updating my drivers, it has not been fixed. It's causing me insane amounts of stress since this is what I do for a living and the decrease in lineart quality is really taking a hit on my work.This is what they look like now..
I have a CS5 PhotoShop document, and it is 150px by 150px. The problem is that any text i put on it is slightly pixelated. I have tried anti-aliasing but its not working.I am planning to put the image on a website but the text on the image is clearly more pixelated than text on the page even when it is saved in the highest quality jpeg.
I like the idea of the pixelation floating away from the object, Is there a name for this kind of effect? I assumed it was just some kind of pixelation reference.
I was experimenting with 3d model texturing in CS4. However whenever I zoom into the model I was trying to texture, it becomes very pixelated to the point of where I couldnt tell what it is supposed to look like. The only way I can tell what it is anymore is while using the camera rotate, the model once again comes back into focus with the sharp edges that I desire.
I have a problem to do with zooming. Every second zoom I do the picture is pixelated. It doesn't happen in Illustrator, so why does it do this in photoshop?
Do you know of a way to get absolute non-pixelated 45 degree lines in photoshop? I'm a little tired of having to go back and forth from illustrator just to get clean lines.
I'm on a laptop, I work a lot on keyboard shortcuts and sometimes press something,and have no idea what I press. Unfortunately this time I have no idea what I did, and my text has gone funny.
I've exited the program and gone back in to no avail, it still looks pixelated and less quality than it should be. Here is an example of Times New Roman:
I am currently working on wedding invitations with a copied image from google. However, when we go to print the image it comes out grainy and pixelated. I am so new to photoshop I just stare at it blankly. Can you offer some help on how to make the image not so choppy when I have to scale it down and print it. It looks great from far away, but when you actually go to read the thing , I am sure everyone will be " oh, obviously from the computer"
i've played with settings and preferences and resolution...and the problem remains: when viewed at anything other than 100%, all text is pixelated, no matter if it's smooth, crisp...whatever. it prints fuzzy as well. i have run into this problem with photoshop (CS) before, but it was on a school computer and someone else fixed it. now i have my own (CS2)
I recently encountered a problem that I am sure could be corrected if I were more experienced.
I am building a website using Dreamweaver. I adjust my photos for size In Photoshop Cs3 of course. I then save them for the web on a transparent background as a gif. When I view my image in Dreamweaver the edge of the image appear pixelated (sort of a white aoutline) I would like to feather some of my images but when I save them and then include them in my webpage the feathered edge is visible as a white outline shadow. The images are fine otherwise.
This also happens if I add a layer style to text such as bevel. The bevel area appears as a large white outline.
I am sure there is a setting I am not aware of. Should I have a specific setting when I save the images for the web?
I'm having to make a thumbnail in Photoshop CS6 that is 125x100 & 72 DPI. When i put the image together the words are blurry and pixelated. im not sure why this is happening or how to fix it..
this is the thumbnail at 125x100 and 72 DPI which is the directions given and its so pixelated!
i made a cd cover in photoshop just fine. opened a new file and made cd labels. same fonts. very simple. but in the latter file the fonts are all pixelated--on screen and printed. what in the world could be the prob? both files are 8.5x11 tiffs. black and white. so simple yet so wrong!
Opened a clear image in QuickLook. Opened in PS CS5 to edit and it is blurry. PS is blurry/pixelated too - the tools, the font, etc. What can I do to fix this? I have had PS CS 5 for awhile now and have never had this problem before. Already tried re-opening, shutting down.
I have attempted to do multiple searches not only on the forums but also on other search engines and I have been unsuccessful.
I have done the following multiple times with same results. Note: I have CS6 on my personal Macbook Pro, my wife’s Macbook Pro and my work PC also running CS6.
I created an original image on MY Macbook Pro using CS6. I saved this image at the highest resolution possible to my computer. I can reopen and at all sizes of zoom there is no pixilation.
I saved this file to a thumb drive (also tried emailing) and opened the file on my wife's Macbook Pro and when I zoom I begin to see pixilation. This can also be seen on the printed copy of the image whereas that is NOT the case on my MacBook Pro.
I attempted the same process to my work PC however I received the same result. what I am doing incorrectly that is causing the image to become pixelated on any computer other than my own?
I am trying to print an 18x24 poster that I downloaded from a website. I wanted to adjust the colors, so I imported it into Photoshop and then re-saved as a hi-res PDF with 300dpi. When I open the PDF in adobe reader, it is very pixelated and I also did a test print at 100% in which certain portions of the text came out blurry.
I would re-type the existing text in Photoshop and then re-save but it's a unique font that I don't have access to.
Apparently Adobe doesn't recognize my username and password for this second account, and when I ask to send a password to my email, I never get the email, so I had to create a third account just to post a thread and update it. [URL]....
I can't find a Reply button anywhere to update my question. I just saw it there a few days ago. What happened to that? How do I export a vector drawing with text in Photoshop to a PDF, such that the text isn't pixelated when I view the PDF?
Why, when you downsample a picture (say from 300 to 72 dpi) does it look look pixellated, even though it is scaled down in Indesign and the effective DPI is well over 300.
I am using little icons that are clipped out photos they will be printed at about a quarter inch. These icons are on a bunch of calendars so they are placed in Indesign hundreds of times. Their actual size was originally about 5 inches at 300 dpi -- wayyyy larger than necessary for the final printed size.
I need to downsize them, without have to adjust each one in the ID document as they are already placed. I can do this by downsampling them in PS, from 300 to 72 dpi and not change the dimensions.But when I do this, even though they are so small in the ID document, they still look pixelated.
Im using cs5.5 and need to print something 4' x 8'. Its mostly letters as well, but the problem is that the letters get really pixelated when I make them really big.
