When I set my pencil brush tool to 1px, to make some pixel art, it is not 1 pixel, it adds an extra pixel to the left. I dont know why this happens, but im the height IS 1 pixel, but the width adds an extra pixel to the left or right (mainly left). even when i position it ExACTLY in the center of the grid, which is set to 1px by 1px, it STILL adds an extra pixel

No matter what 1 single pixel brush i use this will happen... no matter which computer i use cs6 on and different copies of the installation.  Anyway have any insight into this? frankly... it's somewhat limiting that i can't use the brush for stroking a shape if i need a pixel line and yet soft curves that a pencil won't get you.Â
I just got a copy of CS2 and, I have questions.
I dont do any freehand work and always require pixel precision, also I work with small resolutions <600px at 72dpi/16bit.
How the heck do I kill anti-aliasing, when i set the brush to 1px I only want 1px!?
I have 272x480, 72dpi/16bit image and 2px from the edges I want a 4px border.
(path, drop shadow, inner glow, bev & emb, color overlay, stroke) then I want to bisect it in a number of locations. The problem is I cant do perfect pixle placement and get ugly overlapping. Last program I used I would select path and throw in x,y in all the locations I would want, then select the corner and bevel it to whatever I want. Using the rounded rect tool is nothing but a headache.
I am not very good with photoshop, and if there was a brush tool setting to make it just like an actual paint brush.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I use a pencil, I can draw one pixel at a time. However, if I switch to the Dodge or Burn tools, even selecting 1 pixel width, it still is soft. One click effects 8 pixels. How can I truly harden the tool to only darken 1 pixel at a time?

On paint it shows exactly how the line looks as ur drawing it,
but on Photoshop it shows some rectangle outline of the line.
I managed to remove the background, of an image,(A whit background) and put the image on top of a transparent layer. made a transparent image. When I place this image over a light color background, it looks fine, but when I place it over a dark color background, the edge of the image looks very rough and dirty, I think it's because some of the anti alias from the original image, how can I make it a clean image without going to delete pixel by pixel?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to draw a thin white line across an image, infact several lines in different places. The lines need to be permanent. I want to key in the number of pixels for the the thickness of the line and if possible key in the position of the line. I know I can use a new grid line to position a grid line, but how do I then turn that grid line into a permanent line where I can decide the width and colour? I'm trying to refrain from the long way round of zooming up to 1600% and physically using the rectangular marquee tool then filling the rectangal with colour.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI don't seem to be able to change my stroke in brush or pencil. It keeps resetting back to basic stroke 1pt/basic/uniform. The only way I seem to be able to go around this problem is to first paint something and then select the stroke and choose the stroke width, etc., but that's too time consuming and very difficult to work. I am using CS 5. "New Art Has Basic Appearance" is unchecked.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWorking in PS CS6. I want to use the pencil tool at 1px, and I've changed my settings accordingly (even typed it in to be sure) but the minumum size it will actually go is 3px.
Â
To be clear, the size is set to 1px, but when you zoom all the way in so that the individual pixels are visible, the pencil is a 3px x 3px square and will not go smaller.
Â
The brush tool does not behave this way, and I would use it instead but for this project I need the square precision of the pencil. I'm working in a 72dpi RGB document. I do not have this issue in CS5.
I am painting various pixels with transparency, and I don't like that pixels previously painted become more opaque when I paint over them. I would like the opacity information to remain the same, regardless of how often I paint over an already-painted pixel.
For example, suppose I paint the color (100,100,100) on a pixel with 60% opacity. If I paint over this pixel again, it should still have 60% opacity. I don't want it "stacking".
Also, just as an off topic question, is there any reason why so many people use photoshop over paint shop? I see them both as very identical and I'm having difficulty finding differences. Paint Shop Pro X is very nice, I think CS2 and PSPX are all the same.
Using Debian testing - Gimp 2.6.11 and when I create a graphic I try to use airbrush, brush or pencil and I can't get them onto the graphic. The colour tester does get onto the graphic and works.
for the others the cursor vanishes and only the arrows on the ruler top and side move about. The cursor is behind the graphic? Moves out from under when I move off the graphic.
This was not an issue in CS5, and I can't figure out how to change it in CS6. I like to Illustrate with the Pencil Tool. I set the stroke to width profile 1 (tapered on both ends) and the stoke to whatever makes sense for my current project, and it keeps changing back to Uniform and 1pt. I have tried to get my settings to "stick" with the Pencil Tool and Brush Tool, and have had no luck. The only way I can change the stroke profile is to do it AFTER the stoke is made.Â

View 7 Replies View Related1) I have a pattern that I'd like to use with the pencil tool. Is there a way to do this?
I mean something similar to painting with patterns - that is, with the paint tool, you can select "Pattern" from the Fill drop-down menu, select a pattern from the Pattern drop-down menu, and then paint that pattern into your image. Supposing you set the Brush for the pencil to be big enough, how could you do this with the pencil tool?
2) Is there a way to make a selection and paint the whole region selected with one click? That is, even if the colors and shapes are heterogenous and contrasting sharply such that the paint tool would never paint beyond the bounds of any shapes or colors.
Does it exist? If not, why not? I discovered it in SAI and it's amazing how easily one could draw smooth curves with the brush/pencil without a need to mess with vectors but SAI is seriously lacking in many basic things that Paint.net has (i couldn't even change the size of a cut/pasted object). It would be perfect if Paint.net had it.

I have the hardness set to 0. If I hold the shift key and draw parts of the road that are straight I get a nice smooth edge but when I add in the curves I must have terrible shaky hand cos its so bumpy. Is there a smooth tool or something similar?
Photoshop :: How to use burn / dodge tool in pencil mode
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I turn off anti-aliasing for the pencil tool in Photoshop CS6. I want to draw a single pixel. I do not want to draw a shape or a line. I do not want additional low-opacity pixels on either side.
Â
I set the pixel size to 1 and hardness to 100%. The pencil tool produces an anti-aliased line. I do not want this.
I recently upgraded to CS4 from CS2.
When I'm drawing with the Pencil tool at high magnification (1000% or more, doing icon work), the actual pixel changed is not the pixel I click on half of the time. In fact, it often is up to 20 pixels away, so it's not just some snapping problem. Half of the time, it doesn't even change any pixel in my icon (presumably, trying to change a pixel outside the smallish image).
Do I call support to get this logged and have to wait for a fix? Or is there some work-around?
i just opened ps, and was about to work on some client stuff.... same as ususal. hit the brush tool... no different from yesterday, same default settings, and my brush started doing some weird patterns... as if all the smoothing on the brush was gone. Looks like a bullseye when i apply the brush a number of times in one spot. (brush hardness = 0). very strange. I couldnt find anything wrong, and i didnt change my settings from the day before...? So i just updated my display drivers for my nvidia 8800 gts... and same issues... only with the brushes... gradients are still smooth? heres a screen shot of what im getting.Â

at one point, i DID see the "X" but can't reproduce it now that i backed up and started over.  I get an asterisk,then, when drawing a line, and adding to it, the first line disappears as soon as the second line is drawn.
I am able to create my own customizable brushes BUT I want more, WAY more. I want a brush capable of picking up a pixel or a few and transform it/them into a bokeh, JUST WHERE they are.
The only tutorials I found are about making brushes, customizing them to do what ever but they create the same thing all over even if different sizes, scattered or whatever. Nothing about being able to have one that selects what is underneath.
Blur radius does not work, I tried and tried and tried again. If I still have hairs it because they are too short to pull and if the walls are still standing around me it is because I am wearing a soft pillow to protect them against my aggressiveness toward them (my wife was tired of paying for repairs).
Basically, I opened 2.8 this morning and started working on something, but for some reason everything I do can be undone with ctrl+z except for the pencil tool. It doesn't even feature in the undo history, so I have to just use the eraser tool instead. Is this a bug, or is there some setting I need to play with? Because I LIKE the pencil tool :/ and I don't want to have to stop using it.
