    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    Okay, thanks for all the help. I guess it's just one of those weird things that I'll just deal with. At least now I have even more reason to splurge on a Mac Pro, maybe that will cure me of Pixelitis... Again, thanks for all the help. And thanks to everyone else who helped as well. Brooke

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    I just tried unchecking OpenGL, and it (sadly) didn't appear to have done anything. I also set it to "basic" and "advanced" mode, in the advanced settings. Nothing seemed to change :(

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    Oh, that was weird. As I said yesterday, I was using a friends computer to test and see if the strange pixelation happened on his computer (which it did). I must have unintentionally done something while posting, because I didn't want to post a picture, oops... As for the OpenGL, I have the...

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    I use a PC and a mac (long story), and I first noticed this strange phenomenon on the PC. #1 What operating system are you using? Windows 7 #2 What type of Graphics Card do you have? Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS #3 What version of Photoshop are you running? CS5 (v12.0) #4 How much RAM do...

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    I tried it and it didn't do much, just made the pixels larger. :sad: The funny thing is, when I save out the image, it looks normal. It's only in Photoshop that it looks all pixelated :neutral: Thanks again, I know this must be quite frustrating.

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    I'm using the trackpad on my laptop right now. But as I said, it seems to do the same thing on two other computers, including a mac (but seems to be less extreme on the mac), so I know it's not just my computer, which actually kind of sucks, since it means that it's always been that way, and I...

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    Well, I just checked it on my Mackbook Pro, and on a friend's PC, and the effect was the same. I guess I just never noticed it before. And iDad, I don't have scatter turned on, so I know that wouldn't have effected it. I'm including a .PSD so that everyone can see the strange effect. Just use...

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    It would seem that there might be some confusion as to what I am wanting. I am aware that the edges are feathered, and I'm not wanting them to be hard. What I would like is for them to smoothly blend into the background, like they do on the white. Instead, it's creating this blotchy spot in...

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    Okay, here is a PNG image with the transparencies. I looked at it in an image viewer, and it looked fine. But when I loaded it into Photoshop, it had the pixelated edges and center. Oh, and to iDad and Steve, I know that it is a feathered brush. I want the soft edges, but what I don't want is...

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    The spacing is at 20% seemingly by default. I tried setting it to 1%, but it still has that strange pixelated edge. :(

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    Okay, I've uploaded a short clip onto Youtube showing what the "pixelation" looks like. So, is this normal, or should I keep trying to find out what's wrong? Here is a link to the video. (I can't actually post links yet, as I need 10 posts) www (dot) youtube (dot) com/watch?v=MpKcfyMcmCo...

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    Here is a step by step process of what I did. Create a new document, with the settings 512 x 512 pixels, resolution of 72, and color mode of RGB 8 bit. Next I create a second layer, and paint a line on that layer with a standard soft brush set to 100 pixels. Then I turn off the white...

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    It doesn't appear to be caused by scatter, as it isn't on. The first and third attached pictures are exactly the same, the only thing I did was turn off the white background. The fourth picture shows the "pixelation" effect that I'm talking about. All I did was zoom in on the picture, I didn't...

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    Thanks for the replies guys. I tried renaming the Preference File, deleting the Preference File, deleting the entire Photoshop Preference folder, reinstalling Photoshop, installed new video drivers, and nothing worked. :sad: This is starting to drive me a little mad. I would have thought that...

    Brush Pixelation on transparent background?

    When I use a soft edged brush on a transparent background, it becomes quite pixelated and strange looking. It's perfectly fine with a background, and only gets weird if the background is transparent. Is this normal, or did I do something? Thanks for any help :P And apologies if this is a silly...
