Crunchy rendering in photoshop

Curious can you show an example.....  I think that would help out as well.

Also who you are transforming layer sized the Image you seem in the Transform box is a quickly rendered Preview.  When you commit the transform Photoshop will do a better job interpolating the resize for better quality.

What JJMack said and if that doesn't answer your question, please post screen shots

The only time you are actually looking at you image pixels on a display is when you zoom to 100%.  At any other zoom  percentage you are looking at a quickly scaled version of your image. At some zoom percentages the quickly scaled version does not look all that good. Only judge you image when you are actually looking are you image zoomed to 100%. The zooming is done for performances not quality. When you edit you are working on your images actual pixels. Its just that Displays can not changes their Pixel size. The only way they can change the size display display your image  is display a scaled version of your image. On a Printer you can change the Printers pixel size you can change the Printed pixel density. The Print DPI,  That is also not the same as the Printer's DPI setting that setting is a quality setting.  Printers use very small droplets of ink to paint in the image's much larger pixels.  The Printer DPI setting is more or less for how fine you want to print the images pixels.   Highest DPI settings lay down more ink using finer droplets of ink and the setting is only available on special Photo Paper that has surfaces that will not become over saturated like an ink blotter.

Hi Mike,

That does not sound like a typical experience, let us help make it right.

As the images are not rendering properly when brought in Photoshop through Lightroom:

• Could you please let us know the version of Photoshop you're using?
• What operating system are you working with?
• It would be really helpful to see some screenshots.

Could you please try deselecting "Use Graphics Processor" located in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance, then relaunch Photoshop and let us know if it helps?

If that helps, then try updating the Graphics drivers from the manufacturer's website.

Regards,
Sahil
