Object becomes pixelated when I apply grain texture

[samantha1022]

When I apply the grain texture effect, the objects are super pixelated. Whether it be a gradient mask or a regular object, they always turn out pixely and not that stippled look it should be.  Below is an example...the left image was originally a blue rectangle before the texture was applied, and the right is a gradient with the texture applied.

What am I doing wrong? These aren't zoomed in really far or anything either.

check the resolustion if it is set to High from

Effect-> Document Raster effects settings

Any effects in AI from Effects Panel in below section are raster effects. Did you add that texture from Effects Panel?

Yes I applied from textures panel

Please show your original objects and your effects settings.

Also: how far you zoomed in?

i changed the document raster effect settingd to high..still same problem..what do i do?

[Monika Gause]

It's a pixel based effect after all.

So when selecting a higher raster effect e´resolution you will get finer pixels, but still pixels.

So can you please show something and also tell us what you expect to happen?
