Question

Pixel art - weird edges along some pixels

Whilst doing some pixel art zoomed in, I've noticed some weird edges along some pixels. They either show vertically or horizontally but disappear if I zoom in further. It always looks as though a very thin part isn't filled in. Is this normal or is there a setting I need to adjust.

It might be due to an OpenGL driver issue, or a rounding error in that driver causing the seam. What is your laptop's GPU? Intel on-board graphics?

Hi DustyShinigami,

Which version of Photoshop are you using? I see that you're working in 6400% zoom where one can expect to see some level of

pixelation or jagged lines down to the pixel level.

To troubleshoot, please set the GPU drawing mode to "basic" in the Preferences> Performance> Advanced settings menu and let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

I'm using CC 2019. It doesn't appear to be an issue on my PC; just my laptop. I'll give that a try the next time I'm on it. Thanks.
