Since PS 23.5.0, my 300 pixel/inch look terrible

[Eko Wardoyo]

Dear all.

Sorry, i'm not sure. I always used this template (1080px | 1350px with 300 pixel/inch) to create instagram post using Photoshop. Since i update to 23.5.0 (newest), the resolution look terrible.

Is it normal, or just my feeling? thanks.

You are zoomed in to over 200% so of course you see pixels. In Photoshop 100% means 1 image pixel mapped onto 1 screen pixel. 200% means 1 image pixel mapped onto 4 screen pixels.

Incidentally, when preparing images for screen use, PPI is irrelevant. Only the pixel size matters. PPI is just a number held alongside the image, in metadata, and is used by a printer to work out a physical size on paper. It is ignored for on screen use.

As davescm wrote, you zoomed to 211%. But maybe there is also another reason: when you wrote that text which kind of anti-alias you choose? It seems "Nothing".

I just replied and I add a picture to show the text antialias options, but now I see that the attachment appears blurred!

But it is not possible to change that message.

This is the same picture in full res:

Thanks @davescm and @Trystero ,

hi, yes, you're right, 'anti aliasing' is what i mean. Thanks @Trystero , solved.

i think default 'anti aliasing' for 23.5.0 is 'none'.
