Question

Unable to disable Snap to grid

Photoshop V25.9.1 Windows

I cant seem to figure out how to disable Snap to (pixel) Grid.

I have fully disabled Snap to, and Snap Vector Tools and Transforms to Pixel Grid in Preferences.
I have reset my preferences, my tools, and Photoshop 

When I use the Direct Selection tool, when the Snap Vector Tools and Transforms to Pixel Grid is also disabled, it seems to work, but the second I want to place it, the object will snap to the grid anyway.

I'm at a complete lost

    Could you please post screenshots taken at View > 100% with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible? 

    What do you mean by »place« exactly – confirming a transformation?

      I have one question before anything else: Why would anyone want to disable snap to pixel grid in a pixel-based application?

      The object that needs moving is not positioned exactly in the middle between two other objects right now, because of the grid.... and moving the other objects is a no go since its part of a template for work

      There is no benefit to positioning objects without snapping to a pixel grid. If a single pixel shows a visible misalignment, you are likely working with a small-scale template. Aligning objects freely will introduce anti-aliasing, which is not beneficial, especially for small-scale objects and templates. Other factors to consider include the dimensions of the object being placed and the alignment of the template object.

        in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

        p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
