Objects in Photoshop "jump" pixels when moving
Hello
I was wondering if someone could help me with something that is really starting to annoy me.
When I'm moving objects in Photoshop, I find that they sometimes "jump" across pixels when I'm moving them.
For example, lets say I've got an image and I've zoomed in so that each pixel is shown as a large square. The rightmost edge of the image is on column 1 (bear with me).
Each column is 1 pixel wide. So it would look like 1 2 3 etc.
The rightmost pixel of my image is on column 1, and I want to move it to the right so that it is lined up on column 2.
I move my image to the right, but it doesn't land on column 2 at all and skips it, to end up on column 3. So I move it left and it again jumps column 2 and ends up back on column 1.
I hope this makes sense.
I've experienced this on Photoshop 7 and CS2, on 3 different computers. I used to experience something like this in Microsoft WORD during IT classes at school years ago. We had to go into a menu and uncheck something to do with grids, but I can't remember exactly what to do, and I can't find anything that looks familiar in the Photoshop menus.
I really hope this makes sense to someone, because it gets incredibly annoying when I'm trying to be precise.
Sometimes zooming in to 400/500% stops it, and everything moves smoothly, but it doesn't work all the time.
It doesn't always "jump" one pixel either. Sometimes the "jump" can be 3 or 4 pixels wide.
I would very much appreciate any help with this. Its driving me mad.
Thanks.
Thanks for the reply. :)
I've just looked through all the menus, trying to find something about anti-aliasing, and I found my problem.
It was View > Snap to.
I set it to None and I have no trouble now. I'm almost certain thats the name of the menu I went to in Microsoft WORD. Can't believe I didn't see that before.
So thanks for the advice. I wouldn't have fixed this without you. :)

Photoshop cs6 crashes when moving dialogs and windows
So recently, Photoshop has started randomly crashing when moving dialogs around or onto 2nd monitor. The files I have open are not large, so I am looking to understand why this is happening. has anyone else experienced this with their application?
ThanksIt might be helpful if you'd go into your Windows Event Logs (specifically, the Application log) and look for the Error event indicating a Photoshop crash. It may identify a module that will help narrow down the problem - though I suspect it will show a crash in the printer driver. Copy the text and list it here.

Help w/ Newsletter created in Photoshop becoming pixelated when emailed
Hi all,
I created a newsletter using Adobe Photoshop. However, when I use an email client to email it out, it becomes very pixelated. I have changed the dpi and it still becomes pixelated. Currently, the newsletter is set to 100 DPi but still becomes pixelated. How would I be able to fix this? I use iContact to email the newsletter and the actual image (bc it is rather large) is hosted on Photobucket. Early thanks for the help!Photoshop just doesn't do Newsletters very well. Even MS Word would be better. Much better. If you can use something like inDesign, or MS Publisher, and save as a PDF, your text will be perfect regardless of how much you zoom in, and it would produce a much smaller file size. Plus you can have live links (hyperlinks), or hyperlink the images to larger versions (if you have somewhere to put them online. With inDesign you can doo all sorts of wonderful things making a really impressive document that would be fun to create, and impress your readers.

Mesh like pattern - pixelation - when moving objects on new MBP i7 15"
i call your attention to this archived thread from a while back regarding screen pixelation on MBP. just got 2.80ghz i7 15" and have the exact same problem as posted here
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10489770
anyone have similar issues, is this just the way the screens are now? my previous MBP (less than 2 years old) did not have same problem.
basically, whenever an object is moved around on the screen, you can clearly see a change in resolution with more pronounced/visible pixels.
thoughts?this is the first page of the previous thread - the one i meant to link to

Photos become pixelated when moved to new photo album?
If I create a new photo album and select photos from camera roll or photo stream, once moved, they become pixelated in both locations. Help?
Did I miss something?
The Shared Photo Stream is supposed to show the photos in the order that you add them to the stream - the newesst photos at the end of the stream. But that will not work, if you add all photos at once. I find, I get he best results by adding the photos one by one, and letting each photo upload, before I add the next one. -
Why is photoshop CS6 pixelated when using the mac bk pro retina screen?
And how do I configure the computer to display photoshop correctly?
I realise I sound a bit stupid here now but how exactly do I 'click' 'open in low res' - after right clicking to get info I can't see and option to open pshop in low res.
Is there any word as to when Adobe is going to release an update to make the program/ equipement compatable?
Also thank you everyone. -
Photoshop CS4 crashes when moving layer.
Hello,
since OS X 10.5 and CS3, I'm having this bug; maybe 20 or 30 times a day, PS leave when I try to move a layer !
Same problem when I changed CS3 to CS4 ... and exactly the same thing with 10.6 !
Adobe said that it is a bug of the 10.5 but the 10.6 will fix that ... 40 Euros later, nothing new.
I'm using a MacbookPro 2.5 with 4Go under 10.6

Smart object - what happens to the pixels when i transform?
So i place an image into an open photoshop document, using the place command, of course. it is now a smart object, my question is when i transform or resize without constrain proportions( for example only enlarge the width, the hight unchanged) resample should occur right? are there pixels added only to the width and what kind of resample method is used? oh and how about when i warp this smart object, how do its pixels behave then?
Good day!
As far as I know the Image Interpolation Preference should determine the resample method.

Illustrator CS4 Text & Shape logo is pixelated when placing as smart object in PS
I made a Logo in Illustrator CS4 containing text & shape. The lines are crisp and clear at 100% & 200%+. I save my file as an ai and also another version as outlined. But when I copy & paste it into Photoshop CS4 as a smart object it becomes pixelated when I zoom in more than 100%. Is there a way to fix this?
When I use to do this in CS3 it worked fine, but now it doesn't work. The Photoshop file, placed as a smart object is the one on the left at 200%. You can already tell the pixels are distorted. The one on the right side is Illustrator file at 800% and is still crisp & clean. I've saved as eps, tiff, jpeg from illustrator and when opening it in photoshop and zooming in it's pixelated....and yes AA is turned on in Illustrator and nothing happens when I view as overprint either.
First, I'd like the logo in jpeg crisp and clear when zoomed in.
Second, I'd like to resolve the smart object issue in PS. I know a smart object will hold it's quality no matter the resize of the image in PS, but I can't get it to work... Can someone offer any suggestionsWhat is the ppi of the Photoshop file?
And for what it's worth, any raster image will never be as crisp and clear as a vector image, smart object or otherwise. Photoshop shows raster previews even if the actual object is vector. If you zoom in on any raster iamge, you'll see pixelation. -
Is there a "blur moving object" feature in Premiere Pro 2, like for pixelating a moving face?
When I went to post this question, I put "blur" in the tags, and it offered me a list of tags with the word "blur", including "path blur", which sounds like what I'm looking for, but I a did a search in the PDF manual for Premiere Pro 2, and it didn't find that anywhere.
Thanks,
digiThere is no path option in PP2
If the subject is moving you need to keyframe position over time yourself.

Crash when moving objects...
I have a HUGE problem... in fact I have had lots of problems with Illustrator... but this is anoying.
At least 10 times a day the program just crashes when moving objects... some time text, some time pictures, sometime lines.
Every time i submit a CRASH report with the details... but really I think they are TRASH reports, I mean I have NEVER get an answer, update or ANYTHING from ADOBE.
Last week I almost lost my job because of the ineficiency of the program, the thing is that I used to work with Corel and I was the one who tooked the desicion to change to Illustrator, so I spend the money on an entire suite,GOD!!
My question is simple, it may sound bad, but honestly Can I get my money back? Does anyone have heard about someone getting just so frustrated with the suite like me?
I love PS, I work just fine with DW, but Illustrator and Adobe support is killing me and leaving me without job.

As title says, when I open Photoshop CS6 and simple make a new layer and either use the type tool, it appears to be a little Sluggish/Jerky when moving the layer around.. The same applies when resizing photoshop itself.
I'm updated to the latest version of CS6 and have tried all the combinations in the 'Performance' section of Photoshop.
My Macbook Pro Retina is the 3.4ghz 650m and 8GB RAM offering (OS Mavericks). It's really annoying me as even my old laptop could run it smoothly and that was an i5 and much lower-end graphics card.
The only way I can really describe it (and i'm no tech professional) is when comparing it to silky smooth 60 fps, it looks like it's skipping frames and in term looking 'jerky'. I also use Illustrator and don't really witness the same problem with it.
I know this may have been asked quite a bit.. But I've never found the solution.. Could anybody advise me on what it potentially could be down too? (Might I add the laptop has just had a fresh install of the OS and a fresh copy of CS6)You could check through the GPU FAQ for anything you might have missed
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html
You say you have tried all settings in Performance, but I wonder what your cache levels are set at? If more than 1, then OK.
There's the general performance FAQ (no doubt lots of overlap)

Is this with all image docs, or particular ones? For instance I have been playing with using ACR to process 32bit HDR files, and it puts a huge load on the system. -

Running Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 is sluggish when moving between pictures on new iMac. I have a standard 21" iMac with 8 gb of RAM, but it still sticks for up to 30 seconds when switching pictures in organizer or other functions. How can I get it more responsive?
How large is your HD & how much space do you have left? Make sure you are using the latest version of APE.
You should also contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product. -
