Re: Pixel Snapping? Boonish,
It's a default that PhotoShop doesn't "snap" to individual pixels.
If you set your gridlines to 1 pixel subdivisions, you can get close.
(Preferences>Guides, Grid and Slices) Be sure to view your grid with the
"snap to grid" turned on.
But even if you've done all this, you're still going to fight the
"half-rendered" edge line now and again. Simply transform the edge or
point of the vector shape until— with MAJOR zoom— the line looks like
it's playing nicely.
I agree that it's the most frustrating thing ever from a graphic
program, but if your wanting pixel-for-pixel accuracy from Adobe, it
won't happen in either PhotoShop, or illustrator (although Illustrator
is close, the smart guides don't always snap to the right place, and the
user is allowed to drag a point to rest in-between pixels, even with the
snap grid set to a whole pixel)
I'm not speaking for the recently acquired MM products, though, as they
(used to?) snap to each pixel, if needed.
I did on-screen graphics for 6 years, and I don't know of a current
paint program that gives px-for-px accuracy at all (consistently), but
I've never used JSAC's old PaintShopPro.
As far as crisp borders, look into the "inside" Stroke option of the
layer effects. Provided you get the edges of the shape to look like you
want them, this option strokes the inside of the shape, giving cleaner
lines than using the "center" option.
