Photoshop is pissing me off - lines

[Hitman]

Hi guys,

OK so I am designing in Photoshop. I'm using the rounded rectangle tool to create boxes, but the lines of these boxes are not clean/crisp! They are "soft" - let me show you.



The first one has the 'soft' lines, where it's fuzzy, the second one has the clear and crisp lines. I want the crisp ones!

It is only happening when I have the grid on, so I can see the spacing properly... without it it is crisp. HELP!

Trim the lines yourself...

turn anti-aliasing off

Impossible to have 'soft' corners as you put it, and hard edges.. Unless you do it yourself, or make sure you finish drawing on the pixel squares. Trim them yourself

Too time consuming. It never used to do this.

turn anti-aliasing off

How? There is no option.

I just want it how the bottom image is - it always used to be like that, clean lines, but now the whole edge is soft.

You can either have the corners jaggedy and the lines straight, or smooth corners and the edges smooth to. To turn anti aliasing off, click the rounded rectangle tool, and the tool bar at the top below the menu bar, there's an option

Right, I see what you mean but I always used to be able to get the smooth corners & clean lines. :S If I do it anti-aliased without the grid it's fine, clean lines and smooth corners, but with the grid it had smooth lines and smooth corners... only when the grid is there. :S It never used to do that with the grid.

Wait, grid? What grid lol. The pixel grid? Because i thought that was a new thing on PS CS4 :S hm. I dunno, unless you've been extremely lucky in the past and managed to do them perfectly lol. Because I've never done it 100% of the time.
