I used to create pixel art in Aspire and now am trying to use Photoshop. When I use the 1px pen tool, the 1px brush and 1px grid do not align properly. What is going on?

I can't replicate the issue. When I use a 1 px pencil with 1 px grid, it works just fine. See the screen capture here.– Billy KerrMay 22, 2018 at 17:55

Is it possible that your grid origin has been moved?– joojaaMay 22, 2018 at 18:19

There are applications designed specifically for pixel art. Photoshop is not one of them.– LateralTerminalMay 23, 2018 at 17:11

The problem is your grid settings.
Press ctrl+k
(or cmd+k
on mac) to open the Preferences window and enter Guides, Grid & Slices.
Under Grid make sure to set the unit to Pixels and make sure that Gridline Every equals Subdivisions. For example you could set both to 10:
Alternatively, if you have GPU rendering enabled, there is a built-in 1px grid available. Toggle it with View > Show > Pixel Grid.

I did check my grid settings, they were set as you recommended. After I toggle Pixel Grid my issue fixed. May 23, 2018 at 21:02
