As a web designer I hate one particular thing about Photoshop:

half pixelz

Is it possible to force PS CS6 to turn decimal pixels EVERYWHERE off?

I've been lurking around GD for a while now and nothing seems to work, as I don't even see Pixel Preview option anywhere. Also Edit\Preferences\Guides, Grids & Slices and setting Guideline every 1px doesn't help either.

What am I missing?

    Depends on what you want to do, pixel perfect does mena different thing in different usecases. Anyway the pencil tool will only color full pixels. I have no problem getting control over exact individual piuxels so care to describe your actual problem.

Yes, at least when it comes to dragging out ruler guides, like you appear to be doing.

When dragging a ruler onto the canvas, hold the shift key and your guide will be constrained to the 'ticks' on the ruler.

So when viewing at 100%, as you drag, your guide will snap to every 10 pixel increment. You can snap to every single pixel by zooming in to 1200%, and then dragging with shift.

So holding shift means you cannot place a guide between pixels, effectively "turning off decimal pixels".

  • And offcourse the pixel itself is located at the 0.5 0.5 fraction not the corner. No, pixels are not small squares.
