A "true" ONE pixel brush

592 views4 repliesLast post: 7/23/2005
I've tried everything I can muddle through to create a one pixel brush in PS7. I've used the tutorials on the web. But I still can't achieve what I think I should be able to. I want a very precise one pixel brush that when it is applied it only shows up as one very small square and not the four squares of slightly different colors. The one pixel brush I've created (and the one that came with PS7) always applies a slight shadow around the pixel I want to paint.

Am I asking for the impossible?

Use the pencil tool when you just want to cover one pixel.

DUH..........I wonder where my brain has been for the last few weeks/months/years. Works perfect.

Know the feeling - at least you have Hawaii to dull the pain :-).

The interesting thing is the brush tool will do it....but you have to be exactly centred on the square for it to register as a single pixel. If you're off to the side over an adjoining pixel or pixels you will select them too. So you can either have one pixel, a pair of pixels or four pixels depending on where you are in the grid when you click. The pencil tool has a cross hair selector which limits its effect to the square over you which you are principally located when you click.

By the way you're not Gene T.... from Hawaii are you?
