Hi everyone, I’m having a really weird problem. Sometimes I like to add a texture to a drawing, to do so I add the texture in a layer above the drawing, set the layer mode to Multiply and adjust the opacity. Simple and easy.

But now I’m getting this weird "film" of lines appearing in that layer everytime I adjust the opacity, they become even worse when I add color…I use a normal brush and it actually paints lines rather than solid color!

What’s even funnier is that the lines dissapear completely when I resize the image to be a lot smaller.

I’m not sure if this is a problem with Photoshop, I’m using PS 7 btw, or if its my new laptop. I never had this problem with my old PC which was much much much slower and buggy. I’m also curious as to why this is happening only when I use Multiply and non of the other blending modes.

I took some screencaps just in case I’m not making any sense.

from one of the ps engineers:

If you zoom in and they go away, it’s probably the video card.

If you zoom in and out and they change, it’s probably bad RAM.

If the image looks fine, you save it, then reload it and it’s corrupted – then it’s probably the hard disk.

This has nothing to do with the lines you are seeing, but keep in mind that with the release of CS3 Adobe has adopted a 3 version back upgrade policy. so if Adobe retains this policy when CS4 is released version 7 will no longer be eligible to upgrade from.

God, don’t you just love the way you have to troubleshoot things with computers? You would think by new that computers would come with automatic diagnostics that told you in plain English when you had a problem. Hey dude you have a bad ram module in slot 1, dude you hard drive is trashed get a new one, dude I have fallen and can’t get up.

It still amazes me that the more things change the more they stay the same. We are still using 3 decades only computer technology. IRQ’s, DMA’s all of that should have been long gone by now. Computers should be easier to deal with, especially if your going to do it the diservice of running Windows. Oh, well enough ranting back to pasting Bush’s head on to Donkey’s body.

I’m using PS7 and I’ve noticed the same thing. It’s only in the multiply mode and I find that if the opacity is between 25-49% the lines disappear.
I have no solution other than in some situations you can leave the opacity at 100% in the multiply and reduce the opacity in the background layer instead to get the same effect.

Dave- it must be the ram then, but that doesn’t make sense since I’m using a new computer. Maybe I should just get CS3 or something

Probably not as many as you would think. Most people while wanting to know what the problem is isn’t about to do the repair themselves. They would still hire out for that. What it would do is eliminate the consultant charging $200 to play around when all it took was a video card or ram module replacement. That is a good thing.

Okay, we’ll quit talking about your mother. Is it acceptable to talk about your father instead?
