sheik266 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I can't figure out how to make a solid black line with the pen tool. It always has a slightly transparent outer edge. I'm having the same problem with the rectangle tool. See attached image. Background: I'm trying to do some "8-bit" styled work. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPest Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 What you want is called "pixel-pefect" graphic - in essence you need enabled snapping and Resampling with "Nearest neighbour" during export: Cheers P. Edit: correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 To add this, you don’t need to use line widths with an even count of pixels. You can also create a half pixel grid for snapping … :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 4, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 4, 2016 There's no need to create a grid specifically for this. The Automatic Grid picks half-pixels automatically.

PixelPest Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Yay! Seems I got the snapping right in the end: Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Oh dear, MEB, I assumed this feature was abandoned when custom grids entered the application … :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheik266 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 I'm using snapping and I am still getting the partially transparent edges. I also tried A_B_C's suggestion as well. I'm trying to make a solid 4px width line. Thank you for the quick replies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 That’s strange … :unsure: Could you perhaps upload an .afdesign document with your example, if available? That would simplify the diagnosis of the problem, so to say … ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheik266 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 I think I may have found the issue.... 4pt is not equal to 4px I didn't notice the units changed :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
