squares on sharpening and group


Recommended Posts

Here's an effect I'm finding:

  1. Zoom into a pixel layer so you can see the pixels.
  2. Add sharpening layer above
    1. Unsharp and HP both have same effect.
    2. I tried it with several other adjustments and it didn't happen.
  3. Group the sharpening layer (Ctrl-G) so sharpening is only layer in group.
  4. 'squares' appear, as below (only after the grouping
  5. Merge Visible makes them disappear, so presumably it's a rendering thing, but it makes  non-destructive editing impossible.

I tried with both an unsharp mask and High pass and am not getting the squares although I have seen this with other tools

Might it be a screen refresh issue? Not saying that but if you save the file and reopen, what do you get? 

I can't reproduce and I believe I followed your directions correctly
