Hard edges

[Datameister]

Could you please post a screenshot or two? It's hard to diagnose problems like these if we can't see an example. :)

Do you own a tablet? The second problem sounds like it could be tablet-related. I know that if I do some low-pressure painting with my tablet and then I try to make strokes with the mouse, they come out as if I were using low pressure.

could it be the feathering settings?

goto Select/feather in the menu.

Could be related to the brush softness, shift right bracket makes your brush edge harder, shift left bracket makes it softer. But then again when using selections it shouldn't make a difference when you fill it, also the antialiasing of the selection can be on when you create it, thus creating a blurred edge.

Yeah it was the anti alias setting for my selection problem. Still the other problems remain..

Here's a picture.

The left circle i did with deleting the forground color, witch is white (background black oc.). If you zoom in you notice the edge of the circle "fades" to black. The right circle i did with path, It's a bit harder but still my "ink" fades outside the circle.

The line i did with a size 1 brush, hardness 100%, flow 100% and opacity 100%. It aint even black. Increased the size of the brush and you see those edges fade again.

The bottem circle and line are done with the eraser tool and it's even "worse".

I know this efect is desireable most of the time? Anyway can i make my brush harder?

ooh righty - I miss-read your post. forget my earlier ramblings!

Only other thing I can offer is working in hi-res (900+ DPI) Bitmap.

Image/Mode/Bitmap

Bitmap forces pixels to be either black or white - so no grayscale fade between tones... Maybe what you are after?
