Pen Tool Precision Problem.

Hello Adobe forum,

Recently after opening a document in Photoshop %26amp; using the Pen tool, the precision gets thrown off. When I click to add a new anchor point, it doesn't place the point at the end of the pen, but rather at the base of the pen. Any suggestions? I'm on a Mac platform %26amp; using CS4.



Thanks in advance!

Press your F key three times. Any better?

go into prefs and choose precise tools

Hello Mark. Sorry it took me so long to reply. It surely did work. I normally use the F key to toggle through the different view modes, but somewhere along the way, it must throw off the precision. Once I go through the three viewing modes, it resets the calibration. Many thanks!

Yes its an issue with some Graphics cards. Which card do you have?



Before you reply, be prepared for an onslaught of condescending, and imperious ''NOT COMPATIBLE, shell out another $200 of your hard earned money'' responses.

This is the info I found about my Graphic Card:



ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT:



Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 2600

Type: Display

Bus: PCIe

Slot: Slot-1

PCIe Lane Width: x16

VRAM (Total): 256 MB

Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

Device ID: 0x9588

I'm not too concerned. It's my work computer that's doing it. I don't have any problems with my iMac at home. And if switching viewing modes fixes it, I'll live.
