Trying out my shiny new Wacom with my shiny new CS4, and all I have to say is, holy christmas balls! You can skip me this year, Santa...Momma has everything she needs hehe that being said, I have a looooong way to go in even beginning to understand CS4, so please have patience. I am trying my hand with Robins Smart Objects and I've noticed that the textures on my object aren't as clear as with other peoples. I've even made sure that the materials were 1024 when I replaced them. However, as you can see from the picture, when I set anti-aliasing from Draft to Best, the quality understandable improves. Another thing I have noticed is when I manipulate the object (ie: paint, move, ect) the quality drastically improves during the action. ExampleI am unclear if this is normal, or not. I can see why it may be, as I'm assuming that it takes less drawing power when you aren't even manipulating the object. Windows XP 3 gigs ram nVidia 7900 - 256 ram Intuos3 tablet |

From: Maddie Camus However, as you can see from the picture, when I set anti-aliasing from Draft to Best, the quality understandable improves. Perfectly normal. From: Maddie Camus Another thing I have noticed is when I manipulate the object (ie: paint, move, ect) the quality drastically improves during the action. At the beginning of any manipulation process, it's not uncommon for the visual quality to drop temporarily, especially in the 32-bit version of the program. After the transformation has been processed, the quality will jump back up to normal. Is that what you're seeing? From your description, it's a little hard to tell. If you upgrade to 64-bit, and put at least 4GB of RAM in your machine, you'll find that performance will drastically improve. The display will usually stay in high quality, even during manipulations. |

*nods* I've read on the Adobe forums (after I posted here) that it's normal during manipulation. But what I'm seeing is the opposite. Quality is horrid UNTIL I start manipulating.

I am seeing the exact same thing myself with the quality of the models and textures going UP when transforming and scaling, then dropping back down after you finish.
for a while, till I realized it was better to scale the model huge to zoom in on certain area's rather than using CS4's regular zoom, I was doing that to check seams and such, which was a major pain in the bum
