Downloaded Photoshop CS5 to see if it was indeed faster than CS4 (and yes, it does a few things faster on my year-old MBP, and doesn't crash on quit, so that's something) and discovered this horrendous change to the Pixel Grid.
Adobe has taken a useful feature and turned it into complete shit.

Well there you go, that's reason enough for me to not upgrade.

bummer, i've been looking forward to upgrading from CS3 for pixel grid, among other features.

That's why i just manually set my grid settings in preferences: Grid line every 32 pixels with 32 subdivisions. Could never stand the built in pixel grid in CS4/5.

So.... I should also assume that they haven't fixed the problem in Illustrator when you set a document's ruler units to one thing, close the document and then open it again and the Transform palette defaults to some other measurement unit entirely... That one's been around since at least the original Creative Suite.

Wait, people still use Photoshop? Weirdos.

But does Illustrator CS5 magically add .001 of a pixel to things, and can Photoshop CS5 manage to snap new guides to precisely a pixel, or does it still end up off by .1 of a pixel here and there?

Wow! I experienced this first hand this morning. Pixel grid disabled. I don't normally use the grid, but I'm going to try that instead of relying on the pixel grid when magnified.

Apparently, this can be fixed (at least on my MBP; it may be video card-specific) by changing the pop-up under Preferences > Performance > GPU Settings > Advanced... to "Basic" — though I'm still not sold on upgrading to CS5.

Interesting. Can't you customize the style of the pixel grid btw? Change colors/transparency?

Adobe totally fails at GU Interfacedesign.
Compare the close/max/minimize buttons on the document window header with the document window header of CS4 or a randow OS X app window header. Thy even failed at placing them right.

Are you surprised Adobe does this kind of thing? Its time we band together and get a better product out there.

It's definitely related to your video card settings. For me the 1px layer stroke tool was totally messed up on my new 17" i7 MacBook Pro. I had to switch to basic for video, for the stroke and grid to fix itself.
Preferences > Performance > GPU Settings > Advanced..

Dan, changing the GPU setting to Basic did the trick for me as well. Nice! One less thing to complain about.

This doesn't strike me as odd at all because my pixel grid currently looks like that of your CS5 screenshot (and I'm running CS4). I guess I should try that video setting thing as well.

i'm a strong supporter of pixelmator . It has mucho potential- but I'm not ready to switch yet.
