    Interesting. It's sort of like putting the dot of the brush between two pixels and the software makes it fit by blurring it. I've never had this problem in PS CS, but I don't use mountain brushes either. I'll have to see if I get similar results on an experiment.

    Try the Pencil tool instead, it doesn't automatically anti-alias the edges.

    You were wondering what it was for, weren't you? (-;

    This doesn't work. It's crystal sharp yes, but it loses all the mid-range tones of the brush.

    So basically, I'm stuck with placing and replacing a brush until I manage to get it smack bang in the correct part of the pixel? :s

    There ought to be a Snap to Pixel command or something. Gah.

    I see.

    I don't see any options for turning off subpixel accuracy, so I suspect the best solution is to work at a higher resolution.

    Yeah, working at a higher resolution and then scaling the image down gets rid of the problem. Alternately, you could draw one brush that fits your sharpness/blur needs and then copy/paste that, that you give the "snap-to" option. You would have to do this with each of the different brushes, of course.
