Win7 photoshop 7 issue

arrangemonk · Nov 2009

as you can see multiply makes weird stripes when not on 100% opacity, some icq dude claims its maye an "gdi fuckup" but i dunno

had anyone of you guys had such an issue, (saved files have that glitch too) and most of all is it fixable#?

I've had wierd issues like that on XP.

This is kind of a shitty workaround, but erase the layer at 37% opacity (noticed it's at 63% opacity).

It has something to do with that.

The even stupider thing is, that i saves like that, and shows up on your model like that.

I've had that happen in XP and Vista. It seemed to start up when they started the whole CS thing. I've also had hard gradients show up that are impossible to smooth out... smudge tool, nope just pushes the hard gradient around. Blur, nope does nothing. But I can paint smoothly over the top of them, wee...

Never found a work around besides painting.

it works on 0%, 38-50 and 88-100
but i found a workaround, simply copiing underlaying layer ontop with 1-opacity of the intendet opacity and multiply works again

yeah this has happened to me when using ao set to multiply and I lowered the opacity. I always thought it had something to do with that.

this happened to me on winxp with photoshop 7. re-installing photoshop fixed it.

i reinstalled and even updated it to 7.01
its still that way

To me, it looks like a video driver glitch.

Try this:

1. Navigate to Edit->Preferences->Transparency&Gamut

2. Disable the setting "Use Video Alpha"

Does that help?
