Photoshop grid and rulers not aligned

I have my rulers set to pixels and my grid set to pixels however the grid pixel is 3/4 the size of the ruler pixel.

Also, nothing will snap to the grid (snap to grid is turned on).

Has anyone come across this? (using the latest version of photoshop

Hi Brad,

Without more info it's difficult to say, but if you go into PhotoShop preferences to "Guides, Grid & Slices" you will see where you can adjust the grid increments. Work with that and see if it makes the changes you need.

Hope that helps, Don

Hi Don,

In Guides, Grid & Slices options the Grid is set to 'Gridline every 1 pixel' and ruler's are set to pixels

Try setting your grid to 36, 72, or 96 and see if that gets you closer to where you would like to have it. It should be a number that makes sense for the media, or end result.

My issue isn't about setting the grid to different intervals. The problem I'm having is the size the grid is showing as 1 pixel in length is smaller (by about a third) than the length the ruler is showing as 1 pixel.
