hmm... well i checked out your stuff and... and can't "see" anything wrong... hmmm.... this is very odd. I'd have to say at this point i'm stumped...

Is your monitor's display deoth at 16bit or 32bit? If it's not on 32bit, try changing it to that and do the tute again... just to rule this out as a possible reason.

im set at 32 bit (highest) 1280 by 1024 pixel on 19 inch dv.

so the actual lines look normal when u open the psd on ur machine???

im stuck
[confused]

i have tried adjusting different reses and no change. i have my digital imaging class tomorrow so will ask teacher if has any ideas as to what might cause this anomoly.

Blinky2004

hmm... change your screen res from 1024 down to 960 Stick. 1280x1024 is not a proportionate scale. 1280x960 is.

Just so you know... things may appear a tad stretched vertically.

the only res available are


800 x 600

1024 x 768

1152 x 864

1280 x 768

1280 x 1024

1600 x 1200

ok heres the thing.....

I checked the effect on 4 machines, 3 pc's and 1 mac...

The only machine it worked on without jaggered edges was the mac, all three pcs had different displays (15 in LCD, 17 in CRT, 19 in CRT) and all in 32 bit colour.

Do you work on a mac by chance? If so can you test the effect on a pc anywheres?

Its not an anti aliasing thing cause it does that, its not a display factor cause have checked all available ranges, and I also tried in 96 ppi as thats what most pc diplays run at, macs 72 ppi. I have tried in 16 bit and 32 bit. I also tried changing to adobe 1998 rgb colour profile to emulate mac default and still no go. arggghhhhhhh i have 0000000 clue.

NO CLUE!!!!!!!!
I am going INSANE NOW....I HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT I CANT SLEEP!

hahaha ya me too man, ME TOO! Aaagh! [upset] [bustagut]

Well it won't have anything to do with being on a PC or Mac... and i use PC too btw. It has nothing to do with your doc setting being at any specific dpi either. That's only a print specific setting.
You're sure that you did/do not have the layer's transparency "locked" or any selection going at the time you apply the spherize filter... right?

Cuz that's about the only other thing i can think of that would cause the lines to get messed up.

Does ANYone have ANY other ideas on this???! [confused]
