Oh god, I was so angry with the new stupid zoom-thing in Photoshop 5.5! Already gave up… Glad I found this page here. Thank You!

Yes, you can turn it off. Go to View > Show and deselect Pixel Grid. This appears to be remembered even when you close one file and open another.

I have to turn View Pixel Grid off EVERY time I open a new document.

Is there a way to turn it off permanently (or at least until I want to turn it back on)?

Thank you for saving me the frustration of finding a way to switch these “helpful” features off.

Thank you so much, it’s so dumb and obvious, I always look at the prefs for these things. It’s So So annoying the way Adobe like to push new features on professionals. Yes all it does is slow down productivity every time they release an update.

My mistake. Clarity is important in some contexts and C1 does provide a win in some studio settings both in terms of speed and tethered capture. Certainly not as good as the integration with Phase One backs, but good. Still, for my use, Lightroom gets the nod because of its DAM capabilities.

As I say, no tool is perfect... sigh.

Actually, Capture One does have Clarity! It’s in the Exposure panel.

Comment on Canon 5D Mark II: Lots of Pixels! by photodiva

Thanks for the input, Omar. I’ve been using my 5D MII for a number of months now, and it seems to be pretty effective at shedding dust. That’s as compared to any other DSLR I’ve ever owned.

I’ve used the 5D exclusively for field work because it’s so much lighter than the 1Ds MIII and as I said, it’s giving me the quality I expect.

I think all DSLRs should come with a “treat with kid gloves” warning label because any time you open the camera housing to the air, dust will find its way in. I’ve also observed that some cameras are worse than others — not some models, but actually the cameras. Kind of like cars that are lemons.

If it’s any solace, I’ve had a couple of the “lemon” DSLRs too

Beware of the dust accumulation on this camera. I have had it for a year and have had dust problems from almost day one.

This is a SERIOUS issue and I am surprised that Canon has not done anything to remedy it.

Before buying the 5D I would seriously consider what other options are out there because with the 5D MII you will be very frustrated.

Shame, because it's a fantastic camera otherwise.
