Pencil tool - how to turn off anti-aliasing

Aug 20, 2012 7:15 PM

How do I turn off anti-aliasing for the pencil tool in Photoshop CS6.

 

I want to draw a single pixel. I do not want to draw a shape or a line. I do not want additional low-opacity pixels on either side.

 

I set the pixel size to 1 and hardness to 100%. The pencil tool producess an anti-aliased line. I do not want this.

    Are you sure you're using the pencil tool? The pencil tool in my Photoshop is not anti-aliased, but it could be confused with the brush tool, which is anti-aliased.

    The pencil tool is never anti-aliased, that's the whole point of having that tool.
