I’ve just about had it with CS4 Photoshop, but the biggest issue that I cannot resolve is how text is rendering. It’s appearing jagged and messy, no other way to really describe it. Below are examples of CS3 vs CS4. Both styles are exactly the same – Akzidenz-Grotesk, 18pt, anti-aliasing set to smooth:

CS4: <http://www.mikepennell.com/brandon/cs4.jpg>

As you can see, the CS4 rendering is slightly heavier, with jagged edges. This happens with all fonts. Any ideas?

Looks like it’s related to the hardware acceleration and how it affects previewing stuff. Did you try and turn it off?
