Pixel Look Help In Photoshop

[Ryan's Replacement]

Hello,


I'm not even sure I'm "wording" this right, but I've been watching videos on how to create parallax maps in Photoshop. In the videos, when the user zooms in on their map, the pixels look the same, however, when I zoom in in Photoshop the pixels looks overblown and not attractive. How do you make the map image look the same when you zoom in?


Thanks!

Could you do a screencap of what it looks like for you?

It could just be me, but I think the picture looks distorted. Hope this helps!

With the RM stock graphics they are not done with traditional pixel art techniques. They are generally closer to paintings that fit in a pixel art sized environment. With the technique used graphics are made to look crisp and clean from a distance but on a closer inspection you will find that things aren't as crisp as they may seem from a distance. 


Just to be sure I would grab so traditional pixel art style graphics (bound to be some in the resources section of these forums) and zoom in on them and see if things still get "blurry", if they do you will have to look into how your photoshops' settings are setup (most noteably the 'view' settings).
