: Why the Pen tool is not filling properly? Working with photoshop, I've noticed that at really small size the pen tool filling is not so sharp when required to attach to a path/shape border:
Working with photoshop, I've noticed that at really small size the pen tool filling is not so sharp when required to attach to a path/shape border:
As you see I have used pen tool aiming at guides, the handle is correctly placed on the guide perimeter, however the fill color is not starting from the shape border but a little shifted on the right/bottom.
Any idea on how to make the filling more precise?

You can't fill part of a pixel, only whole pixels. A pixel is the smallest unit of a raster image that can be edited.
If you fill your background with a colour, you will see the pixel grid when you zoom in. Use these to place your guides/paths.
If you want six pixels across to measure 0.5mm, then you will need to set the resolution setting to 120 Pixels Per Centimetre.
120 pixels per centimetre = 12 pixels per mm, therefore 0.5mm = 6 pixels
The quides are arbitarily placed, but all fills are pixels. You have placed the quides between pixel borders.
ADDENDUM: I have here a stroked path. It has been drawn along the quides. The 1 px wide stroke has been taken its place at the nearest pixels.
In Photoshop you must be ready for 1 px ambiquities until you fill pixels individually and watch the result on a display that show actual pixels as is or integer times enlargened
