I keep seing a weird effect in DS which I can't get rid of. When I use a black and white pattern image in the bump setting for a metal texture, the metal texture is no longer smooth around the lines of the pattern. It goes kind of dimpled and looks 'messy'.  I'm at a loss to work out why this is happening. The bump image is pure b&w with no feathering of the black lines.I created the pattern using one of the Photoshop standard shapes.

Does anyone have any idea why this happens?
