way to turn off auto aliasing on raster layers that are either standard of a smart object. For example I have a rastered layer with simply a circle with no anti-aliasing so there is no blending of the layer with anything else. My problem is if I resize this down Photoshop automatically adds aliasing to the layer. Is there any way to turn this auto aliasing on scaling OFF?
I've used 5.0 for a long time and have gotten 7.0 recently. I need to turn off anti-aliasing on all tools to preserve sharp lines in the illustrations I do, which is simple in 5.0, but haven't been able to find a way to do the line tool in 7.
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 produces an anti-aliased line. I do not want this.
I was wondering if there is or is a way for example to untick a setting so that I can turn off anti-aliasing for some shapes, and leave anti-aliasing on for other shapes?
I'm trying to rotate a small object in Paint. When I use the rotate toolbar to enter the angle I need, the object rotates just like I want. Then I hit the apply button and some pretty heavy handed anti-aliasing is applied and the object is essentially destroyed. I've been using Paint for quite a long time so I figured there must be an option to turn this off. I can't find one. I even added the anti-aliasing button to the rotate toolbar and turned it off but that doesn't make any difference.
Essentially, what I want when I rotate an object is the chunky, pixelated preview, not the final anti-aliased so much you can't tell what it even is anymore final product.
At this point, I'm going to have to resort to rotating the object and taking a screenshot of the preview and using that instead of the mess that the final result is.
I've been working on a pirate-themed design and I've pretty much got it finished. But I was told that it has a lot of problems with aliasing so I've been trying my best to clear up these problems. But unfortunately I haven't had any luck. I've even searched the 'net for some guides but I haven't found any as of yet...
I'm not all that experienced with Photoshop so I don't know how exactly to clear up the aliasing problems. I've tried what some people have suggested but I haven't been able to get the same results. Perhaps I'm just doing something wrong. I've tried everything else I can think of as well, but it really doesn't make any difference. Either the image remains with aliasing problems or I just make matters worse. (At one point someone did try to correct the issues for me, but the outlines ended up coming out so bad that I'd have to remake the image all over again, and no doubt end up right back where I started.)
So I thought I might ask here and perhaps someone here knows more about what I could do to clear up these problems. This is my image (which will be resized to 256x256 later on). I can see the aliasing issues, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix them. Would, by chance, anyone here be willing to help me with these aliasing issues? Guide me through it, show me what to do, clear them up, or something? Any help at all would be very much appreciated.
Also, in case it would help anyone pinpoint the problem by looking at the original .PSD file with layers, I put it up here. I don't know if it will make any difference, but I figured it was better to be safe.
I scanned some text hand-written with a magic marker. i use threshold to get the artwork plain black and white, select the white with the magic wand, select similar and then delete. i'm left with the solid black image with crisp edges. i have marquee tools, lasso tools, and magic wand set to anti-aliasing off. feather i set to 0.
when i rotate the image to make it level, the image gets anti-aliased. to try to correct that i select the pixels of the image with command click on the layer, delete that layer and make a new layer. then i just have shape of the image created by the selection tool. when i use fill to try to fill it in, the image is anti-aliased. all i want to do is fiil in exactly inside the shape that i have selected.
I'm having aliasing issue with my smart objects in CS6 I never had before. I've searched all over PS and these forums to try and figure out how to get rid of the jaggies, with no luck. Below is a screenshot example of a SO with the aliasing (I'm trying to reconstruct a dresser top).
The Text tool has options for anti-aliasing - Strong, Crisp, etc. Is there anything similar when filling paths?
I am filling two paths with a common edge; when the Anti-alias box is un-checked, the border looks ragged, but when the box is checked, the border looks grey. I can get the results I want by filling twice with anti-aliasing turned on, but I would like to have the box "Half-checked".
I filmed a presentation where most of the content was slides scanned from old books and catalogs. To improve view ability I took the presenter's power points, wrote them to .pdf and then individually scaled them in Photoshop. I then went into to each slide and saved the individual images as separate images (he had them all in .jpeg so I am stuck with that). It didn't look bad inside premiere but once I export it to an .mp4 the old images with lots of lines tend to crawl and its quite distracting. You did a little test video on the first slide:
[URL].......
The best way to stop this before I jump into editing. I don't have access to the original documents--just the scans that were embedded in the slides. Also since there are 80 slides.
Photoshop worked completely fine until four days ago; now whenever I try to write text it is jagged and not anti-aliased in vector form or once rasterised.
I've just set up CS4 and my brushes are not anti aliasing properly. There are no soft edges on any of them. I'm able to get a pressure sensitive opacity change on the stroke but the edges are all pixelated.
Here is an image (this is a soft brush. notice none of the feathering/anti aliasing is there): ...
I am trying to transform a sprite which is about 32x32 and while using Photoshop's free transform tool to size it to something like 600x600 it becomes horribly distorted (thanks to the anti-aliasing). I need to turn it off while transforming, yet I see no option.
I'm looking for a way to do some anti-aliasing on my drawing. I have a drawing that I scanned in and I cut out a few components of my scan in MS Paint. I did this by drawing the outline manually in one color and then coloring the background with that same color and then copying it with that color as the see-through color. The problem is that the contours look terrible on a black background since MS Paint can't help with anti-aliasing. Instead, I've got these cut-out drawings of objects with a thin white glow around them. That is, when I cut them out, it was extremely hard to move along the lines EXACTLY. I tended to cut more outside the lines than in, and so I took a lot of the white background with it. I need a way in PhotoShop to get rid of those white lines and then do some better anti-aliasing. How can I do this?
I'm copying some vector art (monochromatic flats) from Illustrator and pasting into Photoshop as Smart Object. I am making selections from the flats to create individual paths to color however the edges aren't lining up. I end up with gaps between the edges and the lines are jagged.
Can someone please explain anti-aliasing? I am following a few video tutorials, one is saying turn it on and the other says to turn it off.
I've just started working with CS2, and I've noticed some quirks. I can't put my finger on it, but whenever I'm working on web layouts everything I do seems to have a strange aliasing / artifacting going on. I thought it was just my imagination, but then when I was out at the bar with a good friend of mine that's a designer, he mentioned that he'd seen the same problem and moved back to CS. Although it was annoying, I wasn't prepared to take that leap until I was working on a project yesterday and copying an area of solid color (#EEEEEE) into a new image created a dithered effect in the new image. There's absolutely no reason that it should have made any changes to the numbers, but it did. Is this some new function that's supposedly going to help photographers that is getting in my way? Now, I know that Photoshop has not always been the most accurate when working with solid colors and pixelated imagery, etc., but it has always worked really well for the work that I do. There's definitely a difference with CS2, but I really can't put my finger on it. For now, I'm back to working on CS, which is really unfortunate, because I love some of the new interface tweaks that Adobe has made.
I'm trying to apply a gradient to a piece of text. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the text I want the gradient applied to and apply it.
However, after deselecting the selection, I can see that the gradient has aliased edges that are very visable at 100% zoom.
In the above picture you can see alternate options under text aliasing called Windows LCD. These only became visible to me after removing a GPU and all drivers, but with a new GPU it is still present?
My question is, how do you get this aliasing option as a default?
There seems to be a problem with aliasing of Layer Style Stroke.The attached images show the result of the three Position options for the stroke. The pixels to which the Layer Style Stroke was applied were created by stroking a path with a white 72 px hard brush onto an empty layer over white Background.
Layer Style>Stroke>Structure>Position: Outside Outer edge of the stroke is poorly aliased.
Layer Style>Stroke>Structure>Position: Inside Inner edge of the stroke is poorly aliased and has intermittent artefacts.
Layer Style>Stroke>Structure>Position: Center
Outer edge is poorly aliased Inner edge is poorly aliased and has intermittent artefacts.
When I create a rectangle shape the edge is blured slightly with one pixel of color. How do I make sure the rectangle is sharp? I cannot find the option to click off anti-aliasing on the option bar in CS4, anyone know where it went?
Is there a way to draw a shape WITHOUT anti-aliasing? It doesn't have the option like all the other tools. I've wondered this for years but never bothered asking anyone.
i have an image that i can select with the Magic Wand Tool (W). Only problem is the image is kinda jagged around the edges... my question is, how do I make the edges smooth?
I hope you understand what I mean but, when I make a selection and fill it the edges are not antialiased, it's really annyoing and I can't figure out how to get smooth edges.
Do draw a simple curved line: pen tool, then stroke with a brush, correct?
- line on left is stroked with a brush 2px max hardness
- middle line is stroked with pencil 2px, no anti aliasing (no option either?)
- arrow on right is what I'm aiming for! smooth, but not blurred, its the same thickness as the others.
Now, I actually drew the arrow, but can't remember how - do you see what I mean? There should be a happy meduim between the left and right curves, to get the arrow. I can't find it! the anti aliasing is still heavy, even on max brush hardness, and the pencil is too far the other way.
I really like the new font anti-aliasing modes in Windows, but i got one big problem: If i rasterize text its gets a bit thicker and lose all it's touch.
Here's an example: (rendering was: sharper. the top one is the non-rasterized text. looks a lot better). Test it on your own... just zoom into your type and rasterize it, then you see how its gonna change.
