Shrinking With Out The Anti-aliasing?

Liku

<div class="IPBDescription">How do you do it with PhotoShop?</div> Basicly I want to find out how I can copy and Image and Re-Size but keep it not Anti-Aliased? Or just keep the edges un-Anti-Aliased? Because when I resize it, it Anti-Aliases the edges with White, then when I make a backround I have white/grey specs around the original and I end up deleting them manualy. Any suggestions?

My first suggestion would be to use layers, have a background layer and then make a new layer and work on that.
That way when you want to make your background you can just draw straight onto the background layer and not have to worry about your colours mixing.
You can also resize all you want and not have to worry about aa.

But to answer your question, at the bottom of the image resize window theres an option Resample : and three options, choose the top one; 'Nearest Neighbour' IIRC.
Thats the nearest your gonna get i think. Tho there might be other ways, im not 100%

Ahh! I found an Easy way, delete all the outer stuff and then copy/paste it to a new layer and when I shrink it, it's not AA'ed. ^_^ Thanks, another question... Where's the tool [In PhotoShop] where you drag and click to make a Box/Circle, like what MS Paint has? Thanks.

Right click that and select something that looks like a circle, Or the desired shape.
(to be exact)

Liku

Awesome thanks. How would I go about Making a border around a Circle or something?

Evil_bOb1

create a circle the color you want the border in a new layer, select it, shrink the selection and erase the middle is how i do it

Liku

Isn't there a way to do it with just one click and drag?

CatCop

Border? Right click the layer, Blending options, Stroke.

PhotoShop's not letting me resize/flip anything, or make a new layer. I just scanned something, and it's sideways... but, I can't rotate a damn thing. Oh and I'm working at 2244 x 3282.

Is the Layer set as a background? (A padlock on the layer window)

If so just go to:

Layer -> New -> Layer from background

This will create a layer that can be rotated, if not rotated correctly you will end up with transparency in the gaps.

Although its probably just easier to resize the canvas and flip the image 90 degress *make sure the background is a layer first, or it will cut off the edges that dont fit*

I fixed it, being dumb, I forgot that when I scan and it's LineArt... the Mode's set to Bitmap, I had to change it to RBG. Thanks anyway.

Ah, i see *howd i miss that?, DOH*
