I would like to turn anti aliasing off for a project i am working on. I would like the whole image to have no antialiasing.

How can you do this in photoshop?

thanks
 
You have already posted this another thread! If someone didn't explain something to your satisfaction, go back to the original thread and use the reply button.
Plus, please be as specific as possible when you post, anti-aliasing applies to a few areas in photoshop.

Moe: It could have been a real ugly situation, but luckily I managed to shoot him in the spine.
 
the problem with that is that everyone sees o there are 8 replies then it must be answered, so they dont go see it.

And anyways, can someone please answer it.
 
for placed vector art - use the *place...* command, turn off anti-aliasing in the properties bar, size the image to fit your skin, then hit return.
Also for a GUI i presume you will have to make the image Indexed colourr - *image>mode>indexed color*.
This will limit the colours used from now on to the colours already in the image (so if there are 50 colours in your image you won't be able to use a colour that is not one of these.
Once in indexed colour mode, anti-aliasing will be OFF.
Turn off the anti-aliasing in the text tool - text tool property bar *aa > none*, (off in Indexed colour mode.

Hope this helps, if you are still stuck, reply to this with a 'detailed' description of your problem.

Let me explain.

I have an image with many many layers. Almost each layer has a vector graphic, some circle, other rectangles, etc. On each one there is antialiasing. To make the skin work i can only have the color i filled each object with, not the antialiasing colors. I really want to just push a button to turn this off, but it seems that is not posible. I still dont understand this indexed color, how does it antialias, how do i set it up to antialias?

This is way too confusing then it should be.

I don't understand what you mean by 'anti-aliasing colours' what makes you think they are 'anti-aliased', and what makes you think that the layers are anti-aliased?

Indexed colours will limit the colours used in the image EG: to 256, like the lowest setting on a monitor.
This will, unfortunately for you, flatten the image.
try to take some screenshots and upload them to a free site and show us what your talking about.

Hi barehug

I did explain exactly the same thing (INDEXED COLOURS) to THEMAN101 in the previous post - it does not look like we are having much success

THEMAN101 - How did you get the shape(s) into Photoshop in the first place? Were they created in Photoshop or were they imported from another application?
