Free Transform Without Jagged Borders?

[PicnicTutorials]

All I find googling is go into preferences and change image interpopulation to nearest neighbor. If I do this it gets worse?

I think you'll need to be a bit more clear about what your issue is?

 

I don't think there really is a fix for what you are asking about though. Since you are dealing with pixels rather than vectors, if you tilt an element at an angle, the anti-aliasing won't be perfect, especially if you are dealing with a very small element like a 2 or three pixel border. The only "fix" for that is to find an angle where the anti-aliasing doesn't make the element look horrible.

Thanks Ben. So I have an image - give it a border - then using free transform I rotate it 15 degrees. After which the borders are jagged. I think I found a tut to smooth them out with blur or something. I'll try it in the morn. How do you do it?

I thought maybe I could give it a border after rotating it but can't figure that.

I think the only way to fix it is to adjust the angle. With such a small angle like that, and knowing you are dealing with individual pixels, I think that a jagged border is unavoidable.

Here is the YouTube tut I'm trying...

Ahh I think I just use the magic wand then refine edge.
