596 Fixing jagged Illustrator art in Photoshop

- Hey gang this Deke McClelland,…welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now I don't know how much time you spend copying artwork…from Illustrator and pasting it into Photoshop.…I do it all the time.…But one of the problems that can occur,…is you may end up getting jagged edges.…And this is one of those problems…that if you don't nip it in the bud, it will persist.…Your future artwork will be jagged as well.…Whereas what you want, most likely is anti-aliasing,…which gives you smoother transitions.…Now I know some of you don't think you want anti-aliasing…because you don't want to introduce those soft pixels.…

In which case you may still get something out of this movie.…But I am going to tell you, you're probably wrong.…And the reason is that anti-aliasing is designed…to defeat aliasing and whatever you think of anti-aliasing,…aliasing is always bad.…It's a fundamental misinterpretation of the curves…and diagonal segments in your vector art.…What we have here is a complex topic,…fortunately we also have a very simple solution.…
