This has actually been a problem for me for a while, but it's gotten to the point where I can't even draw anymore just because this one thing is just so inconvinient =__=

Basically, I have photoshop CS3, but every single time I rotate or shrink an image it gets all pixelated and ugly-looking. Even when it's a vector, or even if I convert it into a smart object, it STILL does it 8I;;;;

Here's an example I dun screen capped: [link]

Partly why this is a problem for me is because while I'm sketching I can't ever resize anything. If it's a sketch layer it's usually no problem, but sometimes I need to adjust line-art layers too, and other stuff. (Plus I wanted to use that pinkie-pie vector for something @.@)

So yeah, if any tech-savvy people can help me out, I'd appreciate it :'D

Do you go into 'Image' and use 'Rotate Canvas' to rotate your picture?

I'm thinking... when you open a vector in photoshop, it automatically converts it to a bitmap right??
unless you still have the paths, i don't think it's in vector format.

maybe you need to rotate it in a vector based application like Illistrater or Inkskape... or hou about changing the image size, and increase the dpi?
see if happens when in high-res too?

ohhh, you might be right about that ; w ;

Still it does this even when I'm not using vectors, and I don't think it's supposed to pixelate everything I adjust/rotate that much XD' I'm such a derp when it comes to technology ; n ;

I only see anti-alias when I use the magic wand tool, or paint bucket, or some other stuff...I don't see that option when I use "free transform" or anything :'D
