OK. I posted a question yesterday and got a good, quick response. (thanks!)

So, I have yet another question about the Shapes tool. I wish the Photoshop help files were more useful, but they’re not.

I want to make a simple rectangle, with a 1 px stroke effect on it. Simple enough. I don’t want it to be anti-alisaed, though. I found, through the help files, that I could check the ‘snap to pixels’ in the options. OK. But, if I transform the shape afterwards, it becomes anti-aliased. This is not what I want. Can’t I keep it with the anti-aliasing off, even when transforming? Seems so simple, so Illustrator like, but so far, so unattainable.

Thanks.

OK, I may have answered my own question. Using the technique learned yesterday, slecting only the 2 corners, and holding down the shift key, I can move the object withough anti-alising turning on.

I kinda wish this was all a little more Illustrator like, if we’re gonna work with vectors in PS. But I gues once you kinda learn the PS way, it shouldn’t be too bad.

Now, if anybody wants to give me some ideas on using the alignment tools, if I can align text with objects, etc…

Thanks
