I don’t seem to remember this being a problem in the past. I have Creative Suite CS3.

I’m copying some vector art from Illustrator and pasting into Photoshop – for some reason it isn’t anti-aliasing it. Even when I select Smart Object and rasterize, it’s jaggy.

I’ve also tried saving as an EPS and importing into Photoshop – same behaviour. I can "open" the file, but that flattens it.

What makes it stranger, is I have another machine with CS3 and it imports correctly, so I’m guessing there’s a preference somewhere… I just can’t find it.

I’ve tried to duplicate this but don’t see it. Anti-aliasing is fine, and I can’t find any settings to turn it off (except for type).

Just as a shot in the dark, try to reset PS preferences.

Resetting the prefs… brings me back to my OS7 days… how could I forget that one. thanks! that seem to do the trick.

There must be an option somewhere to disable antialiasing – could be useful to know where.

For those following the thread, the new (err, I don’t know how new this really is….) way to reset the prefs is hold down the Shift-Ctrl-Alt while launching Photoshop.
