Hi
I'm using Photoshop 7.0.1 in Windows XP. When I draw a Rectangle with the "Rectangle Tool" it looks as though the edges are a bit fuzzy or aliased. I want the edges to be sharp and crisp -- I cannot find where to turn off aliasing...
Can anyone assist?
Applying a Stroke doesn't seem to help. Inner, Outer or Center. I'm using a state of the art LCD monitor -- it's VERY crisp and sharp -- bitmaps look fine and unaliased... so it's not my monitor... nor is it the X/Y coordinates. My rectangle is not sitting in nor stretched to, fractional pixels; using full pixel dimensions and positions.
I.E.
400.0 x 100.0 not 400.5 x 100.5
I know there has to be a way to get my shapes non-aliased. Thanks.

I think that's just the way the preview is when you make a Shape Layer. It's really a vector but they display it "soft". Try using the other option that makes a pixel rectangle with anti-aliasing unchecked in the Options Bar.

Use a shape when you want to create a rectangle. In the layers tool list, it will also show a layer mask for the shape. Once you have gotten what you need done....disable the mask and then rasterize the layer.
