HELP!! How do you turn OFF aliasing on scale operations?

Hi,

I am curious if there is any way to turn off auto aliasing on raster layers that are either standard of a smart object. For example I have a rastered layer with simply a circle with no anti-aliasing so there is no blending of the layer with anything else. My problem is if I resize this down Photoshop automatically adds aliasing to the layer. Is there any way to turn this auto aliasing on scaling OFF?

We are using CS3 - thanks!

Many thanks for any help.

Regards,
Nick.

Go to preferences...general and change the image interpolation to nearest neighbor. When sizing down, you might try bilinear. Make sure to change it back when working on photos!
