Pixel Perfection When Rotating, Pasting And Nudging In Photoshop (Smashing Magazine)

When creating Web and app interfaces, most designers slave over every single
pixel, making sure it?s got exactly the right color, texture and position. If
you?re not careful, though, some common functions like moving, rotating and
pasting can undo your hard work, resulting in a blurry mess. But with some
small changes to your workflow, you should be able to maintain the highest-
quality artwork from the start to the end of the project.

If you?re not careful, rotating layers in Photoshop can damage them in a very
noticeable, pixel-mashing way. When rotating layers with Free Transform (and
some other tools) to exactly 90 or 270�, the quality of the outcome is
determined by the layer?s size. If the layer is of an even width and even
height, then you?ll be fine. If it?s of an odd width and odd height, you?ll
also be okay. But if they?re of an odd width by even height or even width by
odd height, then you?ll see something like the result below.
