Is there a way to resize an image in PS without having half transparencies around the edges? (I'm resizing icons, and looking for a way to size them with full opacity
Thanks!

This seems to be a feature of newer versions of Photoshop - I swear it never used to do this.

I've been looking for a solution and haven't turned up with anything. You would think it would be as easy as turning off aliasing or something

resize with nearest neighbor. it might make the inner bits chunky though.

As far as I know the only way is to make about 6 layer duplicates then flatten them all back down into a single layer.

Or, make a mask of/at the icon boundaries, then extend the edge of the icon (invisibly, behind the mask), then resize, then clean up and apply the mask.

brains - no, 64x64@192dpi -> 44x44@131dpi
& they are only simple squares with 2-3px rounded corners.

Since we're talking about Photoshop...is there a way to have Photoshop have an application background without having to put the document in fullscreen mode? I'm talking about CS4 on OSX. I can't find anything on Google. I'm on dual ACD's and it bugs the hell out of me. Right now, it doesn't have an app background and I see everything on my desktop around the comp window. Same thing goes for Illustrator. Is there a way to make it look and work like Flash or AE where the app fills the monitor or how it looks like on a PC?
- this drives me nuts. im also unaware of a fix. i press 'f' sometimes to fullscreen the window, but thats a shit workaroundbaseline_shift
- FullScreen With Menus, under view Screen mode? is that what you are trying to achieve?rusty_ace

flatten first if they are squares

^ Fullscreen is your only option. What I do to get around that is use spaces and always have PS open in a dedicated space to reduce the clutter.
- Errrr, that sucks. Wonder why they did that or what advantage having no app BG has.fyoucher1
- Its a mac thing more than an Adobe thingninjasavant

This question came up the other day when I was talking to a few scientist friends of mine. They mentioned seeing it done, but that the hardware that was required to do the operation in less than a few days was well off into the horizon of the consumer market. I wasn't able to untangle all of their technical jargon, but it seems like the problem is that a computer, by its very binary nature, can only do one operation at a time. The task that you speak of is actually multiple operations, so the computer must think through each step linearly, not at the same time. My recommendation would be to contact the computer science department at your state university, some of those guys are experimenting with a scheme of multiple processors capable of actually dividing the tasks out. Very exciting, you should see it in person, if you can get clearance.

that is why smart objects were invented.
you will probably have to resizse outside of photoshop then redrag in.

meatball - couldn't you make your icon using the "U" tool with "shape layers" selected. Then add blending options etc.
It can be scaled without loss with "transform"r

what ATB here said. The day I discovered shape layers my whole life changed. It sounds dramatic but its true.
