Hi,

CS6

I know how to convert path to an anti aliased selection with shades of red when con to quick mask, or grey if viewed in channel.

I have a sharp edged cross I need as sharp edged, no anti aliasing in other words, where can I make paths aliased as opposed to anti aliased ?

 

Also stroke path, again sometimes I need steppy edges aliased, I can only seem to get the softies.

 

Cheers

 

Merlin

If the selection is already loaded/active, hit Q to enter quick mask mode and run a 50% threshold on the temp QM channel, then press q to exit and return to a selection.

    You can right click inside the path, click Make Selection and uncheck Anti-aliased.

     

     

     

     

    Use the Pencil Tool to stroke paths aliased.
