warping text doesn't stay smooth

hi, i'm semi-new to using photoshop. this may be a dumb inquiry, but i can't seem to figure it out.

i've been trying to figure out how to warp rasterized text (or, really anything) and keep it looking smooth.

here's what it looks like before clicking OK:

and here's after:

it looks a lot more jagged and less clean. is there any way to prevent this, and keep it looking the way it does before clicking OK? thanks.

You definitely don't want Bilinear or Nearest Neighbor, but one of the Bicubic settings.

Resampling

I would go with the default of Bicubic Automatic, restart photoshop and see if that makes any difference.
