Why is Photoshop now giving me sharp pixels instead of smooth pixels when I copy from Illustrator?

Question

So I'm trying to copy objects from Illustrator and paste them into Photoshop. I've done this hundreds of times before, but now I'm having issues where the pixels are ending up super sharp and jagged instead of smooth like they used to be. Did I accidentally trip a setting somewhere?

Thanks!

Please select »Smart Object«, click »OK« and post a meaningful screenshot.

I see it now, thanks! I didn't know where the anti-alias setting was.

So the issue was that I had "Anti-alias" unchecked.

1. Paste the object from Illustrator into Photoshop

2. Select the desired option in the "Paste" menu

3. In the options bar, check the "Anti-alias" option

4. Then click the checkmark to complete

@Michael30621428f7dz  Please show your options bar. It might be the anti-alias is turned off and needs to be turned on.
