Disable Subpixels Entirely
Hey,
I'm trying to use photoshop in various ways now, one of which includes manipulating low pixel images. Generally, most tools work really well, except for the transform. From what I understand, Transform places the selection content based on subpixel values, regardless of what settings I have for nearest neighbor and AA. This usually means I have to do most of my transforms twice. Here's what happens:
> I place the content where I want based on what the transformed selection and content shows. it would in theory line up perfectly with what I would want, on a pixel basis. I hit execute.
> The content gets placed incorrectly due to it (seemingly randomly) nudging the selection to what I assume to be the nearest rounded pixel of the selection? Generally the content is off by an entire pixel. The smaller the content, the more unacceptable this is.
> I have to then reselect the content and nudge it whichever direction using an arrow key.
Obviously this is horribly inefficient for a workflow. It's also frustrating to work with.
On some larger pixel projects I've worked with, if AA happens to be on it even sometimes bleeds an extra column of pixels towards the opposite direction of where it shifted to, straight up destroying the art especially on projects with higher layer counts and repeated assets.
Is there any way to just defacto disable Subpixels? In my situation where anything and everything smoothing and AA is unwanted. I'd really like to just turn them off and have every pixel be calculated on an integer basis. This is enough of reason to even stop using Photoshop for this type of work in my case, which would kind of suck since I'm so familiar with all the functionality of it.
