The title says it all. How can I turn off anti-aliasing in CC 2019? I want my lines to look completely sharp and pixelated, so I'm looking to get rid of aliasing and any other settings that make brushes look soft, if any. Help is very much appreciated. :')

Hardly.

There are several points to address …

• For Transformations and rescaling: Photoshop > Preferences > Image Interpolation > Nearest Neighbor

• For painting: Instead of Brush use Pencil

• For the Selection Tools turn off Anti-aliasing in the Options Bar

…

Edit:

• For Vector Smart Objets see the Options Bar

• For creating Selections from Paths see the »Make Selection«-dialog

For text, use the drop-down menu to the left of the text alignment in the control panel (just below your menus) and change it to None.

Use the pencil... set your brush to 0 hardness. These are your only 2 options.

Brush hardness of 0 doesn't turn off anti-aliasing actually. Try it with a white brush on a black BG. Pencil for the win.
