Smart Object Pixelation Issues

[bfcreativenyc1]

Hi,

Why is it that some logos I bring into Photoshop as smart objects look fine while others look pixelated? Is there anything I can do to improve that?

Thanks!

Bicubic Automatic.

Bicubic Automatic I believe uses Bicubid Sharper when its down sizing.  IMO the does not work well when what is being resized is very sharp and crisp to begin with. Sharpening artifacts set in.

For me as well.

I created a group of objects, all vector, and with some type. All vector and scalable to whatever size without problems inside the group. But, if I turn it into an smart object, everything gets pixelated like if it was raster... pretty weird, And my "antialias" box is disabled, and greyed out.

Can someone post a fix for this? This didn't happen before... I am using latest version of CC

No.

You do not seem to understand what a Smart Object created in Photoshop is, it is a psb, so a vector Smart Object in the Smart Object is expressed as pixels in the containing document.

Ok.
Understood. It's a shame though, I think.

Hi Chris Cox,

I feel like I never heard the answer to khemist000 re " ...This seems like it would fix the same issue that Im having as the original poster, HOWEVER, my Anti-Alias checkbox is greyed out and cannot be clicked. Am I missing a step?" I'm having the same problem Why is the anti-alias box greyed out?
