    Hi there! Super newbie to the forum, but not to digital scrapbooking.

    Here's my problem: The last couple times I have been working on a page I have had issues with rotating images in photoshop. They look distorted after rotating and I can't figure it out. I can adjust the size without problems, but when I rotate pictures to clip them in a template they have pixelated lines and things on them. I also noticed it happening with the frame that goes around the pictures when I rotate them too.

    I've added a picture so you can see what I'm describing. The front dark layer is pixelated and the layers behind it are still pretty. :)

    I've never noticed it be this drastic before. I would love some help/guidance if anyone has any advice to offer. It's possible I've adjusted a setting and don't know about it... photoshop is tricky like that. [​IMG]

    THANK YOU everyone!!

    I notice that if I am zoomed in at an amount that is greater than 100% Could that be it?

    Sometimes it looks like that until you commit to the transformation. Does the pixelation stay after you've hit enter/the checkmark?

    Does it still look like this after you apply the rotation? Because mine does this as it's in preview mode but once I apply the rotation, it is sharp again...

    Huggles!!

    Welcome to the TLP forum, glad you decided to ask here!
    I would ask what level you are zoomed in at as well-a diagonal line can look 'pixely' because as you'd know, a straight vertical or horizontal line is a lot of squares stacked next to each other and rotating the line will show u the edges of each individual tiny square more defined
