Turning off anti-aliasing for PDF and EPS files (ImageReady)

The Anti-alias PostScript option removes jagged edges from a pasted or placed selection by making a subtle transition between the edges of the selection and its surrounding pixels. Turning off this option produces a hard-edged transition between pixels--and therefore the appearance of jagged edges--when vector artwork is rasterized.

Note: In Photoshop, you can deselect the Anti-alias option when you open or place a PDF or EPS file.

To turn off the Anti-alias PostScript option:

1. Do one of the following:
• In Windows or Mac OS 9.x, choose Edit > Preferences > General.
• In Mac OS X, choose ImageReady > Preferences > General.
2. Deselect Anti-alias PostScript. Clearing this option can decrease the time it takes to import the file.
