At first I thought it was a graphics card issue, then maybe Open GL settings, or perhaps a corrupt Photoshop install and so on and so on…. Seriously, this issue had me stumped for months. All the while I could not work with vector art from Illustrator in Photoshop (unless I opted to paste my vectors into Photoshop as a path or shape layer – but that wasn’t always ideal).

The fix? It’s so simple – but not very visible.

Immediately after you hit ‘paste’ in Photoshop and choose ‘smart object’, a little ‘Anti-alias’ check box appears next to the ‘Set rotation’ input area. Make sure that tiny little box is ticked and your vectors will be safe.

It was a ‘light bulb’ moment for me when I found this little tick box. It’s so good to be working with Illustrator vectors in Photoshop again.

Skala Preview sends lossless, colour accurate image previews to any iOS device. Previews are pixel perfect. Colours are identical to how the final app or website will look on the device.

Unlike some other preview apps, Skala View doesn’t interfere with the design process. In fact, it may even improve it. http://bjango.com/mac/skalapreview/
