Pixel Art Scaling question

[Cosizzle]

Hey,

Sorry if this is a bit of a "newbish" kinda of question... but anyways here it goes:

Ive created a square cube, what I want to do is create another to add to it. Instead of creating a new one, why not duplicate and scale it. I did so but the angled lines get distorted when I goto to scale it. Im using Photoshop - is the any way to avoid this?

Thanks!!

Make sure you have scale on (1:1 scale ratio on width and height) and that any anti-alias is turned off. I don't have Photoshop but thats what i did in fireworks (in fireworks it was under the preferences).

I believe you don't have the possibility to turn the anti-alias option on/off when you scale objects. You'll have to take a lookt at the (re)sampling options and select 'nearest neighbor' instead of 'bilinear' or 'cubic'.

only way i know is through fireworks too:)
i agree with what templarian said. better export it and open in fireworks if you have it:D
