Quich Photoshop Question

[BadChad]

So Im using PS CS5 and I notice that when I drop PNG (mostly screenshots) images on the template they blur out once you set it in place losing the pixel effect. Then when I move it around it goes back to pixel. Does anyone know how how I can set my PNG's to stay in pixel form once dropped into place? Thanks.

i did not understand very well, but try to rasterize the image, right click on layer of the image and rasterize layer,

[BadChad]

Yeah, Ive already tried rasterizing the layer. Heres a couple pics that should help explain a little better:



The image displays in its proper pixel form while I have it in transform to resize it but then once I apply it, it re-renders it blurred. But then if I have it in transform again it goes back to its pixel form untill I set it down again almost like theres a setting on that automatically re-renders PNG images or something. Ive tried a few things and cant seem to figure it out.

Is it rgb? If its on index switch to rgb.

[BadChad]

Its already set to rgb

then set image interpolation to nearest neighbor.

Judging from the images you posted, you're needing this to resize screenshots? I don't know why you'd want to preserve the pixel-ness of screenshots though... It's not like the games would EVER look that sharp on a real tv. Those graphics were meant to be blurred really.

Thanks man. That worked. The only reason Im keeping the screens in pixel form is because Im getting a few templates ready for some of the TG16 games I have on the way and I noticed that Ektophase has been keeping his screens that way I just figured Id keep them consistent with his covers.

Ah okay. Makes sense to me.
