In the end they'll probably be vectorized. Sometimes it's quicker for me to shave a few pixels off a solid rectangle that previously existed. I have Photoshop issues.
@Matt I do indeed. Exclusively in fact (I never dug into Illustrator but probably should). But likely makes it easier to mix pixel work like in this shot with vector shapes.

Rough WIP icons for a client mock. I still like using crude aliasing by hand for approximating final designs.

@ Pete, that hurts my feelings man. I can't give birth to a layer without naming it.

I'll name folders. Naming layers is pushing it!

I do love a good aliased corner.
That sounds suspect.

i've said it before, i'll say it again:
photoshop layers need line numbers like code. Not just "Layer 26"

I'll admit it. I use vector shapes in Photoshop too. And I don't care who knows it!
