In Photoshop, I've found that when rotating a smart object with sharp straight edges at small angles (20 degrees or less, say) the edges would appear somewhat jagged.
It almost looked as though there was no anti-aliasing. Closer examination revealed that there was anti-aliasing, there just wasn’t enough. I couldn’t find any obvious solution. On one occasion while experiencing this problem I thought I would try to rasterize the layer and see if there was any change. There was no effect. On another occasion I thought I would try something different. As an experiment I rasterized the layer before I rotated it. Amazingly the object edge no longer had the jagged appearance it had before. Upon closer examination I could see that there was definitely more anti-aliasing than before.
In the image below, the upper rectangle is a rotated shape layer while the lower rectangle was rasterized before rotation.
Note the difference in the amount of anti-aliasing.
