When I open the following image in Photoshop (CS5):



This is how it appears, and how it saves:



For some reason, the aliasing is ignored and the edges become completely jagged. Can anyone explain why this would be happening, and how to avoid it?

Update: Seems this is the issue it stems from: Why can't Photoshop properly open this PNG? Fireworks opens and saves it fine.

The original file looks like a minified PNG file. Unfortunately, Adobe Photoshop cannot save images as indexed PNG files with alpha transparency, and Photoshop CS5 and below cannot even display them properly. The file itself was probably generated with tinypng or similar. You could maybe try their plugin for Photoshop and see if that will let you open that file and save it without loss of quality on the edges.

Edit: if you have access to fireworks, it should also be able to open and render the file correctly.
