If you are getting original images from sites like pldh.net or spriters resource, they will be at a 1:1 ratio.
They do not normally need to be changed in size, just placed into the box with lots of space around it

However, if you do need to change the size, and by distorted edges I assume you mean blurry, then there are few ways to do it, but this is my easy way I found while digging.
When resizing, change its aliasing method from Bicubic Soother (which is Photoshops default one) to "Nearest Neighbour"

Spoiler

Then when changing size, keep it at doubles. ( 25% 50 %100% 200% 400% 800%) And it will stay nice and happy.

You can refine the edges, but the tool in Photoshop will not do a good job of it. It would either need to be done manually, or just start over again.
When you blur an image, it blurs all of it, even the edges.

There is a file named meffect.pwo inside the files, which contains the links and values for all moves. They link up with the animations inside the interface folder of the client skin
