>> One more quick question on anti-aliasing and Animator Studio: << steven, quick note… your quota of anti-alising questions is unlimited here. post all the questions you need to. 🙂 >> If I have a pre-existing bitmap that contains text that I need to anti-alias, how do I do it in AS? << whole bunch of ways to do this. >> I just recently received AS.. and from my limited understanding and going through the tutorials, it seems the way to do it is to: 1) select the text to be anti-aliased, 2) select the UnZag ink, 3) apply ink to selection << this works. have you used airbrush to do this? (also works)… soften ink works well too. another option if the original font you used was a .TTF, you can reapply the text normally using alpha channel after cloning the background clear of the text. whole lotta ways. experiment experiment experiment! >> My question is, is this the right way? Also, is the UnZag ink the extent of the anti-aliasing in AS? << no "right way" to do anything in AStduio, and there are several ways to achieve anti-aliasing (Unzag Ink included). -dave
