Of course, Chroma keying or any other compositing operation should be used with the anti-alias tool that is currently in IP… when you're dealing with low resolution, anti-aliasing will likely be a major factor in any image you create. Images that are larger and so have more built-in resolution, will not have the problem, as the edges will be as fine as the images _actual_ resolution will permit. The display on the Amiga screen can't show this unless you clip in close. However. :^) The new buffer-as-transparency will help as you say… and, for operations that are not Chroma keyed, we've built in a new type of Merge operation that provides the same functionality as Merge, except the image is anti-aliased, both in the re-scaling and in the insertion into the primary image.
