What is the best technique to use to remove the jagged edges from an image? I know that I need to use anti-aliasing, but what is the appropriate method to anti-aliasing in Ani Pro? Judy

Judy – First, make sure you are working against the final background. The "anti-alias" changes will look wrong if the background changes (maybe not a lot, maybe a lot). Then try the UNZAG ink. This tries to just fix diagonal lines – without adding an intermediate line of pixels to true verticals or horizontals. Or, try the the SMOOTH ink, but this is a much stronger effect and blurs details. You can try UNZAG on a whole frame (or FLC), but you might find applying it in selected locations produces a better look (though it is more time consuming). Chuck Jameson Silver Tongue Software

Thanks I will give it a try! Right now the images are just on a transparent color background. Judy

Judy, on what are you working ?? so many questions in AniPro <g>. The easiest way to learn AniPro is to go to all of the tutorials, they are really good. Charles is right, with UNZAG an SMOOTH. But there are another tow INKS for AA. Use SOFTEN for a strong AA or UNBUZZ where you can ajust the strenght. An easy way to AA the eges in the final image is to use the AA INKS in combination with the EDGE TOOL. Ingo

I have been through most of the tutorial — I did skim through the ones which dealt with the business presentation<g>. I will try your suggestion. Thanks Judy
