Thank you for the explanation.

Why did the forum reduce the image for me? Now it can only be viewed normally at 5x magnification. I apologize, I misnamed the tool. I was talking about the ellipse gradient. My mistake.

I apologize, I didn't see the possibility to attach a picture. I'll show you an example. On the left is drawn an ellipse of white color with alpha channel = 70 and the layer is set to transparency 255. On the right, a white ellipse is drawn with alpha channel = 255 and the layer is set to transparency 70. See what I'm talking about? It looks like the right ellipse has antialiasing applied, but the left ellipse does not.

An ellipse with transparency 70 drawn on a layer with transparency 255 is different from the same ellipse drawn with transparency 255 on a layer with transparency 70. Why are the results different?
