I do have another question then. Even if I feather an object individually, as before, only the edges are feathered. What if I want to apply an anti-alias effect over the entire object, so that lines within an object get the effect as well? For instance, let's say I draw a stick figure robe object like this: How would I obtain an anti-aliasing effect on the entire object? Or should I actually draw everything with an anti-alias effect, and then feather them when I put them together so that they blend properly instead? (I'm hoping I don't have to do it that way, because that means I'll have to redraw a whole bunch of things again. )

Ah. See, that is what I was not doing. I feel silly now because that's actually pretty obvious. Thank you.

Hmm...I seem to have a slight issue with using the feather plugin. I made a base comic with two panels, and had each panel on a separate layer. I tried to use the feather plugin to feather the second panel, but when I applied it, all it did was feather the edges of the black lines around the panel and left everything else inside alone. I have another plugin that gives me an option to "feather selection" but I've experimented with this on a number of things and as far as I can tell it does nothing at all. Obviously I'm using something incorrectly, but what?

Right. I found it. Thank you. I should have searched first before asking. Though I do have an additional question, one that might also be stupid (I have very little experience with graphics programs and am learning as I go): Can I apply an anti-aliasing effect to already anti-aliased objects and have them blend in properly, or would I have to redo all of my currently made templates in aliased form and then apply the filter?

This may sound like a really stupid question, but I'm working on creating a stick figure comic of sorts using Paint.NET, and I want to use templates, only when I copy something over as a template when it has anti-aliasing, it looks horrible and I have to try to clean it up which ultimately defeats the purpose of the anti-aliasing. So what I'm wondering is if there is a built-in tool or a plugin or what have you to take an image and apply antialiasing to the whole thing. (That way I can have the effects of anti-aliasing without having to try to clean things up.)
