Grateful Dave 0 Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 Greetings and Thanks. Please see attached. Layer 2 is a copy of Layer 1 and they look identical when one or the other is turned on. But when both Layers are turned on, then the pixels get darker as if the shade/color of the individual pixels are doubling up. I assume this has to do with the Antialiasing setting, but my brain does not compute. Can you please tell me why this is happening? Details in attached. Also, can you please recommend a YouTube tutorial on understanding Antialiasing? I keep losing image quality and don't know why. Thank you, Dave the Newbie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
