Rich_R Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hi all, I'm after an anti-aliasing plug-in so looked in the forum (plus other places) but a lot of the links / downloads appear to be quite a few years old. What's the current best plug-in for AA? Or an older one that is still recommended? TIA :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Welcome to the forum @Rich_R My favorite AA is this one, called AA's Assistant and can be found here: 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Rich_R Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hi again Pixey, so I downloaded the AA Assistant and installed it correctly (copied the .dll files into the correct directory). The AA Assistant now appears in the menus under Effects > Object. However I cannot get it to do anything...I've actually watched a video on how to use it, as shown below. When they open the dialog box for the plug-in, it appears to apply the effect straight away. This doesn't happen with my version, and when I click OK nothing happens. In fact no matter what I do I can't get the plug-in to make any noticeable changes to any images I'm trying it on. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong???

It performs edge anti-aliasing; meaning the object you're running the plugin on needs to have transparent edges. 1 Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.
