Why is antialiasing not working - gib65 - 09-20-2020 Hello, I have a selection set and I want to fill it with the paint tool. I want the edges to be smooth so I turn on antialiasing: But as you can see from the image, the edges still seem fully pixelated. What am I doing wrong? How do I get antialiasing working with the paint tool? RE: Why is antialiasing not working - rich2005 - 09-20-2020 It will not be the bucket fill tool, look for something before that. Is / was the image in indexed mode when making the selection. should be using RGB It  might be the source of the selection, hard edges giving a hard selection. That is a small image, difficult to apply a tiny blur. How was the selection made. Most of the selection tools have an antialiasing tick box, should be on. Threshold should be greater  than zero. [attachment=4956] If all else fails. Select -> To Path then Select -> From Path replacing the existing selection. That is a last resort, try and get an anti-aliased selection in the first place. RE: Why is antialiasing not working - gib65 - 09-20-2020 Thanks rich, I wasn't able to get antialiasing working with the select tool, but your last resort worked (converted to path, then converted back to selection). I'm inclined to use that as a first resort. Any reason you say it should be a last resort?
