Hope you like these, thanks for viewing.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Yes, it's the only way I can get rid of the jaggies. There's something screwy between FS and my video card. I have to edit every single one manually and I've been experimenting with gausian blur. In some, it works out pretty good, others look a bit blurred. I can't quite figure out what's going on, but I keep trying different things. Right now, I have AA unchecked in FS, as it is on on the video card. But it did not seem to make a difference anyway.

May I recommend making your blur tool a bit smaller, just large enough to trim the edges...

Also, what kind of set up do you have? Post your settings and I bet some of the pro's here can get you set up just right!

(Me personally I have anti-alias turned on both in FS and on my video card, with trilinear filtering, I use a GeForce 8500GT vid card on an intel core 2 quad, it's mid level so my shots aren't top notch, I still get the occasional jaggie, but for the most part my shots seem fairly smooth)

Ok, thanks. Are you talking about my system, FS, or both as to the settings?
Also, I've tried using the blur tool and also the freehand selection tool with the blur menu/gausian blur. Nothing seems to get rid of the jaggies without over blurring the whole thing.

I was referring to your computer rig, what kind of machine, video card, processor, that sort of stuff. These details will usually bring out the true FS nerds from the wood work, and they are full of info on how to boost your shots Wink

If they don't show, just cruise the forums a bit more, that's how I learned how to improve my shots.

Thanks, that's what I thought you were referring to.
It's a 2.6 GHz Intel P4, 512 mb ram, Radeon 9800 pro running XP, SP2
with about 30 gig freespace on an 80 gig drive. It's an older machine that has been taxed to the max and had more than it's share of problmes. It has needed more ram for a while now, but I can't afford to upgrade.

Yeah a few upgrades couldn't hurt, but I imagine there are some tweaks out there that might lighten the load on your machine.
