I like the old anti-aliasing better
Authored by: bryanzak on Apr 11, '02 02:09:47PM

Because what you're seeing in Carbon anti-aliasing (which is really just the old QuickDraw anti-aliasing) in a word...sucks. If recall correctly, QD AA only uses 4 levels of color mixing.

"Cocoa" anti-aliasing, which is really Quartz (Core Graphics) anti-aliasing uses up to 256 mixes. Much, much better.

Your comment is the first I've heard saying that QD AA is better. I don't know anyone, including about 30 artists, that aren't in love with Quartz. (Of course, that comment will likely bring people out of the woodwork :)
