Outline has very poor anti-aliasing


Recommended Posts

How have you produced that? 

What is the line width, is it a curve or a pixel brush?

Also, are you talking about the Outline layer effect or something else?

An example file showing your issue would make it a lot easier to understand what you mean.

because this is nearly unusable

I am quite satisfied with the quality of antialiasing (inside and outside).

Blend Option manipulation? Used to cancel antialiasing.

So I guess this has to do with the hardness setting and perhaps spacing as well?

(These two brushes are just the Basic soft and hard brushes with added pressure sensitivity on flow and size.)

 

Still very weird that a softer brush gives an uglier harder edge...

 

And there's no softness setting on the outline effect.

 

So I guess I have to stick to hard brushes if I want a usable outline (that's fine, it was just a bit weird).
