Antialias edges suggestions?

[qwerty123]

I've looked into some documentation on a anti-aliasing approach in fractal rendering program and apparently the algorithm used in anti-aliasing is in principle different then smoothing, blurring and median filter solutions, so the post processing in Photoshop will ALWAYS destroy information, while proper anti-aliasing will assign different alpha strength to the edge pixels... anyway, every little bit helps... thank you

I think all is good that ends up looking good for user. In the end it does not matter how it was done.

And sometimes it can be quite simple. For example, some anti-alias effect can be achieved just by shifting its copy under original by 1-2 pixel several times in different angles with different opacity. Sometimes this alone is just enough
