=== Anti-Aliasing ===Anti-aliasing is a feature used to render smoother textures to otherwise jagged edges of an object by sampling pixels and overlapping colors from adjacent pixels, thereby rendering a smoother texture to the object. This is commonly the default for tools such as the Text Tool in The Gimp. In the Text Tool the common user typically wants this feature enabled. That's fine, and expected. However, when selecting an area of the image to crop, it is not typical to have anti-aliasing enabled. Anti-Aliasing on the Selection Tools: The surge of Gimp, why the hell do the devs enable this PITA feature by default? For example, when you make a selection with the Ellipse Select Tool, anti aliasing is enabled by default. You won't notice it until later when you see a scum around the part of the image you cropped away and tried to fill with another color. Good grief! This is something most people would NOT want by default. You can tell devs are not application users.Selection ToolsThe four selection tools each have their own checkbox for anti-aliasing. You have to manually uncheck it for each tool prior to making the selection. If you noticed it too late, and try to use the UNDO tool then recrop with the same selection the software will not disable anti-aliasing even if you have it unchecked, another blunder by the Gimp devs.Image ScalingTo be able to rotate, deform or scale a floating selection with the corresponding tools we have to set Interpolation to None in the Tool Options to avoid anti-aliasing.Brush ToolsThe Paintbrush Tool "P" will have anti-aliasing enabled and only the brush hardness can have any impact on this. When using the Pencil Tool "N" you can use a brush with no alpha channel.
