I wanted to make a "my world" type of image (like this one //www.dpchallenge.com/how.php?HOW_ID=42 ), but the jagged edges on long skinny objects keeps messing up my worlds. example: //img129.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitled1uk4.jpg
Is there any way to un-jag the jagged edges?
Thanks!

| The simple answer is increase the resolution. At some point, when there are too few pixels to work with, diagonal lines will always experience "jaggies" -- think of pixels as small square colored tiles, building up the image as a mosaic. |

To expand a little on GeneralE's response. Start with a higher-res image. If a hi-res original is not available, decrease the size of the final image.

Hmm. I was fearing those kinds of replies lol. If I made my starting image any bigger, my computer would probably explode :P I guess it looks OK if I make the final picture smaller, I was just hoping there was some sort of filter or technique that would fix the jaggies. Oh well.
Thanks :)

Well, anyplace you have an option to use anti-aliasing, use it.
If you're downsampling in PS CS (or later) or later versions of Elements, the standard recommendation is to use the Bicubic Sharper algorithm. |

I have found from experience, if you are downsizing something with obvious diagnol lines, then use Bicubic Smoother to keep the jaggies down. The difference is remarkable. |

| Hmm. After some searching, I think I know what you're talking about (I'm a newbie photographer and photoshopper) I don't think I can really fix it because it's not resizing that's causing the problem. See, I start out with a huge (~80 inches by ~15 inches, or 5897x1037 pixels) panorama, I apply the polar coordinates filter, and then I stretch the image to a big square. It's that polar coordinates/stretching that causes the jaggies, and there's no anti-aliasing option. |

| any idea where this Polar filter is in CS2? |
