I work with the drawing tools in photoshop a great deal to enhance my Poser renderings. One of the things I use it for is to make the hair more realistic by drawing individual strands of hair over whatever hair prop has been rendered in Poser. The problem is, it's difficult or impossible to anti-alias drawings done in Photoshop. This means that the 1-pixel strands I draw in the hair usually look pretty clunky and awkward; if you zoom in by them, it's obvious that they aren't lines, but series of colored squares set next to each other. Is there a way to use anti-aliasing in freehand linework drawn in Photoshop? (BTW, I'm pretty sure anti-aliasing is in effect when you use the 'stroke' feature to outline a selected area; and when the line tool draws on an angle, anti-aliasing seems to be in effect.) If not, does Painter have any drawing tools that might be able to do this?
