Preventing aliasing

[Primitive]

The one layerstyle that causes a lot of aliasing artifacts for me is Stroke. I almost never use that one on curved lines, instead I've come up with a way of faking stroke with outer glow.

A quick and not very good looking example, but it shows the difference:

What do you do when beveling curved corners? Or curves in general? I thought I came across a solution on this somewhere, but now I cant remember where the tutorial is grrr.

I do not have a technique to get rid of aliasing in the Layer Style-dialog. But I've got some ways to get along without one.

If I would bevel text I'd make sure that I have some sort of AA on the text itself.

The pencil-tool is pretty hopeless to bevel, it has to be the brush.

When bevelling shapes, make sure that anti-aliased is turned on. Then there is no way that any aliasing will occur no matter how many curves you got. http://upl.mine.nu/uplfolders/upload3/bevelledshapes.jpg
