The amount of anti-aliasing that Preivew does to pictures drives me up the bloody wall sometimes as so many pictures end up with a "soft fuzzy look" to them. Is there any way to turn off anti-aliasing when using Preview in 10.3?

Yeah it only does anti-aliasing on images if you look at them at reduced size... if it did not, then you would be complaining your images were all jagged and what not.

At actual size and enlarged size, it does not anti-alias the images.

I don't know how you can turn it off, but in its prefs under the images tab, you can check to always scale images to actual size.

Damn, that's not encouraging. Oh well.
