I asked this question about 2 years ago .. and nobody could help me with it. I'm wondering if someone might have a different take on it now ...
I have a CRT iMac ... when I open pictures in Preview ... the picture initially is very clear and sharp .. then about a second later ... it looks like some kind of filter kicks in and the picutre loses its clarity .. it gets a lot fuzzier. It's very frustrating as I know the pictures could be a lot clearer but I can't get them to stay that way. What is this wierd effect?
I have tried different resolution settings .. no difference.
I don't have this problem on my iBook ...
Running Panther 10.3.9 on both machines.

Antialising.
Check the preferences, it lets you turn it off.

I free'd my mind... now it won't come back.

Preview first uses a quick nearest-neighbor algorithm to scale images, and then replaces it with an antialiased scaled version once it has time to compute it. This behavior is normal.

Make sure the image is being viewed at 100% size; this disables the smoothing algorithm used by Preview.
Also, see an eye doctor. Seriously. The smoothing algorithm used by Apple should not be blurring pictures past the point of recognizability in someone with 20/20 vision.

You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!
