Smoothie removes the jagged edges from pictures produced in your drawing and presentation applications using true subpixel anti-aliasing for superior results. It can be used to anti-alias single pictures, batch process many pictures, or even process an entire slide show for use in presentations as a Smoothie Slideshow or a QuickTime movie.

Anti-aliasing is the central technology in Smoothie. The basic operation in anti-aliasing is to fill in the jagged edges between two colors with intermediate colors. Look closely at the before and after picture below to see the dramatic difference anti-aliasing makes for on screen graphics.

Smoothie has a very useful batch processing facility. This allows you to process either a scrapbook file filled with pictures or a folder filled with PICT files. Output can be either a scrapbook file of pictures, a Smoothie Slideshow, or a QuickTime movie.

Smoothie Slideshows are particularly useful when you are smoothing an on-screen presentation created in programs like Persuasion and PowerPoint.

For Smoothie to do its job, you need to create a vector picture, that is, one made up of lines, other graphics, and text. Smoothie will not smooth pictures containing only bitmaps.

Limitations:
Registration Screen at startup.
