A question which has been bugging me for a while now, is what causes those jagged edges? They seem to get worse, the smaller the photo is made, and they can still appear even if the correct 3/2 ratio is used. Why is this, and more importantly, how can you reduce the effects, or stop them happening in the first place? Does going 'filterless' solve this problem, or at least help it?
Any thoughts on this matter will be read with interest!!!! Thanks.

Jaggies are mostly caused by a digital technique called 'sharpening', which makes your photos less 'soft'. Sharpening is best applied selectively in post-processing to prevent these jaggies. If your photos are jagged straight out of the camera, you should probably turn automatic in-camera sharpening off.

Thanks Gerado
I'm not sure if you are an expert or not, but can you provide me with a little more info. At smaller szies I seem to have more jaggies than larger sizes. Can I do anything bout this when edtting, or can some setting be changed?
Thanks.

At smaller sizes you are essentially moving all those individual pixels into a smaller space. Obviously its all relative but on doing that you tend to create jaggies. But what you must remember is that your monitor plays a large part on this too. My Dell Ultrasharp 19" seems to generate more jaggies than my old CRT.

Thanks Colin, it makes sense what you say. I too have a Dell 17 or 19 Flat screen monitor, so maybe that has something to do with it. I shall trall through my rejections at work and compare them to the photos on my home PC.
