 I'm working on architectural shots right now, probably the worst anyone's
likely to get for aliasing. I'll keep you posted and if you want to nudge me in
a couple of weeks then that's fine, but for this kind of work I'm pretty sure:-

 min/max: 1,2 or 2,2. at 1,2 set threshold to around 0.1, less for fine but
contrasty detail is probably not going to get you much and at 2,2 the threshold
is irelevant. And Chris is right, turninng on dithering will amke a big
difference.

   You need to play with this, but a lower threshold, maybe .025, and maybe a
min max of +1,+3.
   Try changing the min max first.
   Like Kim said, architecture is always a pain!
