it's not the right angles, it's the fine detail. Thin lines are the worst.
Unfortunately there's often no real cure other than to switch off the
adaptive sampling.

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.

Thanx in advance,

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!
