Now that Tom Higgins and other gurus are on board, please allow me to bring my question up again (see below). I posted this during the weekend and got no replies, maybe it was the wrong time!
So, if any of you guys has an answer, thanks in advance for posting it!

I have to use the copypixels command to copy a rectangular source image into a non-rectangular (quad) image using something like pointL = [point(825, 712), point(2269, 592), point(2452, 1365), point(861, 1515)] targetImg.copyPixels(sourceImg, pointL, sourceImg.rect]) The result is very pixelated. I compared targetImg.copyPixels(sourceImg, pointL, sourceImg.rect], [#useFastQuads : TRUE]) targetImg.copyPixels(sourceImg, pointL, sourceImg.rect], [#useFastQuads : FALSE]) targetImg.copyPixels(sourceImg, pointL, sourceImg.rect], [#dither : 1215]) targetImg.copyPixels(sourceImg, pointL, sourceImg.rect], [#dither : 1969]) but got NO different results. All resulting images look the same: very nasty! (Dir 8.5.1, win2k) At least the #useFastQuads thing is officially documented. Why could it be that I get no different results? Has anyone of you tested those and the other two parameters and found them work differently? When I make my quad operation to a significantly (x 2, x 3) larger image and scale that down afterwards, the results are a little better, but still poor. Not comparable to the smoothness of those images, distorted in Photoshop. Do I have to live with that or is there any way of getting Photoshop quality in Director? Thanks to all who'd share their experience!
