and i would theorize
that the more AA applied
the more sharpening needed
the less "real" fine detail
and the more "invented" fine detail.

therefore
less 3 dimensionality
less illusion of surface and substance
more digital (digitized) appearance.

i understand the subjective nature of what i'm saying
i'm do not intend to "argue" the point.

simply discussing a quest for a "look" and "feel" in the prints
