Here is a Anti-Aliasing Calculator that I made.
I originally did it in C++ but just re-coded it in PHP.
It's your guy's to use freely, tell me what you think.
Tell me any errors you find so I may fix them.

Thanks!

i guess sliders and realtime update would be nice, then again i don't need this, promotion has ramping :B
-
Great idea ptoing!
I shall start working on this!
-
Also howabout being able to put two hex codes in as another option other than the RGB values? Seems really neat btw. :0'
-
I noticed, the output is incorrectly formatted when any of the input values are < 16
for example:
# F F1E
is the AA color chosen for A=(10 10 10) B=(20 20 50)
I expected #0F0F1E
Yeah, realtime update is pretty important.
-
Yeah a slider so you could bias the values would be very nice, e.g. I usually blend at 35% or 65% rather than 50%. Maybe have a slider for the # of values to return also?
-
If the only thing in mind when you create a new buffer-shade is the two colors it's going to be buffering between, then you're not using that shade optimally. No automated tools are needed for this extremely human-intuition based choice, I think. But to each their own.
-
I think this is more for calculating just the anti-aliasing shade for people using apps that don't have brush transparency.
-
I just use photoshop pencil - if i want an AA shade is just press '5' (sets to 50% opacity) pencil over the color i want to make an aa shade with, 'i' - click the color, ctrl Z, and then set pencil back to 100% opacity. however, more often than not, i just chose my own AA color by eye, and i have found using desaturated tones for AA can work better. This wold be harder to implement into your calculator.
A sliding version would make more sense and would be more efficient. Props to your effort though - not many people would go to the effort to make tools like these.

Heh, you do know that you can just press ALT for the colour picker, and that doing undo is unnecessary in that case, except when you set the pixel on a different layer? It won't have any transparency to it :)
I guess this is more fancy than my old AA-colourfinder :D http://omr.planet-d.net/trash/aac.zip

Nope, it's not. That is actually where I got the idea for mine at.
Mine was so it didn't exit everytime.
It also was set so the output was in the color outputed color for AA.

Ummm, I use Mac OS X so color picker is I.

he means that you can be using the pencil tool, and hold down the alt key while still on pencil to temporarily switch to the eye dropper. this is a big helper for speed!
-
add a div where the background-color equals the result, it would be good for copy and paste preview
-
good work goboom
i just dont get how it works! ;D

:o... I've been using photoshop for years... I wonder how many other sneaky shortcuts there are!
thanks!

You simply take your 2 RGB values and enter them in, and blamo! out comes your perfect 50% AA color.

I think he was looking for something more like this:
aa_r = (c1_r + c2_r) / 2
aa_g = (c1_g + c2_g) / 2
aa_b = (c1_b + c2_b) / 2
