   Thanks a lot, Justin. Always HATED the aliasing, however was unsure how to deal with it.

   Will try this technique right away. Thanks!

   more notes after a good discussion with @marcedwards:

   - using the layer mask palette to feather won't work, it rounds to nearest integer, and we need adjustment by tenths.

   - using a blur is acceptable for a flat shape, but many times we'll be working with meaningful content (like a screenshot). that's why putting the antialiasing responsibility on the mask is beneficial: it leaves the display content unaltered

   Not to be a hater, but this solution looks a bit too blurry I think. I'd almost prefer the former version.
