The next question I asked myself, "Am I just blurring this thing into LOOKING like it's been semi-antialiased?" So I took the original in #1, and ran a Gaussian Blur at 1 pixel radius on the image... The top one is the EQ'd image-chunk, and the bottom is the Gaussian Blur image-chunk, same selection for both... (again, the .jpg compression on all these is luckily set to lossless, and still below the 200KB limit somehow... Riptide rules!)
