Why can Anti-aliasing setting in filter editor differ from presets?

Excuse me if this all seems blindingly obvious, but I'm a 'newbie' to editing filters, so I just need a little feedback on this.

To be honest haven't touched the FF anti-aliasing settings until recently when I noticed a jagged curve on the filter I'm working on, but now I'm slightly confused as to why you can have this set differently on each preset and for this to then differ from the editor setting.

This leads me to another question, do uploaded filter presets default to the editor anti-aliasing setting or should they all be checked before publishing?



Thanks

Thanks CFandM, for the I'll have to try and do that myself...next time.

I guess the reason why you can have individual AA settings for each preset is that you this way can finetune the antialias settings. More samples mean slower rendering, and some presets may look good enough even with lower sample count, so you should select the lowest AA sample count you can accept qualitywise for a given preset.

Hate when that happens
