A good technique for doing anti-aliasing of bitmap images in Photoshop is
to:

1) Scale up 200 - 400 (using bilinear or bicubic, the default works fine)
2) Apply a Median filter
3) Scale back down.

Works good. You can check out what it looks like at the bottom of this page:

So, one would have to build a scaling and media filter DLL to RR.

best,
