Antialiasing is a feature of modern graphics cards, used to smoothen the appearance jagged edges on 3D objects. Players who use antialiasing will often return PB screenshots with 2 "interlaced" images, resulting in the weird lines.

Interlaced images can be "de-interlaced" with many common image editors, for instance Adobe Photoshop or Paintshop Pro (commercial), or the GIMP (GNU public license). An easier option however (and another great reason to use this free utility) is orangepeel's SSChecker tool (both the standalone and browser plugin versions), this now includes the facility to de-interlace PB screenshots and is available from aliasfinder.co.uk.

By de-interlacing the example PB screenshots we get the following clean images:

aa_cod01_odd.png aa_cod02_odd.png aa_sof201_odd.png

aa_cod01_even.png aa_cod02_even.png aa_sof201_even.png
