I am trying to create a curved line in PS 7 using my pen tool. When I fill it in with a color and view the actual pixels, the edges are jagged. How can I make them smooth . . . and not blurry?

Thanks,
Zoe

A Photoshop picture is made of pixels–little squares of color. You can never get a perfectly smooth curve with pixels; can’t be done.

What are you using this image for? Web? Print?

I am using this image for print. I am learning that I really need to expand my knowledge of Illustrator. I love Photoshop . . . I wish that I could do everything it it but, I am doing some minor graphic design work for a friend and thus, realizing I need to pick up some books!

Thanks for the help.
