Are you using the newest version of Photoshop? Try using the select subject tool. With the magic wand or the quick selection selected, the button will be at the top of your screen in the options bar. You might have to do a tiny bit of cleanup in select and mask, but it does a great job.

What edges? Are you painting with a brush? What are you trying to do? We need a screenshot and more information to help you.

Hi kenyonm,

Your issue is more to do with the selection than the smoothness. What have you been using to select the area to delete?

My suggestion is to use a combination of selection tools:

Quick Selection tool
To select your object. However, if the edges blend into the background, you could run into problems like what you have. You could then remove from the selection using other tools.
Magnetic Lasso tool
Manual selection by drawing points.
Selection brush
Selects areas by drawing with a brush. You can adjust the size of the brush.
