How Smooth Edges of Curve

[JacquesBDA]

Is there any way to smooth the edges where this shape is curved? The oblong is one layer and the blue is a layer below it. I'd like to get rid of the jagged edges.

With a shape that simple , I would draw round it with the pen tool, dragging the handles at each corner, then from the resulting path create a shape layer. That will be smooth and scalable

Thanks davescm ~

I've never worked with the Pen Tool, so I'll now research some tutorials and let you know if I can make the Pen Tool do the job.

Wow, that looks awesome, thanks davescm! I sure will give a call if need be — hope not!

Also pay attention to how much you zoom in on the image and the pixel dimensions as these affect how smooth the edge appears.
