Smooth edges?

[Michael_...@adobeforums.com]

I have an image on which I want to round the corners, but when I do they are jagged. I would like to know how to make the rounded corners smooth.

Any suggestions?

What type of image? I guess we are talking anti aliasing here. Usually on corners if you created a block let's say and wanted rounded corners, one could take the black and white version into a channel and gaussian blur the image and then use levels to create rounded corners but I have a feeling this isn't what you are referring to.

Can you elaborate?

Or create a mask...

Using Gaussian blur and Levels to make rounded corners tends to leave half selected pixels on the outline, better use the Rounded Rectangle tool and then Command+click on the vector mask to load the selection
