I'm working on a new web header for my site. I think it's going pretty well, but I'm having some problems with the edges being really pixelated.

Here's a closeup of the area I'm talking about:

As you can see the area the arrow is pointing to is really pixelated.


This is what it looks like at 100 percent:

Is there any way to avoid this? If you have a suggestion, PLEASE post.

Thanks in advance.

Also make sure anti-aliasing is on.

It's pixelated because you're using Stroke on it. Take off Stroke in blending options and do a drop shadow right underneath it, and mess with the other settings to get it to look right. It won't be pixelated. :(

actually what you should do is duplcate the shape (hopefully you did it wit the pen tool), then expand it a bit, and it and it'll appear like a stroke, but it'll be smooth
