Hi, I am new to the forums. I have done a search on my problem to see if there were any similar issues.

When I make a graphic, and apply a gradient glow, or dropshadow, etc......any curved areas get a choppy looking glow/shadow to them. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening, or any quick fixes to sharpen up those areas? In the image I have provided, you can see the white areas that appear in the curved region, between the border and any effect added.

Thank you in advance for your help.

That is 100%

strange, the shadow is soft, but the glow isnt,
is it the standard inner glow?
could you make screenshot,

also try the following: right click on the fx symbol in the layer palette and choose "scale effect", then scale it down to bout 20-30% and tell me what happens.

Think the problem is (unfortenately) not the effect, but the original drawing.

All I did was make a shape using the selection tool, then fill it is foreground color. To this point, the graphics edges are sharp.

Once that is done, the minute I use a gradient glow filter, or a bevel filter, it gets those white jaggedy pixelated edges.

Without a filter, all is fine.
