Jagged curves/slanted lines -Photoshop?

[95 Degrees]

Maybe a simple solution to this and if so, lemme have it!

How do you get around the jagged effect that are evident on angled (and curved also) lines drawn in PhotoShop?

[KelliShaver]

are you drawing them on a vector layer with the pen tool/vector shapes tool? If so, it'll be clean when you prinit, even if it does look a little jagged on screen.

No haven't experimented with vector layer yet.

I was just using the Polygonal lasso tool to draw a shape with angles. Then adding Stroke of 1 point in the Style options.

I would assume the simple answer is to enable antialiasing on the line/shape tool. I'm assuming here since I don't use PS, but PSP is like a sister program to it, and if I get jagged lines on curves, it's usually cause antialiasing is off. (change color depth to 16million or more otherwise the option may not be available)

Actually upon Kelli's response, I tried using the vector pen tool to draw the shape and had a MUCH better result than the lasso-then-stroke method. Thanks Kelli.

Also thanks for the reply aaron, yes, sometimes the antialiasing is the culprit but I always make sure mine is checked when doing this type of task, so in this case that wasn't the problem. Definitely a good habit to check this option though.
