How to smooth out jagged edges

If you have a shape with jagged edges and you want to make them smooth follow this how to.


Make sure your image is selected, then contract the selection by 2 pixels

Then you click on Channels tab, then Create New Channel


Now you'll see the image entirely black with the selection active, click edit, fill and then white 


Deselect then click Filter>>Blur>>n Blur


Then you go to image, adjustment then choose levelsBring the end point sliders in towards the center till you are happy you have a smooth edge, click ok
Down on channels tab, click load channel as selection 

Click on your Layers Tab, add new layer

Keep selection active and flood fill with black

Deselect and move layer under your original image, clip the original image to your new smooth layer 

Merge Visible and there you have it a smooth shape
