HELP!? Problem with "sawtooth" edges after turning "paths" to a selection.

Photoshop CS3 - - This is weird... and just started happening to me:

I have an image sized at 20" X 32", resolution is 240 dpi, bicubic, all check boxes selected on image size dialogue box...rgb color.

If I draw a "path" and then select it and fill it with a color using the fill bucket, I have extreme sawtooth/pixeled edges - - not smooth at all.

And I used to get smooth edges when I had my image set to 150 dpi... or even 100 dpi at this overall size.

What is happening? I must have changed some setting. The only way I have discovered to remedy this is AFTER the fact of filling my selection; by going to the top of the page and adjusting the 'edge effects.'

But, now I cannot even find that function.

Can you tell me what I might be doing different...and how to fix it so that I have apparent smooth edges?

Thanks.

You must use the Sexy Lips filter.

Are you looking for realistic or cartoon lips?

If you have feathering set to 0, then it won't matter whether anti-aliasing is off or on.

Do you have this problem viewing using 'actual pixels'/100%?

ummmm... how do I design 'sexy lips' that don't have "sawtooth/jagged" edges?

When selecting the 'sexy lips' path...Feather radius set to "0." Anti-alias on.

Dissolve mode in bucket options?

Take the path into Illustrator and "Smooth" it.

Saying smooth is sexy seems presumptive, Phos. ;)

What Gillfish wants, Gillfish gets. XD

But it's a bit difficult to provide the best workflow advice without being able to deedle with the file s/he's workjing with.
