				Hi again!
 
 
I'm sorry to bother you again, but once again I need some help from the experts!
 
 
I'm trying to make a card following this tutorial, using clipping masks. 
 
http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1663696&seqNum=6
 
It really isn't very complicated, but I'm only beggining to learn about clipping masks. 
 
 
The thing is, when I do step 2, when smoothin the corners, they come out all jagged and ugly.
 
I don't know how to prevent this. 
 
I have tried the feathering system too, with the same results. 
 
 
Can anyone explain to me how to get a smooth rounded border, please?
 
Thanks so much!

				What resolution are you using? (Pixels per inch) Try something in the 300-400 range.
 
Curved edges will never be totally smooth as screen pixels are square, but using a higher resolution makes the squares much smaller so the effect is less obvious.
