One way to vectorize shapes is to trace them with the pen tool. You should be able to export the shape to illustrator or another vector program.

You can also make a selection then go to the path dialogue box and use "make work path" although this is somewhat clumsy.

After you have a path, you can use the path to make a selection then fill it with color which will be anti-aliased.

I'm trying to get rid of jagged lines on a black ellipse on a white background (PSP4, 16 million colors).
The following questions aren't all related but I didn't wan't to go thread-crazy.

Is it possible to anti-alias shapes, after they are already drawn ?

Is there any way to make PSP4 write vector info ?

I couldn't use seamless pattern. Is there any other reason for this besides the image being too close to the window borders ?

This one is the most unrelated: I edited the image on the pixel level and saved...When I opened it again, alot of the pixels were slightly off color, like the editing had worn off. Any ideas ?

well, that was a mouth-full
