When working with the pen tool and paths is ps7...Did you notice if you make a curve and fill it with a color the bended parts are so jagged? even though the anti aliasing is on... Is this what it shoul be or theres a remedy for this?

That jaggedness you're seeing is most likely due to the fact that you're still seeing the non-printing vector path. Also, make sure you're viewing at 100%.

Command-H [CTRL-H] will hide the path. Or, go to the Paths Palette and de-highlight it by clicking the the gray area below it in the open Palette space. This also might be a good time to rename the path (double-click on the Work path text) so you don't overwrite it.

I think it should be a bit jagged. After all, vectors just create paths for pixels, and pixels can't be made more "softer" than they are normally.
I don't really know how bad it is jagged, so you could post the picture or a link to it here.

To better illustrate what Utopian's talking about:

Example

If what you're seeing is like the example to the left, then that means you still have the path layer active. Deselect the layer - click in the gray area below the layer in the Paths window; delete the layer, or hide Extras (CTRL+H
