Help with borders (noob)

hi, i started using photoshop abou 2 days ago, i read some basic tutorials, but they,
well i created a shape using selecting tools and give it a border, then a shadow, and then teh border became horrible, with a real bad quality, can anyone explain me why this happened and how to fix it? :confused:


thk you

Did you save it as a .GIF file? This could be a reason for your quality loss. Also, if you saved it as a .JPG with a low quality setting, it'll look bad. There is no way to fix this if you don't have your normal PSD file. You'll have to make it again.

That all is assuming, you saved it as a different extension.

I saved in JPG with high quality, it was great, but in photoshop the edges are a trash, maybe its my pc or something, i will check it out, when i save and open it again teh edges are ok, while i am drawing the edges are horrible... the problem is solved

thx a lot

You may just be at a bad zoom setting.

Photoshop does not do a full image redraw unless you are at 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5% view size. Try zooming in to 100% and see what it looks like.
