Okay, here it is...

I've been working on a layout in photoshop and used the pen tool quite alot to make my shapes. But the problem is when I fill them they look all jagged (or something like that :/ ). I dont really know how to deal with this, but I just want them to look normal without that pixelate border :(

Here is an example of what I have:


Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

When you click fill path, at you options, do you have anti aliasing checked?

If you go to the layer your shape is on, and right click on the path and select rasterize vector mask, does it go smooth then? Cause it might be the path itself you are still seeing around your shape.

Why don't you keep it as vector instead of rasterizing it?

Keeping it vector lets you edit it nondestructively...it will allow you to work on them. It might solve your pixel problem too.

now that we know you rasterized it, Did you resize it by chance??

I suspect thats where your problem lies. If you rasterize, then the path no longer exist.
I'd go with human's suggestion. Keep the Vector Shape Layer intact and work from there. It's resolution independent, so that means u can scale up/down without quality loss.

cheers
