ragged edges in Photoshop

This image

is not as smooth around the edges as I would like.  How do I make it smooth?

I'm not sure about Photoshop. In most graphic programs you can turn on "Antialiasing" when you draw circles. This must have been turned off when you created the logo.

Turn antialiasing on and draw the circles on the background color where the logo should be placed (since antialiasing will blend the object color with the background colors to avoid the edges)

Or do you want to remove the edges from the given logo (i.e. you can't or don't want to draw it again)?

You may have also reduced the number of colors in that gif to such an extent that you eliminated the nice soft edges.

heddesheimer, the anti-aliasing box is checked.  I don't see anyplace else I can check anti-aliasing.

Anybody out there using Photoshop 6?

weed, I'm not sure I know what you mean by "reduced the colors."  It's an iconic logo and only contains three colors.

Well THATS why you dont have smooth edges. You cant have smooth edges and only 3 colors. Those smooth edges are made up of a bunch of colors between one color and another. Its a gradient.
I got it looking smooth now.
fine, and thanks for the rating :-)
