hi there.  
I’m building a flash site and i’m trying to make that nice smooth and rounded outline (just a simple dark grey line with rounded edges) to put in the background

I cannot seem to do this! I feel very stupid, as i’m not actually bad with photoshop. I’ve made a 750x450 photoshop file and just cant get it to look nice.

Does someone have a simple method for this? How can i do it to the very maximum size that will fit on the 750 450 doc?

the perfect example is of the main flash part of the macroedia site [here](https://store2.adobe.com/cfusion/store/index.cfm?store=OLS-UK&view=ols_prod&category=/Applications/DesignPremium&distributionMethod=FULL&promoid=RWTS&nr=0)

also

I am currently designing a little logo for myself to go on a clothing label. it is 6x2cm and i’m using very small fonts.

it looks quite chizzeled at the moment. Is there a nice technique to smoothen and make the text very clear?

thanks for any help

regards
