here is a sample comparing 2 400 pixel circles created with Chris's instructions
www.dottedi.biz/codesamples/images/400x400_circle.gif www.dottedi.biz/codesamples/images/400x400_circle.png 1. make elliptical selection (select elliptical region) 1.1. hold the shift key down as you drag and this will force a perfect circle 2. fill with black 3. selection->shrink->enter width of desired stroke in pixels 4. clear the .gif version is expectedly jagged, the .png is acceptably smooth.
