Jagged Edges/Pixelation: How to fix it Tutorial

Today I had a little problem with a image…It was Jagged Edges/Pixelation:

This occours when viewed at 100%, it’s pixelated and has jaggy edges.

Adobe Photoshop brings together dozens of photo retouching tools and digital artwork brushes to provide digital photographers and illustrators a wide range of options. Jagged edges are a common problem with low megapixel cameras since they cannot reproduce diagonal lines perfectly — instead creating jagged lines that resemble stairs. You can remove jagged edges by smoothing the entire photograph, or by smoothing the edges manually.

    Trace the jagged edges with the blur tool while holding down the left mouse button. The blur tool softens rough edges only where you click and drag the cursor.
