Can anyone make the right edge of the red curve nice and smooth in this image:

I realize I probably should have started with a much larger image, and then scaled down, but I didn't. The inside edge of the curve is a little too jaggy.

It's not in the best of taste to ask anyone (someone you don't know) to photoshop your image. Basically, that is not what the forum is for. Conversion between file formats is one thing, editing files is another.

Just so its clear I'm not entirely critical:

curve.png

Use vector images (as opposed to bitmap) for design. Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia FreeHand, and (not as good, but reasonably priced) CorelDraw can all accomplish this task. Scaling becomes a non-issue. Also, I don't see a reason to include all that whitespace - it probably will just get in the way of positioning.

Thanks. The image does need to remain the same size -- that white space is actually transparent space (an image goes there). Would you be able to incorporate your curve into a transparent image of the same size as my original? Also, can all browswers display a .png file?

... or maybe it doesn't need to be that big, but just transparent. The image will lie underneath.

If you want to add whitespace, go ahead. Last modification, transparent gif with matched hieght (349 pixels). Turn down your dithering when exporting GIF's. Next time try to ask how to do something vs. for someone to do something.

"...Also, can all browswers display a .png file?..."

Since v4 of the main browsers (Infernal Exploder and Nutscrape) PNGs have been supported but as far as I'm aware IE is still the only browser that doesn't support transparency in PNGs (Mozilla, Opera and the rest do)....someone correct me if I'm wrong.
