Ok, I've used illustrator before and I've become very comfortable with it. It gives me smooth strokes and converts my artwork to vector.
Now, I've just started using Photoshop CS6. But I have one problem — any stroke or shape I draw in Photoshop doesn't look vector, instead it looks rasterized! I can see individual pixels.
It looks like this:
How do I make this smooth like a vector image?
You can see individual pixels because you're zoomed in to 600%. Photoshop is meant for raster editing; it does not have the same zooming properties found in Illustrator. Even though you're working with vector shapes within Photoshop, it's still rasterizing them for you on your canvas.
You can still scale your vector shapes and the quality will be preserved, but zoom in far enough and you'll always see the pixels. The same goes for text in Photoshop which is inherently vector.
I advise that you create or edit your vector artwork in Illustrator. If you need to bring it into Photoshop for some sort of post processing that's fine, but Photoshop just plan and simple isn't the best tool for editing vector artwork.
