Hi,

See 2 sample images at:

To create base image #1 I dropped in the blue background color, then 
used the 'Create and edit paths' tool to add points then create the 
selection for the greenish  shape.  I did some elementary editing to 
make the curvy section curvy.  Not perfect but ok.

The next step is/was to add a border to the greenish area.  This is 
where it all goes south.  I tried various border widths, also a little 
blur effect, but still end up with jagged edges.  The question how do 
you create a shape like this with smooth curves, not the jagged stuff?

When I used the 'elliptical region tool' to create a circle it looks 
pretty good.
