:AntiAliasingOn: - your edges will be anti-aliased meaning it will have a smoother appearance.

:AntiAliasingOff: - this mode on the other hand will draw the lines aliased and so appear more pixelated.

This can be used with the Paintbrush, Shapes, Text and the Line / Curve tools. If you're wanting to cut out images with a less pixelated edge and remove the need to utilise either of the plugins mentioned by CommanderSozo, then try the technique of Alpha Masking as this will produce a more professional and clean cut to your image.

To be perfectly honest with you, I rarely feel the need to use either the Feather or the Anti-Alias plugins to smooth out my edges as both the initial anti-aliasing of the line and Alpha Masking have proved more than necessary for my requirements.
