Then click Ctrl + L excellent transfer order, click on the black and white triangles and drag it to the middle, then we can note that the line will become smooth and sharp, jagged also gone.

PS Some beginners have a question, "Where is the PS lighting effects." We know that "lighting effects" filters are located in the "Filter> Render> Lighting Effects", but it needs to be noted that the filter works only in 32-bit mode. Therefore, prior to use lighting effects filters, their best to look Photoshop using a 32-bit or 64-bit Photoshop.
