I know a way to smooth jagged lines in the GIMP.
1) Draw your line in black and white.
2) Apply gaussian blur with a largish radius (10-40).
3) Choose 'curves' from Layer>Colors>Curves and squeeze the black near
the white to constrain the curve (but keep each at their respective y
positions).
You should be left with much smoother lines, but intersecting areas will
appear slightly 'blobbed'.
I know a way to fill antialiased areas with perfect fills and paints.
1) Select an area to fill with the magic wand tool.
2) Go to Select>Grow and grow selection by 1 or 2 pixels.
3) If
3.1) Area is white:
Select blending mode 'multiply' for your paint tool
3.2) Area is colored:
Select blending mode (edit) 'Overlay' for your paint tool and choose
white for your color. Paint until the area is white again.

Of you could simply use the selection in a lower layer and flood-fill
the selection there.

Wanna hear something really random? I just checked out Adobe's online store.
So... wait... it's *cheaper* to buy Elements and upgrade to CS than to
just purchase CS??
Also, it turns out there's a CS3 Extended. (Has some extra 3D stuff.
Apparently.)
[The other random thing is that if you look on Apple's online store,
everything is more expensive than from any other source. Which makes no
sense at all. On the other hand, prices on the Adobe online store seem
to be quite a bit lower than anywhere else, so...]

Maybe you should try cheaper software first, to get experience and to
see that you indeed are interested in that kind of hobby, before spending
such vast amounts of money on software you will not use.
It's not like CS3 will somehow magically make drawing easier. It still
requires experience and hard work.

Try Google shopping, plently of places have it cheaper (dabs, scan, misco,
...).

might not even be any use to me...
I was merely curios about the pricing, that's all. Somebody noted that
"once you have Elements you get upgrade pricing", and I wanted to see
just how much more expensive it is this way. (And I was surprised to see
As I mentioned elsewhere, I've seen a small Wacom tablet on sale that
comes bundled with a copy of Elements. I'm rather tempted with the idea
of that... It's not even that expensive. And right now, the mouse rather
than the software seems to be the limiting factor. (But with this deal
I'd get both!)
And, let's not forget it's my birthday soon and nobody knows what the
hell to buy for me. ;-)

I asked Froogle, and it couldn't find anything cheaper.
[rant] I did ask it to *exclude* anything containing the words "student"
or "upgrade", but the first 3 hits still contained these words. [/rant]
