[Gimp-user] Help needed stroking an eliptical selection

[Tom Williams]

Hi!  I'm trying to make an elliptical border around part of an image, 
sort of like a picture frame.  I use the "Select Elliptical Regions" 
tool to select my region.  Then I choose the color I want for the 
selection and I choose a 5x5 solid circle brush to use for the stroke of 
the selection.  Then I right-click on the image and click "Edit... 
Stroke Selection" and my "frame" appears around the image. Cool.

I noticed there are some jagged edges along parts of the "frame" and I 
would like to know if there's a way they can be eliminated.

Here is a screenshot illustrating what I've got thus far:

The top and bottom of the frame look great but the sides have the jagged 
edges.  Is there any way I can eliminate the jagged edges?

Once I have the frame, my plan is to add a bevel to it to give it more 
of a "real" frame look.  :)  Here is a sample of the above image with a 
5-thickness setting Script-Fu bevel:

*I've found the higher the bevel thickness, the more pronounced the 
jagged edges are.  :(

I'm using Gimp 2.0 on Linux.

Thanks in advance!

Peace...

Tom
