When cropping or editing images I get "jaggies" on the edited pics. Is this a problem with in camera settings or my software - Adobe Photoshop.

Do I need to change the in camera settings to solve the problem

Think you'll have to post examples, or at least tell us to what size you're making them, whether you're sharpening them etc.

Dan is right, difficult to judge without seeing. What I can say with confidence, though, is that it is not a problem of Photoshop (could be, however, a problem of operating Photoshop appropriately).

Could even be as simple as the zoom setting you are viewing in Photoshop
(There's absolutely nothing wrong with Photoshop or Elements... just how you use or misuse it!)

If you view at 33% (or some other non-easily divisible number) you'll get an add appearance. View at 100% for the absolute truth of the image. View at 50%, 25%, or 12.5% to see an excellent approximation of the image.

But, yet, an example would be good
