    Cut? Can you not just use the eclipse tool to make a smooth one?

    A standard selection will just select pixels.
    A vector mask will anti-alias the shape.

    Yeah you can refine a selection to control the level of aliasing.
    So it's probably better to just the elliptical marquee tool to cut out the shape.
