Anyone have an idea? I have a picture I wish to round the corners off on.


Cant for the life of me find out how to do it though :/


(Using Photoshop CS4)


Many thanks
 
There's a few ways.

You could do it with the shape tool and a vector mask or you could do it with the marquee tool.

Vector mask way:

Using the 'rounded rectangle tool' create a rounded rectangle the desired shape around the image.

As long as it's not on a background layer you can then go to Layers>Vector Mask>Current Path. And it will give you a layer mask which can be edited if it's not quite what you were after.

Marquee technique:

Use the square maquee tool to select the area you want then use Select>Modify>Smooth or Refine Edge to get the rounded corners you want.

Then select>inverse and delete the surrounding area or fill it with a border colour.

If you want a blended rounded corner try,

Use the square maquee tool to select the area. Select>Feather the copy and paste that layer onto a plain colour layer.
 
Select all
Q for quickmask
Filter->blur->gaussian blur (Radius defines radius of final curve)
Image->Adjust->Levels (Set lower threshold to 126, mid to 127, upper to 128)
Q to exit quickmask

You now have a rounded selection.
