Good job, you can also make a rounded corner using the following steps also:-

- Select the whole image by pressing CTRL+A or Select->All from the menu.

- Round the selection by selecting Select->Modiy->Smooth from the menu, a small dialog appears.

- Enter a value, the more the value you enter, the more smooth the edge become.

- Now choose Select->Inverse from the menu, the selection get inverted.

- Make sure the layer(s) you want its edges rounded is selected, then press Delete.

Congratulation, you made your first rounded corner.

Well while we are on ever increasing methods.

Create a new channel fill it with a white rectangle, gaussian blur and use levels to round off the corners.

or

Use a rounded rectangle in the shape options ;)

Or better then:
Create new white layer with black rectangle, add Brightness/Contrast addjustment layer with Contrast set to 100.
Now go to rectangle layer and apply gaussian blur to it. This way you can preview the effect in realtime and choose the right blur raduis.
