 Posted: Sun Jan 29, 2006 6:31 pm Post subject: Wanting to Smooth the top edges ONLY??? |
 |
|
Well lets say I have a regular 1024x768 image and I want to grab a piece of it say 780x125 for my Website logo. Well I use the rectangular marquee to get that exact piece, go to Modify -> Smooth edges to 10 pixels so now all four edges are pretty smooth. Problem is I only want the two top edges smoothed out, I want the bottom ones plain with pointy edges, what will I have to do to achieve that??? Appreciate any help, thanks... |

After you've smoothed the selection, go back to nomral mode (instead of fixed size mode) and, while holding shift, re-drag a hard corner on your selection. BY holding shift, you add to the current selection instead of making a whole new one.

is that the conventional method of doing it because for some odd reason there is no way I can get the corners exactly perfect, either the bottom or the side is slighty crooked.... |

yes, that is the look that you get from smoothing a selection, no way around it. From the sounds of things, you're loooking for a perfectly round corner. For this you wuld use the rounded rectangle tool, I think it's about halfway down the toolbox in the right column. May be on a fly-out. This tool will create a path for you. You can make a selection from the path with a button on the path palette. Can't give a screenshot right now because I'm at a different computer.
