Hi

How do I create corners that are curved after having used the shape selection?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

If you use a selection.

Create a new channel in RGB and then gaussian blur it, use levels to round the corners.

You can also use the rounded rectangle tool. The radius box at the top will allow you to control how rounded you want the corners. Then if you want a selection from that ctrl + click your shape layer.

Hi, where can I find the rounded rectangular tool? There is only the rectangular, elliptical, single row/column marquee tool.

I'm using Photoshop CS btw.

Thanks

Oh I see now. I wasn't saying there is a rounded rectangle selector tool, but there is a rounded rectangle shape. Once you make the shape though, you can hold ctrl and click the shape layer and it will provide you with a nicely rounded rectangle selection. Primitive I guess, but it does the job.

You can also use the pen tool to create rounded corners with paths, then turn the path into a selection.

Here is an excellent tutorial for you if you do not know how to use the pen tool in Photoshop. This tutorial was done by a photoshop master Bert Monroy.

Have fun and practice, practice, practice with the pen tool to get good with it. That is what photoshop experts say.
