| 602925 | 2007-10-19 02:48:00 | I have Paintshop Pro as well as Photoshop CS, so instrictions on how I can create rounded corners on pics with any of these two programs would be much appreciated. If yourve got the time, how do I go about making Tabs, like the ones at the top of this website - www.tvnznetguidewebchallenge.co.nz the ones listed with Home Healthy Eating Exercise Thanks in advance John in Mosgiel. |

| 602926 | 2007-10-19 03:39:00 | use a box with rounded corners on as a clipping mask in photoshop. task involves 2 layers, one for the pic and one for the clipping mask. | winmacguy (3367) | ||

| 602928 | 2007-10-19 23:26:00 | photoshop is pixel based. not sure about paintshop though, could be the same. just use a transparent layer for the background, then add a rounded rectangle to the dimensions of your choice. this is in photoshop. and there ya have it. either save as gif or png to keep the transparent backing. | Cho (12330) | ||
| 602929 | 2007-10-20 19:29:00 | In Photoshop CS in your toolbox choose Pen Tool, draw our your shape, you can add remove anchor points or also use convert point which allows you to create curves. This is if you are drawing your shape from scratch. If curving off the corners of an existing image you can just zoom in and rub them off with the rubber, if you are set to transparent or the colour of your web background then it will appear curved on the web page. Something like this site you can adapt to tabs www.pegaweb.com |

| 602931 | 2007-10-20 22:14:00 | Depending on what version of PSP you have, there's a text and graphics option in it. You can select different shapes inc the rounded shapes / boxes here. There's also a picture frame / and picture border option.. Version 11, and the latest version X2 / 12 have this option. Not sure about previous versions tho. |

| 602932 | 2007-10-21 01:29:00 | That's all so technical..I was just gonna suggest letting the kid teethe on the corners a while...it'll add some "stress" fractures to the emulsion too and make it look more authentic and antique-d. ...and drool...drool is good too. |

| 602933 | 2007-10-21 04:11:00 | John "Rounded Corners" Photoshop create rectangle on a new layer. open layers window so you can see it. Choose color of your rectangle. From the Layers window choose F/X at the bottom of the window, from that choose Stroke. Mine currently defaults to red stoke around the outside of the rectangle, but change that to the same colour as your rectangle and mess about with the sliders to get the shape corners you need. Quite a lot of options from that panel. Hope it helps. |
