Re: FLASH: Stupid Photoshop Question

[GDavies]

I have an easier way on photoshop...


create your rectangle, save it as a channel. Go to the channel and apply

gaussian blur (add as much blur as you want depending on how round you want

the corners).  Now go to levels and drag the left slider to the middle and

the right slider to the middle.. now select your channel go back to layers

and fill it with our desired color.


Cheers

Grant.

If it's for Flash, it's easy to do by selecting the rectangle tool and

clicking the round-rectangle-radius button at the bottom.  In

Illustrator, it's also easy--just choose the round rectangle option of

the rectangle toolbar.  In Photoshop, AFAIK, you'll have to do it

yourself by adding a layer above the rectangle, adding a circle, erasing

all of the circle but the "corner", then erasing the rectangle corner

under it, then copying to the other corners.  Yuk, painful--that's how I

do it, but would love to know if there's an easier way!
