Rounded Corners

[monia13]

What's the best way to make paper mats with rounded corners and pictures with rounded corners? Are there any templates that can be useful?

I know PS has a rounded corner tool where you can do your own mats that can be adjusted to whatever radius you want on the corners. Not sure if PSE has it (I don't have PSE).

On PSE, choose shape tool, choose the rounded corner rectangle in your toolbar, adjust the radius, draw your box, and you've created a clipping mask. You can just redraw if it measurements aren't right.

oh... I love those stitches and masks together! Thanks Darcy!

Thank you Darcy! The templates will be so useful and they will save me time. I tried to play with the PSE rectangle tool with rounded corners but it wasn't coming out exactly how I wanted.

I wrote a tutorial about creating them in PSE on KristenCB's blog:

I have an action that I use in PSE - the easiest thing in the world IMO

I never tried recording actions..... how do you do it in PSE 11? Rounded corners would be an awesome action to have.

I have no idea how to make an action myself, I just download freebies or buy certain ones and load them into PSE. I'll link you up to the one I have but the website is down today for a domain transfer so I'll try to remember to do it tomorrow
