March 4, 200818 yr I know this sounds like an extreemly stupid question (i prefer to think as myself as a website developer rather than a designer lol ) Just wandering what the best way was to make those rounded corners, like this one P.S i am using adobe photoshop Elements 5.0 Cheers!
March 4, 200818 yr Hey, Photoshop elements i thought was really for editing photos etc. You need a graphics program such as Fireworks or Photoshop. With these you can just create a retangular shape and feather the corners to make them rounded.
March 4, 200818 yr Yep, any decent image editor will do. Remember what background colour the roundycorner image will sit on, you may want to make the outside of the image transparent so they background colour shows through.
March 4, 200818 yr You can do it with CSS too... http://www.webreference.com/programming/css_borders/ - Eris
March 5, 200818 yr Author Cheers for all your advice Think ill have a look at some of the other graphics programs lol like GIMP n stuff Cheers!
March 5, 200818 yr Think ill have a look at some of the other graphics programs lol like GIMP n stuff N.B. You can do it easily in GIMP. There are rounded corner plug-ins but I think this method is an out of the box solution (I have installed a plug-in but I don't think I've ever used it): Select a rectangular region. Right click on it and go to the Select menu. Then click "Rounded Rectangle" and play with the different variables to tweak it. Once you click "OK", your selection area will be rounded.
March 5, 200818 yr Author I have now downloaded GIMP and started trying to use it it does definately seem better for website design than photoshop anyway. Except now im just depressed i spent £80 on photoshop elements lol oh well
