Round Corners!

Subject: Round Corners! April 17th 2009, 10:02 am

Now that I'm unbanned, thanks to DB. I can start posting again and I need a little help with something.
I wanted to know how you make an avatar or siggy with round edges, for example the CPP badge on the front page. What program do I use to do this? Would Photoshop CS2 work? =\

Thanx.

You know the ellipse tool in Photoshop? Right-click it, now choose the rounded rectangle shape and tweak the radius to your liking. From the same place you chose the radius from, click the little box with the pen in it. Use the rectangle shape on the image you want then right-click and choose "Make Selection", then copy that part and paste it in a new canvas with a transparent background. If that's too complicated, then just look at this picture:

Thanx DB!! 8D
I'll try it now. One more question how do you make a transparent background on photoshop CS2?

Just delete that white background layer and you have yourself a transparent one. =DD
You're welcome, hope it works out.

If you want to make the background of your image transparent, in my opinion GIMP is easier to use, if you have it installed.

Yup, I have Gimp. I'm trying to make an avatar with round corners and I think I got the idea of how to do it. 8D

The checkered boxes is the transparent background but for some reason it still shows the white background when I save the image.
