rounded edges

[novicew]

This could be a very simple question but I can't make the edges round using Photoshop CS2. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

The edges of what.

Can you describe more precisely what you are wanting to do?

create a square/recatangle selection with the marquee tool, then holding the shift button (a small + symbol will appear next the the cursor) change the marquee tool to a circular selection, draw a circle....this will add a circle to your current square selection.

you may find it easier to use the guides to ensure all the corners are the same

if you want i can make a quick movie to show you if ya want?

Thank you very much for the tip. Well, I forgot to tell you my intension. Accept my apologies for that. Basically what I want is curved edges for my photos instead of boring square edges.

If you can make a quick movie, well there is nothing better I can imagine.

That does not sound like a very efficient way to do this. Under the line tool there is a rounded-corner rectangle tool. Use this to generate a shape or path with which you can then either mask your image to the shape or generate a selection from the path and cut out your image. This tool has a setting on the top to allow you to change your corner radius.

Google!

But yes there is a tool for it under the shapes icon

you could also create a new layer and make a rectangular selction using the marquee tool. then simply select>modify>smooth. at this point you will be prompted for your desired pixel radius...
