Cropping images to curved corners

I tried changing the dimensions in the settings bar at the top of the page ("W" and "H") but it doesn seem to be retained. I have changed the "0.5pt" to "None". Care to elaborate upon the significance of making these changes?

Andy,

There's been quite a bit about this in the Forum lately. To get a clean looking image for a background on part of your web page you require the source rectangle to be in whole pixels (w & h) as well as in whole pixels (x & y). If this isn't the case, when you export the shape the edges will antialias the edges which isn't usually what's required.

After having made the rounded image successfully yesterday I can't seem to get it to work today with a different image. I seem to be getting the image tiled within the rounded corner rectangle.... darn it all... does anyone have a video tutorial for this sort of thing somewhere that I can bookmark?

Sorry Andy, I've lost track of which method you are now using. However, if you are getting a repeating tile, then I assume you are using the image as bitmap fill.

If this is the case, select your graphic, then select the Fill Tool and look at the context toolbar and change the "Fill Tiling" dropdown (second from left) to Single Tile.

Look at Menu "Help" -> "Movies" and choose in the section "Working with photos" the video "Photo crop".

You can fill an image into an object of a set of grouped objects. For the grouped set, if they are ungrouped, the individual pieces can be moved about. Use the fill tool to adjust the placement. Rich
