Video: Rounded Corner Photo Tutorial

**steve.ledger** · 05 January 2009, 10:19 AM

Well as you've all encouraged me so much with the positive responses to my first Xtreme Tutorial Video, I looked for a reason to make another.
Here it is, the "Rounded Corner Photo Tutorial".

I chose this topic as there's been numerous requests for help with creating a Photograph with rounded corners over the years.
And, there's been a number of innovative solutions posted by TG members, even a video by Charles Moir himself!
Here I'll show the popular method of using a rounded rectangle shape as a clipview template.
*Take particular note of how by using the Rectangle Tool, rounded corner rectangles can be resized (including aspect ratio changes) while maintaining the circular corners (since version 3.2).

As before, there's a higher quality and larger resolution version available on my new site.

Thanks, Steve. Another great video. The most helpful thing I learned from this was how handy it is to have the Arrange control bar showing, which I now do. Thanks for that.

Keep 'em coming! If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is the value of a video? I also agree that sometimes the value is what else you pick up that gives you one of those Ah Ha moments.

Sledger, although I didn't need your tutorial, I decided to watch it anyway, and I was very pleased. It is a great tutorial!

Excellent again Steve.

Hi Steve,

Very nice video tutorial. I enjoyed watching it.

FYI...When I go to Charles Moir's post from your link. The link to Charles' video gives an unable to display page error.

Yes, I agree with the other comments. A superbly presented tutorial, Steve.
All this time I've been changing the drop-down selection menus in the Alignment Tool dialogue, only to discover clicking in the nice big box at the top. Thanks for that, Steve.
Saludos,
Bob.

A clear and enjoyable tutorial which answered a bunch of the aside questions which I had never thought of asking.
Many thanks.

Many thanks for all the comments - very glad that everyone found something which was useful to them. Sharing workflow techniques is often a great way to pick up tips. Thanks to Gary Priester re the rounded corners via double-click tip.

Bill, the link starts Windows Media player in the browser (FF,IE,Chrome) and plays the file.
