How to round picture corners in PSE 9.0 without background showing

Hi,
I'm new to PSE 9.0, I'm trying to round the corners of some picture to put on my web site.
I've followed the directions I can find online but none of them work, or there for earlier versions that don't have the same functions that they show.
I can get an outline of the picture with the rounded corners showing but it never removes the sharp corners from outside the rounded rectangle.
When I save the picture as a copy in .PNG , then call it back up there are still sharp corners shown as a background>
I can't believe Adobe could make this simple thing so darned confusing!
Adobe makes good software but there ease of use is horrible.
Can someone please give me step by step how to do this?
Been at it for 4 hours.
Thanks Mitch (mad1015)

You can use the Rounded Rectangle tool.
1. Select the rounded rectangle tool and draw a rectangle, then move the rectangle layer
below your picture.
2. Make the picture layer active and go to Layer>Create Clipping Mask.
3. Make the shape layer active and select the move tool to adjust the size of the rectangle.
4. Go to File>Save for Web and select png 24 and check Transparency.
Added
In step 1 set the radius of the rouned corners in the tool options bar.

How to round picture corners

Hi,
I love Adobe Photoshop Elements. I have gotten Version 10 lately and I have to say, Adobe does not make certain tasks easy.
All I need is to have my pictures either cropped with rounded corners, or to have the pictures with rounded corners without the background showing. Is this at all possible?
I found an explanation regarding this for PSE 9.0 but when I try it (Layer > Create Clipping Mask), this is grayed out and I cannot use it.
Please help!
Thanks,
Jac

Use the Rounded Rectangle tool. You can first specify the radius for the corners.
Double-click on your Background layer to change it to a normal layer.
Use the Rounded Rectangle tool to create a shape layer.
In the Layers panel, move that shape layer beneath the image layer.
With the image layer selected, use Layer...Create Clipping Mask (Ctrl+G).
The layers look like this:
The final result (using Save For Web as a PNG-24 file):

How do I move photos to a new folder without it showing in the original folder

I am trying to rearrange my iPhoto 11 folders. Every time I move a photo to a new album it stays in the original folder. If I delete the photo it is gone from both the folder and the album I created. Is there a way to do this. I am trying to separate pictures taken on my iPhone.

First off since we can only communicate via words using the correct words is critical
Folders in iPhoto do not hold photos - folders hold albums or other folders
Albums hold photos
Events hold photos
Alnums and folders are used to organize photos
Alnums are really just pointers to photos in events so any change mad eto a photo in an event, in photo view or in any album it is in is reflected everywhere
If you want to move phots between albums simply drag them
If you want to move photos between events flag them in teh source event and teh select the destination event and add flagged photos to selected event

How can i export (render) or view a composition without background

I have a 3D moving object composition with a black background.
I need to export only the object with no background. Like the gray\white checkers background, that allows you to export only the object.
So after that i can plant it in an editing software (without using chroma-key)
In other words - How do i get the gray\white squares neutral background?
Thank you.
Lola

You have an preset in your render cue for Lossless With Alpha. That's all there is to it. If you open the video in a media player it will show a black background, but if you import it into a NLE it will have transparency. These are basic AE skills. Please read the help files or search transparent background in the Search Help field at the top right corner of AE to learn more.

How do I render a JCheckBox to an image without ever showing it on screen?

I'm interested in Painting a JCheckBox to a BufferedImage without ever displaying the JCheckBox on-screen.
Here is what I've got so far
//new checkbox
JCheckBox box = new JCheckBox();
//I just want the box, no padding/borders/etc...
box.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder());
// I wish I could call box.getPreferredSize() here, but it returns [0,0]. However, I know that [13,13] is right for my environment
Dimension cbDims = new Dimension(13,13);
GraphicsConfiguration gc = GraphicsEnvironment
                .getLocalGraphicsEnvironment()
                .getDefaultScreenDevice()
                .getDefaultConfiguration();
//create a BufferedImage appropriate for the user's display
BufferedImage bi = gc.createCompatibleImage(cbDims.width, cbDims.height, Transparency.TRANSLUCENT);
box.paint(bi.createGraphics()); //draw... Result is blankHowever, I get the image I'm looking for if I add
JDialog d = new JDialog();
JPanel p = new JPanel();
d.setContentPane(p);
p.add(box);
d.setVisible(true); after I create the JCheckBox.

Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
I use the [Screen Image|http://www.camick.com/java/blog.html?name=screen-image] for this. It explains how to get an image of non visible component(s). The trick is to set the size of the component first.
I wish I could call box.getPreferredSize() here, but it returns [0,0].I find that hard to believe. It works fine for me when I use:
component.setSize( component.getPreferredSize() );If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.

How do I round some corners of a shape and leave other corners unrounded ?

Hello All;
Could someone tell me how to round some corners of a illustration and leave some corners unrounded ? If I use Effect - Stylize - Round Corners, it works beautifully but it rounds all corners, even the ones I don't want rounded. See attached illustration. I do not want the four corners emclosed in the circle rounded.
Anyone know how to do this (easily, I hope) ?
Thanks.
Tim

Tim,
That's a good one. What you can do is:
Make two rounded rectangles with the dimensions you require, and stack them on top of each other.
Go to the align palette and click the icon that centers the objects vertically.
From your attached illustration, it seems you want to avoid rounding the line segment in the middle top and bottom of each rectangle, so try this:
With the pen P tool, put the point of the pen on the first of (4)four anchor points you are going to add and click.
Now do the same thing for the other three anchor points.
You have now added two anchor points to each rounded rectangle
With the Direct Selection A tool, Shift/click on both of the furthest right anchor points you just created, and hold shift while clicking the corner radiuses that connect with those points on the right side of the illustration. You should have a total of six points highlighted altogether.
Now with your keyboard cursor controls, click the arrow down key as many times as you need to get the angle of the line segment that you were trying not to round.
If there is another way to do it, I'd like to know, but that should work. The corner rediuses you've moved change somewhat, you can adjust them if need be.
Using the grid and snap to point in the View section of the menu bar will help you align the added anchor points nicely.
Sounds like a lot, but I recreated your drawing the way you wanted in about 30 seconds.
Hope this helps.

I need to know how to copy pictures to a cd with the captions showing, elements 8 and windows 7

I need to know how to copy
pictures to a cd with the captions showing, elements 8, windows 7

Here are some suggestions. Perhaps others will have even better ideas.
1 -- for viewing on a Windows computer, you can experiment with making a PSE Organizer slide show creation in which you specify to show the captions. Then save the Output of the slide show as a WMV file that the recipient could play on a computer with Windows Media Player.
If you have a DVD burner on your PC, you can also use that WMV file as input to the Windows 7 DVD Maker program for making a TV playable DVD. And if your recipient(s) who will view on a computer have DVD readers, you could make video DVDs playable on computers or TV DVD players instead of using CDs.
The limitations of this approach are that this wmv file you create is really a video file so
-- it advances photo slides at the rate specified when you create the slide show
-- the choices to save a wmv file are not very high resolution so that recipients who have high resolution monitors will not see the photo images are not getting the benefit of seeing the photos at their best
-- your recipients can't print from this video slide show
2 An entirely different approach is to
-- For each individual photo, make a copy of the photo file and depending on how high resolution your originals you might want to resize down to monitor viewing sizes.
-- Then use the PSE Editor Text Tool to place the caption on a layer above the photo. (I think that you could display the existing caption and then do a copy and paste so that you don't need to retype everything.)
-- You should save this photo copy with the text as a uniquely named JPEG file. Use the file names to control the sequence in which you want the viewer to see the photos. (Don't save as a PSD because others probably can't read the PSD format).
-- Then use your computers CD burning software to burn a folder containing all those jpeg files with the captions to CD
This approach is a bit of work for each photo and you did not say how many photo files you will be doing. However,
-- computer users should be able to display the jpegs as high resolution photos on their computer as well as optionally print from those photo files
-- many TV DVD players can play (display) jpg files from a CD disc which also gives recipients the opportunity to view the photos on their larger TV screen
Process 2 may seem complicated but once you get started I think it will be more of a production line.
ADDITION
Do you have any portrait orientation photos included with those you wish to send ? If yes, we might need to discuss some additional processing for them.

Rounded specific corners as opposed to all 4

Photoshop newb here -- Is there a quick and dirty way of rounding specific corners verses all 4. I want to round the top of a photo and leave the bottom square. I suppose I could round all 4 and then lay the bottom half the picture back over top, but I was wondering if there was a better way of doing this.
Any tips would be appreciated.

there isn't a command that does what you want, you'll have to do it manually. With the selection active, select Add to Selection in the Options bar(the second icon) and then make a marquee selection so that it overlaps one of the corners perfectly. Press and hold the spacebar to move the marquee selection on the fly and use the smart guides to help you align the two selections by going to View->Show->Smart Guides (or drag in a couple of guides)
