Illustrator CC rounded corners on placed photos

Illustrator cc rounded corners how to make?  Placed photographs need rounded corners.  Cannot make it work.

Make a rounded corner rectangle the size that you want and use it to make a clipping mask. It is the same method used if you look up "how do I crop a photo in illustrator.

  • How to stop Illustrator from rounding corners of my shapes using brush tool

    Trying to draw a skull eye but everytime I finish the shape, Illustrator rounds the corners into s semi-circle.  Arrggh!!  I am sure there is a setting I have been unable to find that could rectify this.  Can someone please direct me to where this is?  Im using CS6.  Thanks in advance.

    The typical brush tool with default settings and there was also a brush called lineart.  This is partly tied to my last question I posted where sketeches werent coming out the way I wanted.  The shapes are being "auto-rounded" as soon as I finish the shape.

  • Illustrator not able to round corners properly (w/ image sample)

    When designing a logo, I want to be able to round corners properly, i.e. mathematically. When I specify a radius of 20 mm, I expect a radius of 20 mm, not various random radiuses. Illustrator simply isn't capable of doing this properly. I find this very strange, as this is the leading vector editing tool for designing logos (among others).
    As a result of this, I've developed my own "manual" method of doing this, but it takes some time, and it's not elegant.
    This image should be a little explanatory:
    http://img5.pictiger.com/948/17886618.gif?u=1237767818
    (Note: When rounding corners, Illustrator doesn't even produce circular arcs -- they're a little deformed.)
    Surely this can't be the way it's supposed to work? Anybody from Adobe care to answer?

    Sorry for the bad link. Here's the image again, with alternates (in case the others go down):

    b Please note:
    * The blue dotted circles in the Illustrator-example on the left represents
    i the "imaginary circles"
    that Illustrator uses when rounding corners.
    * The "manual method" on the right, shows what you'd actually expect Illustrator's Round Corners to do.
    @Harron K. Appleman:
    -I'm on CS4 and use both Vista and OSX (but that doesn't really matter, as this also applies to earlier versions of Illustrator).
    -I'm using the
    i Effects > Stylize > Round Corners.
    In the example I've used a simplified shape, to make it more clear what I mean.

  • Problem with Rounded Corners on EPS object in Illustrator CS3

    I'm using Illustrator CS3 and I have an EPS object which has rounded corners. When I export  the object and save it as a JPG the exported image takes on the shape of  the artboard (which is a square) rather than the shape of the EPS  object which is a square with rounded corners. I've placed the exported  JPG into my blog but when I look at it I can see a little bit of white  in each of the four corners. What can I do to stop this from happening?  In other words, I want my exported JPG image to have rounded corners  without the white. Please provide me  with as much detail as you can as I'm fairly new to Illustrator and I'm still finding my way. Thank you.

    Hi Graccon,
    The JPG format does not support transaprency. Either save as a gif or as a png. Or choose a matte color which matches your page background for the jpg.

  • Adding a frame border to rounded corners photo

    New to PS..running current ver of 11.x... I found the rounded corners tutorial and that helps alot...but I have a number of photos on a website that I would like to also add a "border" to.
    sample image corner here:  http://members.cox.net/trinaz/roundercorner.gif
    This is a clip up the upper right corner.  The tutorial will let me round my photo corners as needed...but is there another function that will give the rounded photos a thin "chrome-like" border like in the gif link ?
    Thanks, Tim

    Just add a stroke using Layer Styles. Select the layer containing the frame border, go to the fx icon at the bottom of the Layers panel and choose Stroke. After that, select Bevel & Emboss from the same dialog and select Stroke Emboss from the Style dropdown

  • How to easily create round (shadowed) corners on a photo?

    I would like to be able to create easily round corners on any pics of my gallery. Is there a quick way (plugin) to do it?
    Thanks

    It's another software package from Apple containing Pages, a word processor/desktop publishing type of application, and Keynote, Apple's version of PowerPoint. About the same price of Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac, which, IMO, would be the application to get if I were going to pay that much. PSE can do so much in the way of advanced editing.
    Are you saying the vignette tool in iPhoto doesn't work or it's not what you want?
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Making a photo with rounded corners

    I just followed both of these instructions to create rounded
    corners on a rectangular image:
    http://www.enghiong.com/how-to-make-rounded-corner-edges-using-fireworks.html/
    http://www.joycejevans.com/tutorials/Fireworks/FWMX/roundecorners/rc_crn.htm
    What am I missing? Both of them show the transparent canvas?
    I drew the rectangle, rounded the corners, pasted inside and all
    the other steps and saved it. When I use in my html file, the
    background shows!
    Any help with this is so appreciated.

    Here you go. It's usually a good idea to use a white rather
    than black
    object to paste inside of.

  • Is it possible to have a PDF with rounded corners?

    Hi
    I've been asked to create a pdf (which is just for on screen, not print), which when viewed has rounded corners.  Is this possible?  The original design is in illustrator.
    Thanks
    S

    Realistically, no. PDF pages are always rectangular, and while there are techniques to place some interactive content partly-outside the page region it's not a practicable way to simulate rounded corners.

  • Rounded Corners in Grid View

    Seriously someone please tell me how to get rid of these rounded corners in grid view. I can handle a subtle curve on the corners but these are 32x32 pixel curves on every corners. Any bigger and I'll be browsing album artwork circles in grid view. The white background is annoying enough but this is about to make me ditch the program.

    What I propose is the bottom of each thumbnail. Because the size of the thumbnail is variable mixed, possibly, with a 3 or 4 line word wrap this space would be more then enough for many users. Alternately, a new grid view with one photo on the left side coupled with extensive metadata on the right would enable quick views of keywords/metadata. Other programs such as acdsee pro have implemented similar functionality which I have found extremely valuable. The ability, at quick glance, to see how photos have been tag will greatly increase the efficiency of tagging. I agree that many users may find the function limiting, but they dont have to use it.

  • How do I create rounded corners on an image in CS6?

    Hello There!
    In the previsous version of Photoshop, I use to do the following so that my pictures had rounded corners:
    Open a picture
    Click the layer mask button twice
    Then use the rectangle tool to get my rounded corners on the preloaded image - Presto, all done!
    This does not work in CS6.  Does anyone have a better method?  I just want to have rounded corners (radius 5) to my photos.
    Thank you so much for your help!
    -K

    You can still use a Rounded Rectangle for a vector layer mask.
    Draw your path first, then choose Layer - Vector Mask - Current Path

  • Rounded corners, top left and top right

    Hi
    Hope you can help me, as I'm relatively new to PSE 9 , I'm trying to create nice rounded corners on the top right and top left of a new image in PSE 9
    Please could you put me in the right direction to get me started.
    Many thanks for your assistance.
    Mike

    You might try something like this:
    1. Either duplicate the background layer or double click on the background
       so it's not locked.
    2. Make your rulers visible (View>Rulers) and pull out four guides, one
       for each side of the image. (so the shape tools snap to the edges of your photo)
    3. Select the Rounded Rectangle Tool (nested with the shape tools)
    4. Set the radius of the corners and draw your shape on the photo.
    5. Select the Rectangle Tool and set the option to Add to Shape Area
       and draw the rectangle on the bottom half of the photo.
    6. Select the Shape Selection Tool and press the Combine button.
    7. Move the shape layer below the photo layer in the layers panel, make the photo
        layer the active layer and go to Layer>Create Clipping Mask.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS3 Rounded Corner Option MIA?

    Everywhere I look, I read that there should be a "Round Corners" option under both the "Effect>Stylize" and "Filter>Stylize" dropdown menus. In both cases, the only "Stylize" option I'm given is "Glowing Edges".
    I'm attempting to do this with a 3-pointed star (otherwise known as a triangle, but I created it using the star tool). I'm definitely selecting it, etc.
    Can anyone shed some light? Thanks!!!

    Adobe Illustrator SUCKS when it comes to corner rounding...
    You need the vector plugin by CValley called Xtream Path...
    Here's the link...watch the video called "smart rounding" which is one of the components of this plugin which will do what you're looking for:
    http://www.cvalley.com/products/xtreampath/movies.html
    I would not be without it...it's saved me hours of work rounding off corners without distorting the adjoining line segments.

  • Cropping round corners on my icon

    This is related to helping me with a previous post. If I can complete this step I'm home and hosed.
    I have made an icon for a webpage and I just watched a tutorial on saving for the web. I made this icon with the rounded corner rectangle tool. I have some masked objects in this icon so  there are invisible parts hanging out from the visible artwork, so It seems I can't slice because so far from what I have learned slicing doesn't do round corners and also, I can't use the normal crop tool. If I do, I'm going to have white square corner residue in my file.
    I just read a Fireworks forum thread which shows how to crop round corners that talks about masking and then, to crop the visible part only use, Modify > Canvas > Trim Canvas, but I haven't got that option in Illustrator it seems.
    Does anyone know how to do this in Illustrator?

    It's ok. I solved my problem by simply exporting to Photoshop and the artboard turned transparent.
    Thanks

  • Cropping with rounded corners

    I am preparing portrait images to be put on a page. I would like to use the cropping tool to a specific size and end up with rounded corners on the image.
    How can this be done?
    Thanks,
    Mary Lou

    John, is there s ome way I can send you a copy of that image to look at?
    The original picture was taken where there was a red backdrop. I selected the person and removed her from the backdrop, placing the image on a plain blue background.
    I have flattened the image so I don't know any way that the old red background would be there anymore. As soon as I apply the rounded corner rectangle tool there is a redness to the marquee.

  • Table with rounded corners in CS5?

    I am dealing with an issue, I need a table with 2 rounded top-corners. The top row is a shade of black (and needs the 2 rounded corners.
    Here is what I do:
    I make my table with a regular straight angled top-row in it's own text-frame. Then adjust the frame to the table (cmd-alt-c). Select the arrow selection tool, cut the text-frame with the table. Then create a new text-frame with 2 rounded top corners. Then past the table into this new frame.
    What now happens is that the table does not snap to the 0 point of the new frame, but it insets on the left side. When I make it align right it does it the other way around. Plus the part of the top-frame with the shade of black does not cut of on the rounded part of the frame.
    I know another option is to create a text-frame with the rounded corners on exactly the size I need it in the table, and then paste this into the top frame of the table (making sure the inset is 0). But I would like to use this as a last resort.
    We have a preference for the first option I wrote about, since we are linking Excel files and then creating InCopy content. (If a table is not placed in a seperate text frame and then linked to the floating text, InDesign loses the link to the Excel.)
    Is this at all possible? From this site it seems it is ( http://www.justskins.com/forums/table-with-rounded-corners-117551.html )

    I first tried it in a text frame. Now when I do a 'paste into' in an image frame it seems to work, but now I have an extra frame in my workflow
    Table => text frame => image frame with rounded corners => text frame
    Ideal would be:
    Table => text frame with rounded corners => text frame
    But I am starting to believe that this is not possible in InDesign (since it moves the table in the frame)
    Now I will try to figure out if my Excel links will still survive in InCopy with the image frame option.
