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.

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!

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

Not able to see the generated chart image

I'm using Oracle 6i Reports and Oracle 9i dtabase to generate a report with graphs embedded. I'm able to view the tables populated with exact values but cannot see the graph. The chart image and html generated are placed correctly in the directory pointed to cahedir, but yet I'm not able to see the image. Can you tell me how to congifure the Html output from the server.

Not able to access files from Workspace Images and Static files

Hi,
We have just migrated our APEX Application from one server to another.
All the functionality is working fine except the images or files which we are uploading

Shared Components -> Images
We are uloading Images in Shared Components -> Images but those are not getting displayed there.
Similarly the files which we are uploaded in Shared Components -> Static Files are not accessible. If we
try to download using download icon its showing blank screen.
I am using some javascript files which i have uploaded into static files, but not able to refer them in page.
Please someone guide us how to resolve the above problem.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards

Hello Sanjay,
If you upload any static files such as IMAGES, FILES, or CSS you have to use the tags: #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# or #IMAGE_PREFIX# depending on your files location..
then try something like htp.p ('<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#fileName.gif" />');
And it should show the fileName.gif on your browser...
I am not sure if i remember correctly, you can reference files to a specific application or to the whole application, if I am not mistaken..Correct me..

Not able to change whre to save images in camera raw

Several times after installing Yosemite and then buying into photoshop CC (because cs6 started acting erratic with Yosemite), when trying to change the location as to where the images are saved, Photoshop just replies "Error. The task cannot be completed" when hitting the "Change saving folder" button. Why??

No one can tell, as you have not given any information. We don't even know if you're on Mac or Windows.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Why am I not able to add keywords when importing images?

When I import images into LR, I am unable to add keywords in the relevant window. When I click in the window, it will not let me access. Very frustrating. Does anyone know why?

Andrew,
I've never seen this problem come up. Can you provide a screen shot? Is the keyword entry panel greyed out? (What do you mean by "will not let me access?").
With a little more info or an example, we might be able to come up with the solution.

Not able to print more than 6 images in Preview?

So having installed a new printer on my MacBook, I am trying to print a folder full of images in one hit...
They are mixed file types, web docs, jpgs etc.
However, when I go select "Open With" it comes up with Safari, so I go through and open with Preview - but it will only open, and therefore print...6 of them.
My first thought was that it was only certain file types opening, but even when I just open jpgs - the same thing happens, and it will only print six.
Any ideas?!

Hmmm, when the Print Dialog comes up, have you tried changing the Pages setting from All to From 1 to 10 say?
Does Text Edit print more than 6 pages?
What happens when you try to Print a seventh after the 6?

AP Div with Rounded Corners

Hi All,
I want to draw an AP Div but I want it to have rounded corners. The reason being is that when I add a seperate background it will be more obvious and look better.
If anybody knows of a better way of adding a body of text with it's own background and rounded corners please can you let me know how to do it?
Many Thanks
Big_Gee

Wow Big_Gee! I think that's a Big_Question!
For a start, you can add rounded corners using CSS3 but it isn't widely supported accross all browsers. I don't think that DW will add those CSS rules but it won't take too much to find sample code on the web with a quick Google search on CSS Rounded Corners or something. Nancy O has recently responded to a rounded corner question here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/657158?tstart=30. I don't konw if it makes a difference that you want the effect on AP Divs or not. I haven't read that you can't.
Adding a background image is achieved with CSS and you might be able to think about putting the rounded corners on the image in your graphics editor. That will depend partly on how flexible you site is and whether users can increase text size in the browser.
If you are using AP Divs (position: absolute) you need to be a bit cautious. General advice is to use them very sparingly and when other options don't achive what you want.

Not able to delete Personalized Items !!!

All,
I was trying to create a flex field through personalization in iProcurement 11.5.10. There was some issue and i was not able to create it properly. Now, if i go to that page, its throwing an error.I cannot got that page at all to click on "Personalize" link. As a result, I decided to delete the personalized items through exec jdr utils. There it showed me as deleted. But I was still able to see that error. When i went to Functional Admiinistrator responsibility, I was able to see the items still existing! I tried to delete through Functional Admiinistrator manually by clicking on delete icon. It shows me the warning message but I am still able to see those items.
Are there any settings required??
Please reach out for this, as this will stop all the testing.
Thanks
Padmaja

Thanks for the prompt resolution People !!!
I had not given commit. But when i queried again for 'list document', it did not show me any personalizations exisiting in the page.
I had not bounced the server after setting profile option "Disable Self-Service personal" to "Yes". When all the persoanlizations got disabled, I could successfully navigate through the page and delete it.
I really could not understand the problem with the Funcational Admin responsibility.

Bug: Artefacts on rounded corners

On Safari Version 6.0.2 (8536.26.17), ML, Retina MacBook, there are artefacts on the corners of HTML elements which have CSS rounded corners.
See image for details:
This does not happen in other browsers (Chrome...), and it seems it happens only on the right side of those elements. I haven't noticed artefacting on the left side.
This is not a CSS bug or something code related, as this same CSS works perfectly on other browsers and even in Safari on non-Retina screens.
So: Safari 6, Mountain Lion, Retina - artefacting on right side of rounded corners.

I also have this bug.
Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17)

Paint Bucket Tool and Rounded Corners

Hello everyone. First and foremost I have to mention that I am kind of a newbie with PS, so go easy on me.
I have been using the bucket tool in order to fill the background of some images, but after a while the colour I selected resulted in a different shade. For example, black resulted in grey and so on. What can be the source of this? Have I accidentely selected something which does this?
Another problem I have is about creating rounded corners for an image. I used this tutorial http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2008/09/03/round-corners-in-pho toshop.aspx and it worked great the first few times, but than the area around the corners became white instead of being transparent. I followed the exact stepts as in that tutorial but with no effect.
Example: it looks ok, but that's because of the white background of the page, move it to some place which is coloured and the white areas appear.
Also, is there another, easier way to create this rounded corners?
Thank you for your time.

Here's another way to create the rounded corners image:
1. Duplicate the background layer
2. select the rounded rectangle tool set to shape and set your radius in the tool options bar
3. draw out the rounded rectangle (the color for the rectangle doesn't matter)
4. move the shape layer below your duplicated layer in the layer stack
5. click on the shape layer in the layers panel
6. go to Layer>Create Clipping Mask
7. Trim the image by going to Image>Trim>Transpaerent Pixels

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.
