Rectangle Selection has rounded corners? I need sharp ones.

Seems silly, but I don't understand why the 'Rectangle Selection' marquee tool defaults to rounded corners.
I am obviously missing something very simple.  Thanks! 1-1-11

FIXED!
I fixed this challenge by adjusting the 'feather' from 20 px to 1!
Thanks all!    --Thomas

  • Make rectangle photo have rounded corners?

    HI,
    I have two banners I am using in my site. They are currently
    rectangles about 900 px wide. I would like to somehow crop or do
    something to get the corners rounded but not feather/faded/or
    blurred. I would like to just put a thin border around the photo so
    it looks clean but have the corner rounded.
    Thanks,
    -Westside

    Make a rounded-corner rectangle the size you want with the
    corner radius you like.
    Duplicate it and put the copy on a new layer.
    Make the first one with
    white fill and no stroke. Select your banner and the
    rectangle, then
    Modify > Mask > Group as Mask.
    Think of masks like stencils...white shows everything, black
    shows nothing, intermediate colors show by luminance.
    On the copy or your rounded rectangle, set the fill to none
    and the stroke to the border thickness and color you'd like. Since
    it's a copy of the shape you used to mask with, the border will
    match up exactly.

  • Rounded rectangle tool: change rounded corners

    would be nice:
    - Changed round every corner Radius property (not all at once)
    - After creating a rectangle, we can change stroke but not the radius

  • Select-modify-expand makes rounded corners

    Hello!
    In CS2&CS3 when expanding current selection the final one has rounded corners - with more pixels the expansion is, the more rounded effect is visible. Could you please tell me how to correct this?
    Thank you in advance.
    BR / Ilya.

    Ed:
    Any compound shape will not expand properly using transform selection, unless I misunderstand you. Neither will any shape with (more than 1??) concave angles... Obviously with a rectangle we could probably all come up with three or four simple ways to expand without truncating the corners.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Round Corners on object in Live Paint Group

    Hello,
    When I apply the Round Corners effect onto any one object in a Live Paint Group, it is applied onto the Group itself, thereby onto all objects in it instead of just the one I selected. Is there a way to apply the effect just onto the one object?
    Thanks in advance!

    That allows me to apply Round Corners to the object I want, but I lose the advantages of the Live Paint Group (most importantly being able to move my original shapes around and have the resulting paintable areas update to my changes).
    Another option I see is to apply Round Corners to the object and expand it before adding it to the Live Paint Group, but of course then I lose the ability to edit the effect.
    I guess I'll have to go with one of those.

  • Rounded Corners are gone Since Leopard

    I just installed OS 10.4 on an old 3G ipod to put a copy of iDefrag (to boot from), and when I booted into 10.4, I noticed that the default OS screen has rounded corners!
    Apple done away with these rounded corners in 10.5 Leopard! Why?
    Has anyone else noticed this? I have never seen a post anywhere about the subject.
    I want my rounded corners back! It felt very "Mac!"
    -Mark

    There is a small utility called Displaperture that will give you back the rounded corners.

  • Where can I get a square shape with 2 rounded corners?

    I don't know the name of the shape but it is square or rectangle with 2 rounded corners.
    It is picture # 156 at this link;
    http://www.brusheezy.com/images/previews/0000/0815/36Vectorbrushes.jpg
    Or how would I go about making one in Motion?
    Thanks.

    hi
    funny i did this very same shape the other week. as i remember i think i looked for an easy way but got bogged down. In the end I think I used a combination of a rounded rectangle and an unrounded version and masked the corners accordingly. This is motion 4 with the ability to round corners on all shapes though.

  • Problem rotating rectangle (selecting corners) after creating with rectangle tool in illustrator

    I'm using the latest CC version of Illustrator. When I draw a rectangle using the rectangle tool, I no longer seem to be able to select the corners to resize the rectangle nor does the cursor turn to a rotate icon when I put the mouse just outside the corner. I know that Ai CC treats rectangles differently now, with the live rectangles and the rounded corner options, and the transform box opening automatically. What I'm wondering, and hoping isn't the case, is whether this is this at the expense of being able to go right in and resize using the just the mouse? I know that there is the  "Object > Shape > Expand" option, but having to do that for every time I draw a rectangle is time-consuming and adds and extra step that was unnecessary before. I saw a tutorial on Lynda where the instructor drew a live rectangle in CC AND was still able to resize it by grabbing the corner "handle". Anyone know if this is just a setting I need to turn on or something similarly easy, or is it a case of Adobe inadvertently making the workflow longer when trying to make it easier? And yes, I have "show bounding box" selected under VIEW.

    MOD indi-go girl,
    I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
    So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
    To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
    A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

  • Rounded corners + resize rectangle

    How does one stop the rounded corners from degrading while resizing a rectangle with rounded corners?

    An added benifit to usng Effect>ConvertToShape>RoundedRectangle is that you can change the Corner Radius at any time using the Appearance Panel.
    If for some reason you have to have the rounded rectangel as a path and not as an  "effect" just select the rectangle and Expand Appearance.   You can go back and use the Effect>ConvertToShape>RoundedRectangle again if you want then back to Expand Appearance go back and forth as often as you like.
    Just remember if you want the corners to expand - resize the "Expand Appearance" object
    If you want the corners to keep the same radius - resize the "Effect>ConvertToShape>RoundedRectangle" object

  • Rounded Rectangle - Select one point to select side

    I work with shapes all day designing mobile apps. Thus, I'm constantly selecting and resizing rounded rectangles. When resizing I have to individually select all four points of a side to move it without distorting the rounded corners. I cannot click and drag, because that will activate any shapes underneath the one I want to select.
    I'm looking for a plugin or alternative to easily select the entire side of a rounded rectangle. IE - I click one point on a side, and it auto selects all four points on that side, or the like.
    Thanks.

    I didn't say I couldn't move or resize it. I said I have to select four points (because of the rounded corners) just to move a side (ie, make a button wider). Some have suggested I click and drag over all four points to select them, but this doesn't work if there is another shape (yes, on another layer) below the layer you are trying to select points on.

  • Objects: Rounded Corners on Rectangle

    How to make just one side of the square object with rounded corners round. That is, say, the left side of the filled, rectangle IS square (top and bottom left corners) but the top and bottom right corners ARE round.
    Stumped...

    For future reference, you can "square up" any one corner (or more) of a rounded rectangle, as well as altering other shapes. Select the shape, then Format > Shape > Make Editable. You then should see some red dots representing the endpoints of the arc for each rounded corner (in this case). You can reposition them to your heart's content, even bulging them out beyone square for whatever effect. Incidentally, to get back to this mode later, first click to select the shape, then click again to edit it. (NOTE: Not the same as double-clicking, which puts you into text entry mode.)

  • Box with rounded corners displays as rectangle in Web Browser

    I am using the box control (IBoxObject) in my Crystal Reports with rounded corners. However the box displays as a rectangle with square corners when viewed in a web browser. I have tried this in IE 7.0.5730.13, Firefox 3.0.3 and Chrome 0.2.149.30 all give the same problem.
    The interesting thing is that the boxes display correctly at design time and when exported to PDF, but they wonu2019t display correctly in IE/Firefox/Chrome. Here are the specific settings for the box:
                    CornerEllipseHieght = 375
                    CornerEllipseWidth = 375
                    Crystal Reports Version 10.5.3700.0
    I have also attached an image to try and clarify the problem.

    Thanks in advance for any help with this issue.

    Thank you Ted, this was my take on the problem but it is good to have a confirmation.
    There are CSS (HTML) solutions for creating boxes with rounded corners, such as [SpiffyBox|http://www.spiffybox.com/] and [CSS Rounded Box Generator|http://www.neuroticweb.com/recursos/css-rounded-box/index.php?idioma=en] and many more that can be found using [Google|http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cssboxeswithroundedcorners&btnG=Google+Search&meta=].
    Do you know of any plans to support rounded corners in the future?
    Thanks for your help!
