Round rectangle edges are blurred...

I have seen people complain about this, but no work arounds. The blurry eddges I see on the rounded portion of round rectangles is awful. IS there a workaround?
Graham

It is currently a shape. The line I'm referring to is created dynamically using actionscript.
[CODE]
//----BLACK ROUND RECT BOX----//
var square:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(square);
square.graphics.lineStyle(3,0x000000);
square.graphics.drawRoundRect(0,0,425,250,36);
square.graphics.endFill();
square.x = 87;
square.y = 35;
[/CODE]

Rounded rectangle corners in FW3?

Where the heck is my rectangle tool options panel that let's
me round rectangle edges?!?!?!
you may ask, why version 3? - it's 'cuz my company is too
cheap to upgrade. I use it decently well despite this, but I
digress.
I thought all you had to do was double click the rectangle
tool like it states in the help:
You can round the corners of a rectangle or square as you
draw it by setting the curvature of the corners in the Rectangle
tool Options panel.
Set this value before drawing the rectangle.
To draw a rectangle with rounded corners:
1 Double-click the Rectangle tool to open the Rectangle tool
Options panel.
2 Enter a value in the Corner text box.
3 Hold down the mouse button and drag to draw a rectangle.
Note: You cannot round the corners of an existing rectangle.
The problem is, that the Rectangle tool options panel doesn't
open!! is this a bug? or am i just missing something really
obvious?? help!! has anyone else run into this?

oy vey. never mind - i found it. it's so obvious that i want
to cry. the problem was the inspector was already open and off
underneath something that I couldn't immediately see. what a
doofus. sorry for taking up space.

Jagged edges when using rounded rectangle

Hi,
Hope someone can help me here.
I am designing a website for myself (first timer) and have created menu bars and buttons using the rounded rectangle tool.
The images look good but the edges are pixelated.
I am using anti-alias and have also try feathered but to no avail.
When I preview the site in the browser I can still see the pixelated edges (I assumed it might be a magnification or resolution issue)
I am not using any images, have not extracted etc. I am simply using the rounded rectangle to create a menu bar and then colouring it in as a gradient, adding text and that's pretty much it.
Any help given here will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eddie

You shouldn't see anything in the browser that you don't see in Fireworks. If you have magnified your view by zooming your browser, then reset it to normal zoom. If that isn't the problem...
One thing you can try is to make your navigation images 2 or 4 times larger than you want, export the files, import them and reduce them to 50% or 25%, depending. Sometimes, you can get what appears to be a smoother edge by reduction than you can with Firework's anti-aliasing of rounded shapes.

The middle handle on the rectangle is not there anymore when I select it with the black arrow (v) tool. Show bounding box and edges are both on. Where dd the middle anchor go??

haggyabeken,
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), see this thread linked to below.
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1595973
So a switch to Mavericks 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.
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:

Since last 2 updates (yesterday to ios 8.3) the screen area on my ipad mini when in Facebook is smaller with a big empty 'frame' round the edges

Since last 2 updates the screen area on my ipad mini when I am on Facebook has shrunk with an empty area like a frame round the edges. How can I get it back to fill the screen?

How to remove ios 8 ? This is biggest failure of Apple. It slow down my ipad , freez application, freez key board....?

How to smooth pixelated edges of Rounded Rectangle Filter?

I'm using the rounded rectangle filter to divide the frame into about 25 pieces (a mosaic type of transition is what Im going for) and I like the look of the round rectangle but the four corners are terribly pixelated. Is this just an oversight on the part of the programs developers or is there a setting I am over looking?
Thanks Mac People,
Justin!

Hey Jim,
I am seeing the pixelation on my monitor. The oval shape filters work just fine, and thats what has me scratching my head.
Also, i have my Filmo figured out, except for the dial one the viewfinder that changes the size of the frame in side it. Do those numbers correlate with different size lenses? Do you have any suggestions and what lenses I should look into and where to find them. Theere is only one on the camera as is, a very small one about the size of a golf ball.
Thanks again Jim,
Justin!

Why are my rounded rectangles distorted?

When I use the Rounded Rectangle shape on the Tools Palette, it is getting distorted in the PDF. The other shapes look good. I'm attaching a sample.
I'm using FrameMaker 8.2p277. To create the PDF, I do File>Print and select Adobe PDF as a printer. On the PDF Options, I have selected the same joboptions that I've been using.
I double-checked in Distiller and I do not have "Convert gradients to smooth curves" or "convert smooth lines to curves" selected. Those settings have caused trouble in the past.
What else should I check?
Thanks,
Cheryl

OK. I stumbled upon the answer. When creating a PDF by choosing the Adobe PDF printer in FrameMaker, I had to:
1. On the Print Document window, select Setup button. That opens the Print Setup window, where I choose the Adobe PDF printer. Then I click Properties, which opens the Adobe PDF Document Properties window. On that window, the Default Settings shows "Standard". If I click the Edit button next to that, it opens the Standard - Adobe PDF Settings window. If I drill down on "Advanced" I can see that "Convert smooth lines to curves" is selected. So then I cancel out of that window, back to Adobe PDF Document Properties. On that window, I select my own joboptions for Default Settings, which I know does not have "Convert smooth lines to curves" selected. Click OK twice.
2. Now, back on the Print Document window, I select PDF Setup. I make sure that my own joboptions is selected from the list and I click Set.
Now, the file is generated properly and my rounded rectangles look perfect:
If I omit either of those steps, then my rectangles are distorted. I think they look like worms that have been stepped on:

Windows bottom corner left and right edges are not rounded

Hello,
I have an issue with my macbook pro retina 13inch.
The left and right bottom corner are not rounded like they are supposed to be, I can see the pixel.
They do not always appear so it is not a display problem (dead pixel) but a software problem.
For example with full screen mode in safari sometimes they appear sometiems they do not.
A clean install of my mac did not solve the issues.
Here is a picture to explain the issues :

Hello Dominic,
It is not normal.
Sometimes my windows are rounded the way yours are and sometimes they are not.
Click on the picture of my post to zoom and see the problem.
Here is another screenshot, this time with a windows which has no issues :

Rounded rectangle shape - save for web issue

Hi, I made a rounded rectangle logo with radius=40 and when I save the file for web, shape appears with cutted edges. In .psd file everything looks fine, problem apperas only with save for web options (.jpg/.png). is this some bug, do somebody know how I can fix this?

If this is a bug, I would either flatten or merge visible - making sure you have a pixel layer - even if it is blank, so the shape layers are rasterized before you save for web. Just don't flatten it and save your original file!

Splitting a rounded rectangle

I have a rounded-edged square. I want to fill one half of it with color. Normally I'd drop another rectangle on it through the middle, and then use the pathfinder tool to break it into the half I want to color and the half I don't. But with the rounded rectangle, that's creating new rounded edges where I want square ones. Solutions?

This sounds as if the rounded corners are applied as an effect. What you should do instead is to draw your square using the rounded rectangle tool. Then you can cut that in half (various methods available as well as Pathfinder) and the corners will be square each side of the cut.

How to make ROUNDED rectangle default style cp8?

Hi,
I want my smart shape style to be rounded rectangle, not squared. I have set up my object styles with color and all that good stuff, but there is no way I can see to make it the rounded shape instead of the squared off shape. I also tried to change one on the properties panel thinking I could "apply to all" but that option is not available. I am trying to use smart shapes as my captions in recording and it sure would be nice not to have to touch every single one and change it to rounded - defeats the purpose of styles, yes?
Using CP8, latest version (I checked and there are no updates available), on a windows machine, 64 bit.
Thanks!!!
Kelly

Rick, that option has effect on the captions inserted while creating a software simulation.
@LMS_90 About which shapes as Text container are you talking? Object styles for Shapes do not include the 'form' of the shape. And at this moment, you cannot set such a form as being included in the default style, with the one exception that Rick points out: added text during a simulation capture.
Even for Success/Failure/Hint shapes you cannot define that it always has to be a rounded rectangle. For Question slides, you can set them up in the master slides, and if you use always master slides with placeholders it is also possible. Quite a lot of the default themes have rounded rectangle shapes as text container for Title and Subtitle.
Also in the Properties the 'form' is not part of the style: if you apply the default Shape Style that includes Stroke, Fill, Character properties, Margins, Shadow...but not the shape itself. That is the reason why 'Apply to all' cannot be used for the shape form.
This is probably not the answer you expected, I try to change as much as possible in the Master slide.

Creating Rounded Rectangle Outline Colour Issue

Hi all,
I am wanting to create a rounded rectangle, with an outline or boarder with a colour black (Or other colours). But i am unable to find where i'm able to add an outline colour as an option before drawing out the shape or after drawing the shape.
The only option i am able to do is changing the background colour of the shape created, and i was wondering if you are able to add an outline when creating or after creating a rounded rectangles or other shapes...
Thanks,
James

But i am unable to find where i'm able to add an outline colour as an option before drawing out the shape or after drawing the shape.
Styles -> Stroke.

PSE 5: Creating a rounded rectangle not filled in.

I want to create a rounded rectangle with the rounded rectangle tool, but I don't want it filled it with color, just outline / stroke. I see it's been discussed here but I can't figure it out. Any advance would be great.

Another way, in addition to the ways posted above, is to draw out
your shape.
Then go to layer styles and find the style set named visibility.
There are three styles there: show, hide and ghosted. Pick the
hide style and your color will be hidden. Then Alt+double click
on the shape thumbnail to bring up the layer style settings
dialog. At the bottom of the dialog is a stroke option, where you can
choose your stroke color, size and opacity.
The advantage of this way is you can edit the settings later by double
clicking on the small fx beside the shape layer.
If you wish to restore the color later, you can use the show style in the
visibility layer style set.
Later versions of photoshop elements work the same way.

Bug report about create new footprint with Rounded rectangle in 3D info Bottom

I create new footprint with rounded rectangle in 3D info Bottom,the rounded rectangle must be in bottom,but In fact,the rounded rectangle
created in top layer.i think it's wrong.
I used ultiboard 10.1.357.

Hi,
Thank you for reporting this. This has been a long standing issue with Ultiboard and we are looking into resolving this.
There is a work around although a very inconvenient one. You can set the height to what you require and use a negative offset to move the shape to the other side of the board. The 3D shape will appear on the other side, but in reality is just shifted, not mirrored.
Hope that helps. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Where is the rounded rectangle tool in PS6? Please be specific :)

Where is the rounded rectangle tool in PS6? Please be specific. AlI see is the rectangle tool and not the rounded one.

Grouped in the same slot as the other shape tools.
Click and hold on the shape icon in the toolbox to reveal the hidden tools.
The little black arrow beside most of the icons in the toolbox means there are hidden tools grouped in the same slot.
