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)

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.

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.

Rounding the corners on an image

Hi
Is there a simple way to round the corners on an image?
The way I do it (like on the front page of http://www.villasfloridavillas.com) seems way too complicated...
Sorry if this is a really dumb question!
Cheers
RD

A really flexible way to approach this is to create a path with the Shape tool (U or Shift-U). In your situation, of course, use the Rounded Rectangle tool as D Fosse already suggested. Or, use any closed path you might want to create, using any other tools.
If you need to, use the Free Transform tool (Ctrl-T / Command-T) and/or the Direct Select tool (A) to position, distort, reshape, scale, etc. This can include tweaking the roundedness of the shape you just created, rounding just certain corners, etc.
Then, with the Direct Select tool (A) active, right-click the image and choose Make Selection.
Then, press Ctrl-J (Command-J) to create a new layer cropped to the contents of the shape.
So the sequence is really simple and easy to remember: Shape, Select, Jerk.
     Make a shape,
     Make the shape into a selection,
     Ctrl-J (Command-J).
Note that after you have made the shape into a selection, it only affects the current view. So you can turn layers on and off in the Layers panel, or move the selection around around, and crop out identically-sized chunks of anything on any layer. The Ctrl-J technique makes this fast and efficient.
Bart Cross's "smoothed marquee" technique is pretty cool, though, if you only need rounded corners. However, be careful not to make the original marquee fit the entire image. The marquee will snap to the outer edges, and then the Smooth option will become unavailable. There has to be a pixel or two outside the marquee to enable all the Select / Modify choices (at least this is true in CS4).

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.

Any advise on how I can turn just one word in a sentence upside down, as opposed to all flipped

Could someone advise on how I can turn just one word in a sentence upside down, as opposed to all flipped. Im trying to make one word stand out whilst designing in a text sentence window.
Thanks In advance

It’s best to type your sentence and then click on the hand tool to deselect the Type tool
Click the type tool again and type the word you wish to rotate (it will be on a separate layer.
Select the layer with the full sentence and add a layer mask.
Choose the brush and paint with black to mask the word in the sentence.
Select the layer above with the single word and use the move tool to rotate and position it. Then save.

Select Modify Expand is rounding my corners out of nowhere.

I was working on something the other day that may or may not have something to do with this where I was going to Select>Modify>Feather.
Whenever I try to make any type of selection, be it Ctrl+clicking the thumbnail, rectangular marquee tool, or pen tool, It has rounded edges for no reason. I have no feathering on, I have no anti-aliasing on. I tried going to Select>Modify>Feather and changing it to 0 but, it won't let me go below 0.1 and even still, that shouldn't be affecting my selections unless I choose it for each individual selection right? It's just frivolously rounding my edges. I tried deleting my preferences file and that didn't help either. I'm on Photoshop CC btw. The corners seem to be fine until I Select>Modify>Expand. I can't tell if the feather's just so low that you can't tell before the expand or if it's the expand causing the edges to round off. I have been using this method for months now and Expand has never rounded my edges until today.

I know that there's alternatives but, what I want to know is why I have never gotten rounded corners from expand until today when everyone is telling me that getting rounded corners from expand is actually how it's supposed to work. I know for sure that all the feathering options are at 0 but, it's not feathering, it's just rounding and, I know for sure that I was using Select>Modify>Expand to increase the size of specific shapes, most recently for layer masks. I can't think of anything I could have hit that would have caused it to just change out of the blue like this.

Round border corners

Hi
have a look at this:
http://www.mrandmrssmith.com/?CMP=%20KAC-OF9998476933
specifically the corner being rounded, and the drop shaddow.
2 questions, I realise I can achieve all this by creating an
image to put in back of a table or layer, but its heavy on the
download. is it possible to achive these functions simply using
css? I have dw8 2004mx so its a little out of date, so if its not
availabe as a function in that version I need to know where to go
looking for the xhtml to create it.
any ideas?
cheers

Google for CSS Rounded Corners, there are loads of tricks and
techniques
you can use, most of them rely on images, but after one page
load the
images are now in the cache and each page will load much
quicker.

Rounding sharp corners and minimum path size

I'm in sign business. We use illustrator to prepare files to cut vinyl stickers (foil) on a cutting plotter.
I suspect there is dedicated sign software that handles the problem below, but i'm stuck with illustrator to do this.
There are 2 requirements for cutting vinyl:
1. Corners can not be too sharp, or they will easily come loose.
A combination of positive and negative offset effects with "round" selected, stacked on top of eachother, does the job.
The negative offset does remove some parts however.
2. Minimum area: lines can't bee to small. En general rule of thumb is no to go below 1mm.
A function would be desired that, let's say, removes parts that are extremely small (for example 1 squared mm). Other small parts should be made somewhat thicker.
So instead manually checking and preparing every file, i want illustrator to do this for me!
Using effects, actions, scripts, plugins, whatever.
See the following image:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8911045/example.png
(the insert image button doesn't seem to work with me at this moment, i'll try again later)

No special filter that does all the magic, unfortunately
It's not that you have to draw every path point-by-point. You can use commands like outline stroke, boolean operations, etc., etc. and get paths not fully optimized, but clean enough for vinyl cutting.
And it's not that related portions of what you need to do frequently cannot be scripted. It's that scripts are very literal; very explicit. If you expect any kind of one-size-fits-all solution, you have to very specifically nail down the requirements that would work for all situations.
You would be better off just carefully thinking through the steps that you find yourself doing repeatedly, and then consider the portions of them that can be at least semi-automated by recording a macro (so-called "Actions" in Illustrator).
Most of the functions you need to automate are commands in the standard interface. That's the domain of macros, not scripts. And macros are much simpler to tweak on-the-fly than scripts.
For example, although I can and do write my own scripts, I frequently use an Action to create "halos" around individual parts in exploded assembly illustrations that are imported DXFs. It basically :
Runs the Simplify command
Sets stroke attributes
Outlines strokes
Unions the resulting fills
Names the selection
Duplicates
Releases compound path
Unions
Offsets path
Changes fill to white
Sends to back
Groups
That yields a single offset path around the drawing of the part which creates the "halo" that visually separates it from other parts in the assembly order which it partially overlaps. (Think of a stack of washers, nuts, grommets, seals, etc. closely spaced along a single thrust line.)
That macro is run with a single click dozens of times in the course of processing a single drawing. The first step (Simplify) often needs different settings for DXFs from different sources. It's a simple thing to do a couple of tests and tweak the parameters of that one step in a given session.
Scripts may feel more "exotic" but in Illustrator scripting is more for things that the standard interface can't do. (One should be able to invoke a macro with a script and vice-versa, and that, like everything else that falls into the Adobe feature request black hole, has been requested since AI first acquired scripting.)

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 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.

Grant to a specific user and deny for all other users

I have 100 users. Out of 100 users, i have windows & sql authentication users. I have a view "SQL_CONFIG_V" and want to give access to "corp\abc" (windows authentication user) and "poc" (sql authentication user) and all
system user id's(by default) like sys, information_schema etc. I want to deny all other users to see view defintion or alter this view "SQL_CONFIG_V" except the users that i specified here.

You can deny access to those users to the database, or they are have the access but you do not want them to SELECT that specific view? Do the users members of db_owner role?
