TUTORIAL[Rounded Borders]

First off, there MUST be a image or ready made banner that you wanna make a round border for. Take it out, open it. ect. [btw my stock is really light, you can barely see the rounded borders =.= i know i am bad at making these too, so bare with me]

Now first step is to go over the whole thing with your rectangular marquee tool and copy it:

First: Take out your picture and copy it:


Simple?

Now go

Second:
File>New>Transparent

You don't need to set size, because when you copy a image, it already has the size of the image you copied already.


Third:
Now go to your tools, and get out your round tool. And if you don't know how, right click on your mouse at the shape tool like my picture, and it'll show you you


Now go back to your new blank document and:

Fourth:
Pull the shape out to fill the blank transparent layer


Not hard right? Now for final

Fifth:
Go over to your layer panelette, if it's not out, go to the top:
Window>Layers

Now you see it right? It should show you all your layers.

Now go up top to:
Layer>New>Layer

Now go back to your Layer Panlette, place[NOT click] your mouse over between the new layer and your shape layer and press Alt until you see two circles overlaying, and click your mouse once. It should turn out like this:


With the arrow pointing down. See it? Now continue for finishing

Sixth:
You still have your picture copied, so now just go:
Edit>Paste

Viola your picture should turn out rounded onto the shape. You can difinitely try with other shapes too. Have fun

this is my finish



see it's rounded. For more intsructions, just ask. Or if you need help with a step just ask, I'll try to answer.

wow..
thats a diff way of doing it..
*shrugs*

wow thanks for making this tutorial lol i'l try i out soon and edit this post and show u my results lol

EDiiT/

instead of placing the layer thingy u can right clik the new layer and creating clipping mask. thats easier lol

lool u cant really c mine, its white lol



heres another

I did all teh steps you said but for some reason the rounded border doesn't show up

It didn't come up? Can I see your finished piece?

I tried it a few times with different images and it didn't work at all so i just deleted all teh images i tried...sorry =(

Oooh nice tutorial !. O__o; sounds hard ><; My way is way different o__o; and it makes the transparancy too XD; and very easy o__o lol~

Then do you mind making one then >.< Because I don't think anyone get's mines besides me

I get ur tutorial lol, but on Starryky_Butterfly's thread i think her one is easier lol

Mine involves the select inverse, and select modify, round, save as web. Haha it's pretty easy XD
Though; I want to do yours O_o I haven't heard of any type doing round borders like that XD

o0o nice tutorial~!

but.. i do it a different way too.. O_O
I use the shape thing and then select inverse of the pics afterewards deleted and make sure it transparents and then save for web. to save as gif..which something ruins the quality.. O_O
but i will try yours, Mimi.

Hey!

Thanks so much for this tut!! I have been wondering how to do this the "easier" way!! There is another one which is so so so difficult. I think you need to use the mask thingy. X.X

i finally got how to do this! lmfao..

woahh this seems harder than the way i do it
well i tried, not realy getting it, so off to socials homework XD

pretty nice tutorial. it's easy! thanks for that
can you also teach like how to make custom borders?

Thanks everyone for their lovely comments


Custom borders? Can I see an example? I might know... or if I don't I'll learn >.<

I'll be adding for tutorials to this so stay tune

Ehh? That's how you do it? o.O
Haha I guess everyone has a different way of doing things xD

Lolx I know how to do it with the other way too, the way most people do it =.= (I think) modify, smooth, 5 px. ect. lolx. But I guess this way you can make custom borders (shapes) too Just change the rounded border step to any shape you want.

thanks!! that helps alot!! ==

thank you for the tutorial! i managed to do it although i wud really need lots of practice to be used to it..kinda hard actually..hehe..

Very useful tutorial!! But do you mind if you reupload the last 2 pictures again? Cause it's either moved/deleted. thanks!

I got it! It took several tries to get it right, but did it. Thanks!
