Rounding corners of shapes and text in Photoshop. Rounding corners in a photo in Photoshop How to round corners in Photoshop

I have been looking for a long time for how to round the corners using Adobe Photoshop, but everything is left out somewhere, or it is written incorrectly. As it turns out, rounding the corners of any picture will take no more than 30 seconds, naturally after you learn how to do it.

And so, in order to perform such a simple operation, you need to launch the application and drop the image we need inside the program, or use Menu->File->Open->Required picture.jpg. I will use a regular image of nature.

Pay attention to the lower right corner, a background image has appeared in “Layers”, it must be converted to a layer. To do this, right-click on the background and select “Layer from background”.

As a result of this action, our background will be converted into a layer.

Create a duplicate of the image by right-clicking on Layer 0 and selecting “Create a duplicate layer.”

Hide "Layer 0" from the work area. To hide a layer, click the EYES icon next to the layer name.

Select the desired part of the image.

Once you have marked the desired part of the image with a rectangle, right-click inside the selection and select “Create selected area”.

In the dialog box, click the OK button, but don’t touch the feathering.

A very important point! Select Layer 0 (Copy), then press the DELETE button on the keyboard. Layer 0 (copy) should be selected with a regular mouse click.

If everything is done correctly, in Photoshop you will see something like this. Now you can save the image, for example in png format, and enjoy the work of art.

There is one more point: if the cut out piece is two or even 3 times smaller than the original image, it will have a large empty area, which must be removed. To do this, select the cutting tool and select the area of the image without the empty area.

Then go to the Edit->Copy menu.

Go to the File->New menu and just click OK. The program will automatically adjust the width and height of the canvas of the selected area of the image.

In the new project “Unnamed 1”, and we will automatically find ourselves in it, go to the Edit->Insert menu.

The best way to save a picture is to use the “Save for Web” option. Firstly, you can manually select the image quality as a percentage, and secondly, the image size will be several times smaller than if saved in the usual way.

And what did we get as a result?

For those who don’t understand how I managed to round the corners, I specially recorded a video that will help you with this simple task.

The rounded corners in the photo look quite interesting and attractive. Most often, such images are used when making collages or creating presentations. Also, pictures with rounded corners can be used as thumbnails for posts on the site. There are many options for use, but there is only one way (correct) to get such a photo. In this tutorial we will show you how to round corners in Photoshop.

Rounding Corners in Photoshop

To achieve the result, we use one of the group's tools "Shapes", and then just remove everything unnecessary.

Open the photo in Photoshop that you are going to edit.
Then create a copy of the waterfall layer called "Background". To save time, use hotkeys CTRL+J. The copy is created in order to leave the original image intact. If (suddenly) something goes wrong, you can delete the failed layers and start over.
Go ahead. And then we need a tool "Rectangle with rounded corners".

In this case, we are only interested in one of the settings – the rounding radius. The value of this parameter depends on the image size and needs. We will set the value to 30 pixels, so the result will be better visible.
Next, draw a rectangle of any size on the canvas (we will scale it later).
Now you need to stretch the resulting figure across the entire canvas. Calling the function "Free Transform" hot keys CTRL+T. A frame will appear on the shape, which you can use to move, rotate, and resize the object.
We are interested in scaling. Stretch the figure using the markers indicated in the screenshot. After scaling is complete, click ENTER.

Advice: in order to scale as accurately as possible, that is, without going beyond the canvas, you need to enable the so-called "Binding". Look at the screenshot, it shows where this function is located. It causes objects to automatically “stick” to supporting elements and canvas borders.
Next we need to select the resulting figure. To do this, hold down the key CTRL and click on the thumbnail of the layer with the rectangle.
As you can see, a selection has formed around the figure. Now go to the copy layer, and remove visibility from the layer with the shape (see screenshot).
The waterfall layer is now active and ready for editing. Editing consists of removing unnecessary things from the corners of the picture. Inverting selection using hotkeys CTRL+SHIFT+I. Now the selection remains only on the corners.

Good morning, afternoon, evening or night everyone. Dmitry Kostin is with you again and again. One day I was looking through different pictures and then I liked some of them. And they liked them because they had rounded edges. It immediately looks more interesting. Don't you think so? And that’s why in today’s lesson I would like to tell you how to round corners in Photoshop to make the photo look more interesting.

What I love about Photoshop is that in many cases the same thing can be done in several ways. So here. Let's get started with our photoshop.

Simple smoothing

Smoothing Using Borders

This method is similar to the previous one, but still very different. We will do everything with the same image.

By creating a shape

The third method is already radically different from the previous two. So take a break for a couple of seconds and move on. I won’t change the image and will load this car into Photoshop again.

Do you see what you ended up with? The picture has rounded edges, and all because it is displayed only where our drawn rounded rectangle is. But now you can crop out the extra photo using the Frame tool, or you can immediately save the picture and you will already have a separate image with rounded corners.

Try to do everything yourself, and at the same time tell me which of the presented methods is more preferable to you.

And by the way, if you have gaps in Photoshop or you just want to fully learn it in the shortest possible time, then I highly recommend that you watch one great photoshop course for beginners. The course is well done, everything is told and shown just great, and each material is discussed in great detail.

Well, I’m finishing my lesson for today. Don't forget to subscribe for new articles and share this with your friends. I was glad to see you on my blog. I'm waiting for you again. Bye bye.

Best regards, Dmitry Kostin

Photograph or other image in digital format;
A computer with a licensed Corel Draw program installed on it.

Instruction

Let's consider a method where you need to round one or more corners of a rectangular one in different ways.
Open a new one in Corel Draw using CTRL+N, or select the “Create” function in the drop-down list from the “File” menu. Next, from the same list, select the “Import” operation or call it with the CTRL+I key combination. Next, specify the path to the image file in the dialog box and click the “Import” button. Yours will appear on this sheet.

In the toolbar, find the “Node Editor” rollout and select the “Shape” tool. This tool can also be called up by pressing the F10 key.

To the right of the corner you need to round, left-click on the border of the image. A new node will appear in the image, in addition to the four corner ones. Next, select the Convert Line To Curve option in the Node Editor panel. Round marks will appear to the left of the newly created node.

At the same distance from the corner, add a new node on the perpendicular side of the image. Without changing the Shape tool, double-click on the main corner node, it will be deleted. The rounded corner of the image will immediately become noticeable. You can use the straight line guide marks to change the corner radius.

In a very simple way (using a vector object), you can simultaneously round all the corners of a rectangular image. Without resorting to the above method of editing nodes, draw a rectangle of the same size next to the imported image with the Rectangle Tool or call the tool with the F6 key.

Using the “Shape” tool you are already familiar with, click on the rectangle and drag the mouse over any of its nodes towards the center of the rectangle. The corners will be rounded. The radius of curvature can be adjusted with the same tool.
Mark your image with the arrow of the Pick Tool.
Next, in the main menu list, find the “Effects” rollout and select the “PowerClip” option and the “Place Inside Container” function from the drop-down list. Use a wide arrow to point to the rectangle you drew with rounded corners. It will become the frame in which your image will be placed.
