Hello Everyone! So, you want to create rounded corners in Photoshop so that you can either create a pill-shape button or create a poster with rounded corners? Well, this video will show you how to create rounded corners for a layer or selection in Photoshop.
This method is much easier to use than an online website that turns a picture or shape into a rounded corner object. Or creating a shape in Adobe Illustrator and placing the image in Photoshop.
Use the Selection Tool
- Select the rectangle marquee tool
- Draw a rectangle.
- From the main menu, go to Select->Modify->Smooth. Enter the desired corner radius. It will depend on how big or small the shape is. I will typically go between the range of 5 to 20. Notice my rounded corner-selection?
- Fill the selection with whatever colour you want. Or copy an image and paste it into the section. Let’s add an image to the selection.
- Let’s open an image and copy it. From the main menu, you can go to Select – Select All or use the keyboard shortcut, Command A for a MAC or Control A for a PC. Then copy it. Edit – Copy or use the keyboard shortcut, Command C for a MAC or Control C for a PC
- From the main menu, go to Edit – Paste Special – Paste Into
There you have it! You have created a Rounded Corners Selection in Photoshop. Thanks for watching
