Rounded corners without jagged edge

[Juc1]

Hi all,

I want to have rounded corners on my boxes something like this (ie corners are smooth not jagged). So I make a selection with the rectangular marquee tool then select / modify / smooth 4 pixels, new layer via copy then save the new layer as a png. But on my saved png each corner has jagged / pixelated edges. Can anyone please tell me am I doing something wrong or is there a better way to do this?

Thanks...

post a screenshot please


what you can do
is instead of using the M tool
use the U tool, rectangular, select rounded edge

Just recently this was addressed see here, I believe SpruceMagoo did a video tutorial on this

Ok sorry I meant a link to the video tutorial not to the thread. Do you mean this post by sprucemagoo1 - if so I can see a jpg screenshot but not a video tutorial.

Thanks...

It says here re the Rounded Rectangle tool in CS5 that I need to check the "Snap to Pixels" option - I can't see this option in CS6 so do I need to do this?

Thanks...
