Can someone please tell me how I can round these edges. I have tried a few different ways but I think it is way easier then what I am doing. I am adding this to a shirt so I'd like it to have rounded edges.

    Correct answer Norman Sanders

    1. If the layer is locked, trash the lock.  Foreground Color: Black

    2. Add a Layer Mask by clicking on the Mask symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel. The mask will be adjacent to the image.

    3. Choose the Rounded Rectangle Tool. (It is nested with the tools above the Hand Tool}

    4. In the Options bar choose Pixels and on the far right of the bar choose Radius It is adjustable. Start with 75 px.

    5. Draw the rectangle. (Fig 2)

    6. Choose Image > Adjustments > Invert (Fig 3)

    Hi Kristin,

    My method is similar to Norman’s. The only thing I would add is you might want to pull out ruler guides to assist with precision from the edges for when you draw the rectangle.

      Hi Kristin,

      As you're looking to round the corners of this image, please have a look at this article and see if it helps: Edit rounded rectangles |


      Or you can try this method:

      After making the selection I pressed Ctrl+J to make a copy of the selected area of the original layer. for macOS the shortcut for Layer via Copy is Cmd+J
