P: It would be good if the roundrect vector tool corner radius was editable during and after drawing

[marcbjango]

Problem Description — Illustrator allows realtime tweaking of the corner radius of rounded rectangles while drawing, using the arrow keys. It’s brilliant and takes the guesswork out of drawing rounded rectangles. Drawing a roundrect in Photoshop is a trial and error affair, because you have to choose the corner radius prior to drawing.

This means it usually takes several attempts to draw a rounded rectangle, because you have to delete what you’ve done and start again each time. It’d be even better if the rounded rect’s corner radius remained editable after drawing. Allowing a different corner radius for each corner would be the icing on the cake. Given the current implementation of vector rounded rectangles in Photoshop, I’m not sure how it’d be possible to implement edibility without significant changes.

Workaround — Lots of trial and error, drawing and redrawing until the correct radius is achieved.

Thanks David. It works great. 🙂

Thanks for the feedback. I just fixed a bug and uploaded a new revision (literally two minutes ago.) It wasn't always selecting the correct path if you had multiple paths along with shapes.

Borthjordan: I don't know. I've only tested it on a PC. Are you using it on a Mac? I have a Mac at work that I can test it with tomorrow.

I am an a Mac, ya. If there's any more info I can get you, be sure to let me know!

Thanks again!

David,
It works on the Mac, as long as you don't touch the middle box, but instead, change all four corners individually.

Anyone receive this when you try to run?

Error 1302: No such element

Line: 51
-> radius4=lower-roundedRec.pathPoints[6].anchor[1]

This new version fixes the Mac crashing issue in my tests:

Is there anything else that would be helpful? How about updating multiple layers at once? Buttons like the old panel version?

Wow dude! Thanks a lot!

Will let you know if I think of enhancements!

Doesn't react well with when there are multiple paths in a shape. I think you mentioned this already somewhere.

I imagine it's hard to correct.

[Yelnats1]

Yeah, it may be possible, but more than I am able/willing to do at this point.

There is no (documented) way to change an existing path using scripting. My script reads the first sub-path in a shape and gets the bounds and tries to determine the existing curvature of the corners. When you change the radius, the script deletes the existing vector mask and creates a new one.
I don't know of a way to get the currently selected sub-path to determine what needs to be changed.

Looks like Davind Jensen did it again here is a panel that allows to change the corner's roundness after drawing, individually: http://photoshopscripts.wordpress.com...

This topic status is now "under consideration", it smells good. 😉 Maybe something is planned for CS6.5.

I have to say, we've been using it since first released and this panel is amazing. Many thanks to David!

[Yelnats1]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll have a new version out soon that works with any shape with straight lines. It will also have multiple corner style options.

David, I've also been using it occasionally, and love it. The main downside I see though is that even when the radius is none (set to 0), the corner still has more than 1 point (it has 3). Would be nice if it could somehow delete the other 2 unnecessary points when that radius is 0.

[Yelnats1]

I did it that way so the (quite crude) method I used to determine the radius of existing corners would still work if the script was run again on the same shape.

The new script only creates one point when the radius is set to 0. I'm aiming at releasing it this weekend.

Please let us know if you do. I would be all over it. Your script gets daily use in my designs.

Editable Rounded rectangle corners is one of the new features of Photoshop CC:

incredibleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Long time waiting for essential features. Now the affinity photo in its first version already includes all this and more. Thousands of shapes with controls in affinity photo (awesome), in adobe to have this we have to go to illustrator.
