what about creating a selection with rounded corners and then just add parts you don't want to be rounded into it ?
or create the selection from a path where you can control every aspect of it or combine both : create a rectangular selection and cut from selection using paths or you can use quickmask to paint the selection On 7/30/07, David Gowers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 7/30/07, DJ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > This gives me a solid 1 pixel left, right, bottom and an anti-aliased > > lower left and right corner. > > > > I probably created 5 more steps than necessary :-).
