ROUNDED CORNERS
for photoshop users

first thing you need to do, is open your image you want to make the “edges” round.

now zoom > “fit to screen.” to zoom, select the magnifying class icon, and right click on the image and select “fit to screen.”

once you do that, use the rounded “rectangular tool” and select “paths”, and set the radius to 10-30, or what ever you like.

start at the top-left corner of your image, and drag all the way to the bottom-right of your image.

once you do that, on your littler dock, select the “paths” tab. and press the rounder dotted circle. a selection should come up.

now, on the top of your menu, you should see file, edit, etc…. click the select > select inverse.

you should see the selection inverse, now, press backspace, and it should be gone! (make sure your background color is set to white).

there!!! i hope this helps. note: there are more ways to do this, im just showing you how i do it.

9.11.2009 | Screen Capturing">Screen Capturing

First step to screen capturing, is to pick something you want to take a Print Screen of. (layout previews, certain comments, recent layouts, etc..)

look on your keyboard and find the Print Screen or Prt Scr key. (it should be located near top right of the keyboard)
mac users press : Apple-Shift-3, or Command-Shift-3

after you press that key, open a picturing editing software (MS Paint, Photoshop, etc..)

press Ctrl + V, or edit paste. crop or leave as. then save the file as a .PNG (so it will look nice), name the document, and upload it to photobucket or somewhere :)

hope this helps!
