Re: [Gimp-user] rounded corners on jpg image.
Quoting John R. Culleton [EMAIL PROTECTED]: have a jpg image that is in rectangular form. I would like to round the corners off symmetrically to soften the shape a bit. Which is the quickest way to to this? The quickest way is to: * Select all * Perform a Rounded rectangle (I think you will find this on the Select menu, but on previous GIMP versions it may be under Script-fu-Selection) * Invert the selection * Fill with a background color (JPEGs do not support transparent areas, therefore you have to choose a specific color for the corners) If you would prefer to have the corners match the background of whereever the image is to appear (on a webpage, for example), you will have to use the PNG format (GIFs will work, too; but will have ugly edges). Change the last step above to: * Perform a Layer-Transparency-Add alpha channel and then an Edit-Clear If you *have* to use JPEG format, I would recommend that you place a border around your image: * Select all * Perform a Rounded rectangle (I think you will find this on the Select menu, but on previous GIMP versions it may be under Script-fu-Selection) * Create a new transparent layer. Increase this layer's boundary size by the amount of border you think will look good. Use the Center option when resizing the layer * Perform an Image-Fit canvas to layers * Invert the selection * Fill with a border color ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
