I hope I can explain this. My knowledge of Photoshop terms isn’t the greatest.

When I create text and I want that text to have a border around it (or beneath it on another layer- like the text is on top of a similarly shaped plaque.) I use the old – SELECT > MODIFY > EXPAND. This works great with the only problem being that the corners of the outside border look chopped off a bit. Like they have been snipped into little slanted cuts. So the expanded text shape doesn’t perfectly follow the shape of the original text.

Question: Is there any way I can keep the corners rounded and not have the annoying corner snips. I tried Select-Modify -Expand- SMOOTH, but that starts to distort the expanded text shape too much. Thanks for any help. Holly
