I am having trouble rounding the edges of a pic. I would like to make it look like the corners of a credit card. I have received recommendations such as:
1. Open up your pic. Make sure it is not your background (either duplicate it or double-click it to create "Layer 0").
2. Select your rounded rectangle tool. On the tool palette, it is in the series of tools underneath the text tool. At the top of of your screen will be an option that says "Radius." This will control how sharp the corners are. Good settings range from 20 – 50 px (but ultimately depend on the size of your pic.).
3. Draw a rectangle over your image.
4. On the layers palette, ctrl+click (or cmd+click on Mac) on the thumbnail of the rectangle, making sure to select the thumbnail to the right of the link icon (this is the mask).
5. Once this selection is loaded, click back on your original pic on your layers palette. Then click the "add vector mask" icon at the bottom of the layers palette (it looks like a circle within a rectangle).
6. Trash your vector rectangle shape layer and voila! Rounded corners on your pic!
BUT, my layers aren’t visible on the right of the window as they are at my home computer. How can I make those visible and are the above instructions right?
Thanks for the help!
