Nevyn907 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Hi Folks, Have been struggling with a wee problem so I am coming to you for help. I have a jpg image that I want to round the corners on image1. When I select the cornering tool the options for the edge are grayed out. I tried going into Photo and using smooth rounded the corners fine however the background could be seen. image2. These images are to be used as backgrounds to add text to. Please help.

thatGuy Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 You can't directly round the corners of an image/pixel layer, however you could use an artboard to do so. As for 'background is visible" ... Do you mean opaque white corners instead of transparent? If yes, this is due to jpg format which doesn't save opacity/transparency values, png for example would keep the corners transparent. 2020-09-24 11-46-36.mp4 Nevyn907 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted September 24, 2020 Staff Share Posted September 24, 2020 Hi @Nevyn907 Another option here is to clip the image into a rectangle, then use the Corner Tool to adjust the rectangle, as shown in the below recording! (This can be done in Photo or Designer ) 2020-09-24 10-58-22.mp4 Nevyn907 1 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

GarryP Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) In addition to the advice above, if you want the corners ‘slightly rounded’ (as in your initial example), you can put the image inside a rounded rectangle which is itself inside a rectangle, see attached image (and document). slightly-rounded-corners.afdesign Edited September 24, 2020 by GarryP Added example document.

Patrick Bell Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Use an artboard? How? I actually want to curve the bottom of an image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Can you explain – preferably with a visual example – what you mean by “curve the bottom of an image”? (I can think of a few different results so more information would be useful.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curve the bottom of an image is a vague description. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bell Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Granted. Convex is what I want to achieve. In coreldraw I would just convert to curves and double click to add a node. But there seems nothing intuitive that will enable me to do anything but resize or crop an image. Node, corner tools do nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on a Pixel layer but you can do it starting with an Image Layer 2 hours ago, Patrick Bell said: In coreldraw I would just convert to curves and double click to add a node. You can convert an Image Layer to a Curve and the Node & Corner Tools then become active There are various way to first "convert" your Pixel layer to an Image Layer, from which you can then convert to curves just like Coreldraw Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine.
