Help with corners

hello all,

Here is a question that for all of you experts, I'm certain has a very simple solution.

How do I quickly and easily create rounded corners for rectangular shapes?

Please take a look at this website (not mine):

http://www.lloydspharmacy.com/wps/portal

The bottom corners of the welcome area, the top and bottom of the lefthand navigation area, the online store bar, and more, each have rounded corners.

Not having very much knowledge of photoshop, I am totally baffled as to how this effect can be created.

Lets take the bottom of the welcome area, for instance.

Would I just create a rectangular bar the same width as the welcome area, for arguments sake 450px by 30px, which would have square corners, and then edit the lefthand end to form a quarter circle? Or would I create a rectangular bar the same height as the welcome area, for arguments sake 180px by 30px, which again would have square corners, and then edit the bottom end to form a curve. Would this be the way I'd do it? Would either method work? Or, is there an easier way?

More to the point, how do I edit the corner to create the curve?

Once created, how would I add the curved corner strip to my welcome area?

Can anyone tell me if a similar effect is achieveable in Paint Shop Pro, as I am more familiar with how to use this.

Re: Help with corners

there are many methods of rounded corners, you can even get away without using images for them.
Just choose one you think will suit your design.
