Photoshop 7 Curved Lines

Hey people,

I'm making a website template in photoshop and when trying to make a curved box for the banner using the "Polygonal Lasso Tool" with Feather set to 10px. Howeber when i fill the area i get it fading at the edges when i jsut want sharp edges. I have taken a screenshot in the link below:

If someone could help me that would be great.

Hi, RossM. Well that is what feathering does...It fades it out. In order to make rounded corners try using channels instead like ie in this tutorial: http://www.absolutecross.com/tutorials/photoshop/interfaces/round-edges/

Or the selection tool in this tutorial: http://user.fundy.net/morris/photoshop10.shtml

Patric.

The way i do it is:

Take the Rectangular Marquee Tool and make the size of the area you would like the banner to be.

Then go to select > modify > smooth (whilst the area is still selected) and set it to around 5-10 (or more or less depending on how round you want the edges).

Hope this helps, let me know how it goes.
