Rounded Corner Action for Photographers

DSC_0219

A long time ago I used to round the corners on all the pictures that I posted on my blog. I created a photoshop action to simplify the process and I shared that action online with my photographer friends. It worked great on my computer but a lot of people had problems with it – and they emailed me about it (constantly). So I remade the action and simplified it . However, the original action set contained an option to also draw a black line around the image. The remade action did not have that option, so now I get emails about that. So I have remade the action and I am introducing it here for a 3rd time (3rd times a charm right?). This time I have had it tested and I know it works!

This action will round the corners on pre-cropped images at the following crop ratios 5×7, 8×10, and 8×12. Please note that you need to crop your image to the desired ratio at 300 dpi BEFORE you run the action. Otherwise you image may end up a little squished or stretched out. Also included is a rounded corner action that will add a black line around your image first.  So you will end up with an image that looks like this.

If you don’t want to use the image on a white background you can simply run the action, go into the history and back up 3 steps and select a background color of your choice.

This action is supported on the following formats:
PSE 6, PSE 7, PSCS2, PSCS3, PSCS4

    I just downloaded your rounded corners and want to thank you so much. What a great action, and something that I have wanted to do, but have not taken the time to learn how to do. Just wanted to tell you how nice it is that you shared them, and especially with PSE. Thank you SO very much!
    Oh, and I love those chunky crayons…my kiddos had the rectangle ones when they were little and they are now 23 and 26….and I am still saving them. ENJOY these years, they fly by.
    Thanks again.
