Thanks for that. I've been trying to figure this thing out for months on and off. Easy to do without the anti-aliasing other ways but this is one sure method to get the job done right.
Thanks again.

Great tutorial, however, you need to make sure that when you create your rounded rectangle that you click the path icon, (icon with the pen inside the shape).

You are the dude!
You made it so easy and simple.. I can’t believe with all the unuseful rubbish in Photoshop they still haven’t worked out a script or filter to do this automatically.
Thanks for saving me time.
By the way in Flash is dead easy to do this with masks. You just create a front layer as a rectangle with rounded corners, select "mask" from its layer properties and put everything else as "masked" beneath. When you play it (or in the swf file), it will show only what’s underneath the mask layer: images, movie clips and so on..
[PS: I am a terrible teacher, but I hope to have been of some help.. you can email me for help]

Hey Thank you very much for blogging about this...

Great help! I have saved your blog to my favourites

If I may suggest a shortcut: Create round corner rectangle of any color under your photo layer. Place cursor exactly between the two layers on layer palette, press ALT and click (option-click on Mac). Done.

I do not understand this part here --> Create a new document, and leave the dimensions alone (they should reflect the copy you just made). In the new document, go to Edit, Paste. There you go! what do you mean when you say document? I don't understand. Can anyone please help me out?

Great tutorial. I've seen several options on how to make rounded corners in Photoshop and so far this is the easiest without sacrificing quality.
I actually saw somewhere that said to just draw a marquee box and choose Smooth - that was ridiculous.

Can anyone help?
I'm using PS CS3, and I get stuck at the following part:
'Back in the Layers palette, click on the Paths tab.'
I then click on 'Paths' and no paths are there? Does anyone know why I'm not seeing anything?
Any help or advice would be most appreiated!

Pete, there should be if you drew the rectangle with the rounded rectangle tool.
