Doc,
Thanks for your attempt to help me I do appreciate it. I found a way to do what I needed and it was very simple. I am not trying to say you don’t know what you are doing, but I am going to tell you how I did it in case this is a way you are not aware of.
take your marquee tool and make a rectangle on your image.
click on "select" >"modify">"smooth" enter 16 in the dialog box then "enter"
Then I just cut and pasted in a new file and got my image with rounded edges.
just goes to show you there are so many different ways of doing things in Photoshop…..lol how are we to learn 🙂
Thanks again for your help

Thanks for your response but your directions do not work for me, maybe you left out some steps.

I have a image that I want to use as part of a header, I would like
the
top
right and left corners to be rounded.
I can find all kinds of tutorials for rounding corners but they do not
start
with a image. Most of them tell you to draw shapes..I did that and
then
tried to fill it with my image as a pattern but that didn’t work cause
it
tiled.
Would appreciate some help
Thanks in advance
I’ll assume you’re a beginner and are using this for the web. I don’t actually do web graphics but this should be pretty easy. Open your
image.
Go
into Quick mask mode (hit q key). Take your eliptical marquee tool and (holding down the shift key to keep it round) draw a circle in the 1st corner. If you hold down the space bar at the same time you can slide it around to place it before you release the mouse. Make sure it touches
both
edges. Fill it with black. Use the move (v key) tool with the alt key pressed to duplicate it. Click and slide it into the opposite corner.
Use
the magic wand (w key) to select the remaining area. Fill it with black
too.
Exit quick mask (q). You should see the "marching ants" in the corners.
Open
layers (I assume you only have one layer, else flatten them) and double click on the background layer. Layer 0, OK. Hit the delete key to remove your pointy corners. Deselect (Ctrl D). File / Save for Web. Select GIF
and
check off Transparency. You can play with the settings to make the image size smaller, matte the same colour as your page etc. That should do it. Good luck…
