I made a rounded rectangle and applied a colour gradient fill and stroke. Is it possible to alter the corner radius without having to create a new shape? I can’t see any options to alter this.

The shape has not been rasterized at this point.

Unfortunately, no–although, you can delete just the path (vector mask) and create the new path (shape) using the existing vector mask.

Do the colours and stroke options then need to be applied manually after the new shape is created?

I presume I could just save the colour gradient style then apply from the list after creating a new shape?

You presume correctly.

It’s things like the issue you originally asked about (changing the corner radius) which make Illustrator the better choice for vector work.

I take it you don’t have Illustrator?

Hi yes I bought the whole CS2 package so I do have it. I guess it makes sense to draw the shape in Illustrator then embed in PS as a smart object and add colour? At least then Illustrator can easily amend the corner radius which then refreshes in Photoshop. Or is there an even easier way…?
