can you make a shape in photoshop that has right angular corners and then round the corners afterwards, like in illustrator? i know the round corners rectangular tool, but i have to make a complex shape that has the same radius and every angle and would be a bitch to do by hand...

that's "same radius at every angle"

Don't think so, its just layers not paths. Can't you draw in illu first?

if it's at all possible it's going to have to be a shape in PS and then you're going to have to export that path to Ai. then modify it in Ai.
You're better off just starting in Ai and doing it all in Ai

yeah...prob the best way, was just wondering if it could be done in PS

You can fake this by doing the squared off shape you want, then making a copy of the layer content as a channel, guassian blurring it, then fiddling with the Levels to remove extraneous greys. Et voila, an equally-rounded image.
- wow, that sounds like alot of unnecessary work. and then it'll be raster. what's the point?anxiousarms
- He wants in PS, I gave him a solution, so fucking what?Nairn
- this would be muffed if it needed a stroke?linearch

create the shape in illustrator
copy it
paste it into photoshop
choose shape layer as the paste option that pops up- that's an answer to a different question. not this one.anxiousarms
- if the need is to have the shape as a vector in PS, why doesn't this work?ninjasavant

As far as I know PS doesn't have the same feature to 'make round corners' on paths like Illustrator does, but you can take a path drawn in Illustrator and drop it into PS as a path, or, you could draw your path in PS, make a selection with it, then 'smooth' selection (off the top of my head can;t remember if that is under filter menu or elsewhere) and it will round off the corners depending on what pixel count you set it to.
The other way would be paths -> selection -> quickmask, then Gaussian blur the quick mask and use levels to make it hard-edged again before coming back out of quickmask to a selection, then make path, then make tea, then make love, then make a sandwich, then make a smell.
- Oh, like Nairn said up there.Horp
- It's the old-school way, damn what these tech-spoilt whippersnappers think!Nairn

if its a flat logo or something graphic i sometimes gaussian blur for a round effect and then adjust contrast to bring it back to a hard line.
won't be as precise as AI though.
