Rounded Table Edges in 3 Easy Steps Difficulty: Very Easy - Easy Skill Level: Basic Time Req: 2-3 Minutes Credits: Matt Jacob (squage)   Step 1 ------------ Start with a new document, and make it the width of your table. I started with 400x40, but of course, you can change it to suit your needs.   Step 2 ------------ Make a new layer. This is where your bar will go. Now make a perfectly round ellipse (circle) by holding holding down shift while dragging the tool. Fill it in with the color you will want your bar to be. I used black, as you can see in this example. Drag a new guide to the middle of your circle. Now drag this layer, which contains the circle, to the to copy the layer. Go to your new layer and drag a guide to the middle of that circle, also.   Step 3 ------------ This step gets a little tricky, so pay close attention. Click on the layer that your second circle is in, and press CTRL+E to combine both of the circle layers into one layer. Now drag guides to the top and bottom of the circles. Make a new rectangle selection between the guides, then press the delete key. Without deselecting, fill the rectangle with black (or your color of choice.) Now you should see what I have to the left. It looks like a giant pill-shaped button. Clear all the current guides by selecting it from the View menu. Drag a new guide to the horizontal half of the pill, and then make a rectangle selection from the top of the image to the guide. Press CTRL+SHIFT+I to invert the selection. Now press the delete key. This will leave you with the part of the image that you want selected, and now you're done.   Finishing Up: ------------ As you can see, I made my edge to use with a black table and a white background. This is the bar in its most basic form. You can change colors or add text to your heart's content, but the basic tutorial stays the same.   =====END=====   http://www.keeperzone.com === My Website
