Photoshop: Empty selection with smooth rounded edges
Posted on 06. Jun, 2009 by Dragos in Design, Photoshop
In this tutorial we’ll try to create an empty rectangle selection and to add smooth edges to it.
There are several methods to accomplish this task, but only one of them worked best in my case.
This is what we are trying to create:
Now how to do it?
[ad]
Step 1: Select the rounded rectangle tool
Step 2: Select ‘Paths’
Step 3: Draw a rectangle
Click and drag to draw a rectangle with your preferred size.
Step 4: Make a selection from your rectangle path
Right click on your just drawn rectangle and select ‘Make selection’.
Now a popup window will show up asking you for some values. Make sure that ‘Rendering’->’Feather radius: is set to 0 and ‘Rendering’->’Anti-aliased’ and ‘Operation’->’New Selection’ are checked. Click ok.
Step 5: Select the selection tool
Step 6: Stroke your selection
Now right click on your rectangle selection tool and select ‘Stroke’. In the popup window set your preferred values. I suggest you choose the location of the stroke to be ‘Inside’, because if you choose the other values your rectangle will slightly expand. Click ‘Ok’.
That’s all! You have just created an empty rectangle with smooth edges. This technique can be applied to any path shape, beginning with step 4.
