- jvzr 13y agoIndeed. For years we had to use workarounds and various cheats. Having different radii was a pain in the ass in PS, but a breeze in FW.
- coldtea 13y agoIt's a breeze in PS now too. Well, that's if you fork for the latest Creative Cloud subscription, or wait for the next boxed version. The upcoming Creative Cloud version, called Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud), finally offers re-adjustable radii (for all corners).

- jvzr 13y ago"now" is decidedly premature. Adobe's announcement yesterday happened after this conversation, and I don't recall them making the new Photoshop available right now. And, seriously, if they have to make it one of the primary features highlighted during their keynote, it's only telling that it's coming very, very late.
- crazygringo 13y agoI can't tell if you're being snarky, or just don't have experience. It's not the creation of rounded rectangles. It's being able to change the radius afterwards (which Photoshop can't do). Also, if you want to change the size of the rectangle later in Photoshop, without distorting the corners, it's not easy -- you have to subselect specific control points, and then move them. It's not impossible in Photoshop, it's just that modifying rounded rectangles is a huge pain.
- ChrisLTD 13y agoI'm not being snarky. Sorry of if it came out that way. You're right, changing the radius is too difficult; I'm just remembering back when creating rounded rectangles was itself a multistep process.
