    Photoshop help

    Can anyone make me a square in photoshop with rounded corners and let me have the .psd

    Have been trying all day but can't do it. Need a very light grey or even slightly transparent to put over an existing photo.

    Thanks in advance.

          No offence man but what happens when you need a different shape.

          1: open photoshop
          2: create a new psd
          3: click and hold the square tool (different tools will pop open)
          4: select rounded rectangle tool
          5: click and drag on the white area to draw your rounded square
          6: make sure the square layer is selected and click on opacity
          (its in the layers box at the top right side) then change the transparency to whatever you like.
          7: do a happy dance
          8: see the radius option above the canvas? The bigger the radius the larger the corners.

              I spent more time making the tutorial than making the box. You must learn it!

                Ok barcodes, I very rarely make graphics, my skills lie elsewhere. If no one will make me one I'll get a designer to do it.

                Thought I'd ask here first.

                  I will send you a 50% transparent grey rounded box and you can do whatever you need to do to it.

                        It only takes like 20 sec to make it. I thought the guy was interested in how to make it so I wrote it out for em but maybe hes frustrated from trying or just can't/doesn't want to do it. If he goes to a designer that doesn't know him hell get fucked over or no one would do it cause what can you really charge for that? I had Photoshop open from the screenshots so I might as well help the guy out.That being said he just asked for a grey box so I will let him work on the rest of it on his own.

                          Yep, no prob.
                          Im sending it now.

                          I know you don't want to learn this but I will share one last thing that may be useful for you. See the shape 1 layer on the right with the grey box in front of it? If you double click the grey box you can change the color of the rounded box to a more preferable shade f grey.

                          Best of luck
