The filter rounds the corners of the image, though it remains rectangular because any<br />

raster image may be rectangular-shaped. Nevertheless, visually we will see roundshaped<br />

corners.<br />

How to use this filter?<br />

1. Open an image.<br />

2. Choose FiltersDecorRound Corners command. Once the Script-Fu: Round<br />

Corners dialog box opens, set the following parameters<br />

Edge radius – set the level of rounding the corner. The higher the value, the<br />

larger the rounding;<br />

If checked, the Add drop-shadow checkbox adds a shadow to the image;<br />

Shadow X offset – specify the size of the shadow according the horizontal axis at<br />

the bottom of the image;<br />

Shadow Y offset – specify the size of the shadow according the vertical axis on<br />

the right of the image;<br />

Blur radius – the higher the value, the larger the dropping shadow;<br />

If checked, the Add background checkbox adds a background layer behind the<br />

round corners of such a colour which is set as a background colour; though the<br />

corners are rounded, the image remains rectangular-shaped;<br />

If checked, the Work on copy checkbox specifies that the filter is applied to the<br />

copy of the image and a new file is created after the filter is applied;<br />

3. Once all parameters are set, press OK;<br />

TASK. Apply the Round corners filter to image bor_1.jpg that would round image<br />

corners, where the edge radius equals to 160 and drops the shadow equal to 80 the<br />

size of which according to the horizontal and vertical axis equals to 50 and a yellow<br />

background would be seen behind the round corners. The image to which the filter is<br />

applied has to be placed in a separate file.<br />

Round Corners dialog box;<br />
