ADD BORDERS : YES, (PSP 7). But : I would like a ROUNDED rectangle as border...

Hi,

creating a new image in PSP 7 it's possible to say ADD BORDERS, and have a
nice black border around your picture.
Trouble is I would like to do the same for a picture with a ROUNDED
rectacle...
I cut pictures sometimes with the selection tool, but using the ROUNDED
rectacle or a star, or circle,
and then I would like also to add a border to that selection or new image.
Trouble is I always got a streight rectangle...
Is it possible with not too much work ?

After you have cut to a rounded retangle using the rounded rectangle
selection tool save the selection to alpha or disc . Add the borders
symmetric checked. Then load the selection that you saved expand by the same
amount as you did for the border and then remove the unwanted corners. Now
the catch 22 images have to be square or rectangle as that's the shape of
pixels so you have to kid the viewer that you have a rounded corner by
adding a layer underneath the image that is the same colour as the page it
will be displayed on
