useing photshop?

if so try this

select all ( ctrl +a )

then go to selections \> mondify \> smooth

then just insert how much u wanna smoothen out the edges (i say at leaste 25 or summit)

then u can simple cut it out or just copy and paste to where ever you want.

there might be a filter which does it as well or sumthing simalre i dunno i dont use filters much. but try that if you got ps

might want to also consider using a mask since its non-destructive (you wont be deleting any of your image so if you change youre mind and want smaller rounded corners, it wouldnt be as hard to change)

its actually insanely easier with Fireworks. If you have that, you might want to use it to add rounded edges instead.

I would recommend a mask. And the paste inside option in FW is much easier.

Uhm maybe he’s talking about the _actual_ edges… and since jpgs don’t support transparency, no can do…
