Re: Design Challenge -- Round Corner mask on images

Oh, I understand -- I'm just saying a graphic + backPattern may be a good option because you have control over the shape (the roundRadius of the corners be changed), the radius will auto-scale across different screen sizes, and you don't have to pre-process all the images with rounded corners. Reg

Re: Design Challenge -- Round Corner mask on images

Jacque's backPattern idea is an option purely for masking images as well, though you're more limited using that option. The image and graphic need to be the same height, and you need to have "extra" image on the left side so you can crop off the rounded corners on the left. The advantage of that
