Resizing Rounded Rectangles in Photoshop
In the past, I’ve always dreaded working with rounded rectangles in Photoshop, because they’re just so annoying to resize. If you try to change the object’s height or width, it distorts the corners, making things look pretty bad. Today, I found a way to resize them using the direct selection tool, and it has already made my life a whole lot easier. Check out the screencast I put together to find out how.

Kyle, great tip! I was never really aware of the Direct Selection Tool in Photoshop, I have used it quite a bit in Illustrator. Thanks for sharing!
