if I have a square picture, what is the easiest/best way to round the corners using fireworks MX?

Does it have a Rounded Rectangle tool?

Photoshop does.. hmm.

But other than that, I can't think of any quick and easy ways to do it.

However.. in Photoshop, I can select the rectangle or square then use a menu command to round out the selection and inverse it then hit delete.
Maybe that'll work in fireworks too..

what menu command do you use to round out the selection?

In FireWorks:

Drag the 'rounded rectangle tool [u]' from the 'vector' menu with 100% white fill (anything else will get you less than 100% ) over the image (picture). Adjust the rounded rectangle for position and roundness of corner etc.

Then select both image and rectangle and in the main top menu select: Modify > Mask > Group as Mask.

You will be left with your picture with curved corners.

You can also see you can do this with any other shape you care to make.
