What value of radius did you select? as that's exactly the error I got when I set the radius to 80. It seems to work for me:

I was using 4. I just tried it again using 3 and it worked fine, so I went back to 4 and now that works as well. No clue what happened.

Thanks you so much Kevin, this is exactly what I needed. :yes

depending of what you want to do, you can get a rectangle with rounded corners with the Shape Paths script

Thanks Esper. I am familiar with that script and use it regularly, but it creates paths, where I want to take an existing path and round the hard corners by a specific amount. Rounding the selection from a path was the next best thing and the script that Kevin fixed works great now.

Rounded Selection with a few fixes

1/ works on any selection (text typically 1→20 else 1→100)
2/ If no selection exists, a selection is attempted from alpha channel if one exist,or else it's made of the entire layer size and the corners are rounded.
3/ option to clean up the layer, added as per Molly's suggestion (this also deletes selection)
4/ Menu Location is Select/Rounded Selection

Arial Bold 250px Radius set to 20

What is it supposed to do, I ran it on a selected text and again on a non selected text.
I used 250 and a radius of 20 and it didn't do anything.

Molly you should have been left with a selection as well

I was left with the selection, I just figured it out, I had to invert, then delete and it left the rounded corners

Molly even better is to add a selection mask then delete the selection and fill the text layer with text color

Put this in my scrips folder, and I can't find it anywhere, Only thing under "Selection" is the stock rounded rectangle. Any thoughts?

Refresh your scripts and it should be under a new tab which is "Temp". Hoover to there and you should see "Rounded Selection Corners."

You're very welcome. Graechan, how come mine shows in "Temp", on top, and not in the "Select" option?
