you can try creating a rounded rectangle, then select another tool, reselct the rectangle tool, remove the rounded corner, and then hand add the corners using an added rectangle for each of the other 3 corners (if that makes sense)

Newbie question here... I need to create some simple filled rectangles however with a single corner being rounded and transparent so background shows through the rounded part of the corner. I found some tutorials to round all corners but not just the one corner...

I tried creating a rectangle, filling it with color then using an eraser but it wasn't transparent.
I also tried selecting just the corner I wanted to round and using shrink/grow but that just didnt work.

I am sure it can be done simply but I just don't have the experience/knowledge on how to do it...

Thanks for any pointers Rich

Your layer should have an alpha channel to handle transparencies. Right clic on the layer/add alpha channel

- New image

- Filters→Decor→Rounded Corners

- (Perhaps delete the drop shadow and the new transparent background, Image→Fit to layers)

- Fill/paint over the three corners you don't want

- Image→Scale Canvas to whatever size you want

Your layer needs an alpha channel. Right-click the layer and add alpha channel (not sure why it's called "add alpha channel" instead of "enable transparency"...). Rounded Corners adds an alpha channel automatically though.
