I know most of the information is hard to read but it was mostly the idea that was important. Working on better images.

Oh and I got the images off some Audi S4 webpage and the origanal pictures are not mine. So thanks to whoever took the pictures.

That's all.

Create the square as a selection (or make a selection out of whatever it is you want to round off), feather it (the amount of feather will determine how much it's rounded off), then save your selection into a new alpha channel. Deselect (ctrl+D). You'll have a blurred black-and-white version of your square. Then open the levels palette (ctrl+L) and pull the two end sliders toward the middle. How close they are will make it more or less anti-aliased. Pulling the three sliders left or right of the middle will make the selection smaller or larger. Once you got the desired roundedness and anti-aliasing, load the channel as a selection and fill it in a layer.
Sounds complicated, but it's actually really fast once you get your settings in place.
Note that if you want to make "concentric" squares (e.g. black square, white border, then black border/stroke), you can dupicate the blurred channel (so you have the same amount of feathering) and make squares of different sizes <i>with the same roundedness</i> by offsetting the three levels sliders left or right of the middle.
HTH! Let me know if you need more help with the levels palette.
