I make round corner images in GIPM but when I save them they are still square corners. What am I supposed to do?

Thanks a lot to all - Inkscape and GIMP rock :)

What format are you using and what exactly do you mean by rounded images, a mask?

I am not that expert at GIMP.

This is the situation: 1 have a jpg image and I want that to have round corners. How can I do that after I have imported that in gimp or have opened that in gimp?

Thanks very much!

Just create a selection and added rounded corners in the tool options. Right click the image layer and Add Mask Layer and select 'Selection' from the options window.
