Please find attached some images that are part of my website.

These three images have a curved effect that I want to recreate when I upload new images to replace them.

Can someone please advise me what programme I need or how to do it, so when I upload the new images it will look correct.

Thanks for your help

I'd bet you could find a Photoshop action to do that for you very easily? I just spent a moment trying, and honestly it's a little harder than it looks. I would think the rectangular selection tool would have a "rounded corners" option, but it doesn't seem to.

Very easy. Create 2 rounded rectangles and position them like this:


Then just get the intersection of the 2. To do this in Fireworks you click Modify > Combine Paths > Intersect. You then have the following shape:

With this, you can copy your photo and then select the intersection and 'paste inside' to get this:

Or after overlapping the two rounded rectangles, transfer that shape to the alpha channel so it becomes a protection mask. They load your image into the brush as a custom brush, set its size and position and click to stamp where you want it. Only the parts inside the alpha mask will show.

This technique would be what I'd try with Project Dogwaffle (www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle) even with the freeware version

Ack.. you don't even need to go that far. Create a clipping mask in PS, or use a vector mask and you're done in a snap.
