ok... Well without knowing WHAT your rounding lol, I have a couple
suggestions.
1) Create a new layer on the top of your group. (You should have 2 or
3, background [or none], picture, and a blank layer) go to your image
layer and use the wand to select around your image and inverse the
selection (ctrl + shift + i). Go into your blank layer and fill it
with any color. Now get rid of your selection (ctrl + D) and create
Guides around your filled object. Now hide your Image and the filled
layer and use the rounded rectangle tool to fill the area inside the
guides (make sure you remember to select your radius for your corners
on the top toolbar). The color of the new object wont matter. Now with
that done, right click on the new layer (its currently a vector mask)
and select rasterize layer. Hide that layer and pop on back to your
other filled object and use the Polygonal Lasso tool to make a
selection around the corner that will be rounded and delete whats
inside it. Now make both those filled objects visible and depending on
your version of photoshop either: shift + select both layers, right
click and select merge layers, OR link the layers together, go to your
layer options and choose merge linked. Now use your wand tool to
select around the new merged object (don't inverse it this time), hide
it, make the picture visible and just delete. There you go, and Image
with One Rounded corner in 20 seconds.
2) Now Instead of selecting around your merged image and deleting
parts of the photo itself, bring the photo to the top of the layers.
And depending on version, Right click and select Create Clipping mask,
or go to menu> layers> create clipping mask. This makes the underlying
image like a frame, you can move your picture above it (or multiple
pictures if you make all layers above it clipping masks) around and it
will not show anything outside of your new box.
3) Ok, now for a simpler way. Create Guides around your photo. Select
the Eliptical Marquee Tool and start a selection oval in the corner
you want rounded. (Hold shift to restrain it). after your radius is to
taste, select the Polygonal Lasso tool and while holding shift start
at the top of your Circle and trace around your photo or guides to the
other side of the circle keeping your radius selection in tact and
close your selection by double clicking your dragging by the start
point of your lasso selection. Now inverse selection and delete your
corner. Easy.
Well, hope that helped. ^.^
