I would like to have a round cornered hexagon, but i don't know how to do it in GIMP 2.8. I know how to do a hexagon, but not a round cornered one. Is it even possible?

One way to get a selection with rounded corners (any shape) is to create the selection n
pixels smaller than you need, then use "Grow selection" to enlarge it by n
pixels. The corners will then all have radius n
.

1Awesome! Just would like to add that if "creating the selection" is troublesome then like one can simply select the Fuzzy Select Tool to select the region of interest and then do Shrink selection by
n
pixels before doing Grow selection byn
pixels again. Thanks again :)– GaganSep 13, 2017 at 15:20
Just in case someone finds this question 8 years later like I did: another way to do it is go to Select -> Rounded Rectangle, then choose rounding radius in %

Worked for me. If there were a way to round by pixel quantity rather than percentage, this would be perfect. Mar 21 at 18:23
