I need an easier way to resize a tab background for use in css+xhtml without having to recreate each time I resize.

The problem is that if I need to resize the tab width, I have to re-do the entire tab creation. Is there a way to simply edit the selection after resizing? I've been doing the following:

1) three layers filled with: bg color, border color, fg color 2) create rounded selection (25% radius) 3) select border color layer, invert and clear 4) select fg color layer, shrink selection by 1, invert and clear 5) save as .png.

the problem is I have to redo all this if I resize the image.

What if you add 2b) save selection as channel? Then you can scale the image and reload the selection from the channel...

if i save selection to channel how will it be effected when I resize? ie - different radius on corners, or different aliasing? (I noticed this problem when I simply resized the image after it was rendered).

3) select border color layer, invert and clear 4) select fg color layer, shrink selection by 1, invert and clear 5) save as .png.

I may have misunderstood the question - let me know if this isn't helpful...

The channel is scaled with the image - I'm guessing (now) that you want to scale/skew the image and leave the selection intact?

Right, same rounded corners, just not as wide.
