Once I have created a rounded rectangle, how can I adjust the corner radius without having to start over with a new radius? Can it be changed?
 
You can do it by moving individual points (equal amounts) on the path towards each other with the direct selection tool (white pointer).
 
That's what I have been doing. Thought there might be an easier way similar to what CorelDraw does. Oh well. Thanks.
 
Hi Pixelchik-

I don't know what CorelDraw does, but maybe this will help: as you probably know, the rounded rectangle tool will start drawing with the same corner radius as the last rectangle you made, essentially duplicating it.
Start drawing your shape; keep holding the mouse down, then hit your up or down arrow keys repeatedly, which will change the corner radii right before your eyes; release the mouse once you've got the shape you want. Hope this does the trick for you.

Regards,
Eva
