I have an image that I am trying to crop that has rounded corners. How can I crop to accomodate the rounded corners and not have the extra white space on each corner?

Thanks.

...a photoshop image will always have straight sides, unless you position it in a layout application (indesign, quark or illustrator for example), inside a rounded clipping path or rounded frame...

...in photoshop, a background is either transparent, or colored, but regardless of that the images will always have cornered edges...

...first either hold down alt/option and double click the layer that says background, to make it a layer...

...or double click layer and click OK, same result...

...if you now select the white border with the magic wand tool and hit delete you will have a transparent background...

...however it is still technically still a square image with a transparent background...
