Cool. I just noticed one little detail about it. The lefthand side of 
your rollover images is missing the highlighting stripe. Just so you 
know.

Assuming that you're talking about putting those rounded edges on 
photographs, look into "Masks" and the "Paste Inside" tool. Depending 
on how many images there are, I would probably use the "Paste Into" 
tool. In Fireworks, you create rectangle with rounded corners, adjust 
the corners to the appropriate radius (whether you decide to use the 
same percentage for each picture or a fixed arc size), then paste your 
image inside that rectangle.

The thing to remember is that once you've pasted the image inside the 
rectangle, you can't adjust the radius of the corners anymore.

Also bear in mind that you should perform this operation on the same 
background color on which the image will be displayed, due to anti-
aliasing.

HTH,
