Scorpion... I'm not really sure where you are getting stuck. I have done up to step 3 (haven't gone onto part 2 yet), and I don't seem to be having any problems. These are my screen shots of each of the steps. Could you maybe be a bit more specific with the problems you are having, or what steps you are actually making, cause mine seems to be ok, and I'm not sure what you have done.

Hopefully, someone else might be able to help you just by looking at your pic, but I am at a loss at the moment.

Sorry :{

There is a few ways to make a round edges , and this one is very simple:
Make a selection of your shape and open selection>modify>smoth and
enter a number as you want ( I ussed 10), then press Ctr/Shift/I and press delite.
Voila!

Another very easy way is : make a selection of your shape and in Channel Palette open a new channel and fill your selection with white.
Press Ctrl+A to select all. Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur set it to 5 and
click OK. If you want edges more rounded increase the number.
Go to Image>adjustment>levels and move the input levels to 120, 1.0 and 140. Press OK! That is it.
