Simple question that I can't find the answer to.

I have a layer with a photo that I got off the internet. I want this layer to have rounded corners. So I draw a rectangle with rounded corners in photoshop. Just like the color is linked to the vector mask (that is the rounded corner rectangle), I would think I can link the layer to the vector mask. However, after all my research I cannot find how. Can anybody help link a layer to a vector mask/shape?

Its easy, called Clipping Mask.

Just put your "photo" layer on top of the "rounded corner" rectangle layer, in the layers panel (F7). Right-click on the "photo" layer, select "Create Clipping Mask".

EDIT

From this link, I'm summarizing the steps

Assuming you have a new document created, import the photo layer into Photoshop.
Create a new layer below photo layer, in layers panel (F7).
Draw rectangle by selecting "rounded corner" option, inside "shape" tool. Specify radius.
Place both layers in same area on canvas.
Right-click on photo layer (in layers panel), select "Create Clipping Mask" option.

..and you are done!

put your photo layer under your triangle and then just in between the two layers click whilst holding alt. This will use the rectangle as the frame of the image (I think is called clipping mask)
