Icon question; the corners?

I see that icons should be 512x512. I think we all know the importance of having a cool game icon with respect to SALES.

I see that the corners are rounded. Should I draw a square icon? Does Apple cut off/round the corners for me?

I'm a little confused as to the best way to draw the icon...

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Yeah, Dr. G, just do a 512*512 square image, but remember that the corners will be clipped off by Apple. You can also choose later whether to use Apple's glossy icon overlay effect.

    DrGlickert if you want to create 480x480 size curve square inside 512x512 square use 96 px radius and it will looks perfect after apple convert into curve icon. Use can use 512x512 size square with same 96 px
