A newbie photoshop question for the gurus: |
|
I'm using Elements 3.0 & want to draw an ellipse around something in a picture to highlight some text and icons.
I've been surfing for about 45 minutes & am getting pretty frustrated. Can anyone point me to a web site or 'splain how to in a few simple sentences?
Thanks.

Use the ellipse selection tool, go to edit menu, go to "stroke" and tell it how many pixels you want the width. Be sure and set your foreground color to the color you want before you apply the stroke.
This info is from PhotoShop, but I'm sure you can do the same thing in Elements.

4. It was the stroke settings that did the trick. |
