 00pht05 Basic Photoshop Techniques

These are the first, and second, in this series of Basic Photoshop tutorials I have planned. I will only continue if I get some positive feedback from people, though, so send me some e-mail and let me know what else you’d like to see here.


Shapes
This tutorial will show you how to create shapes in Photoshop. I used Photoshop 4.0 for Windows. Some things may be done differently with other versions.
Shapes are easy to create in Photoshop. The process is not obvious, though.
Open a new graphic. Choose the selection tool and draw a shape. I’ve drawn a circle00pht01 Basic Photoshop Techniques
Choose Edit,Stroke. This will bring up the Stroke dialog box 00pht02 Basic Photoshop Techniques
In this dialog box you can choose the width of the line you want and where the line should be placed. I chose 5 for the width and Center for the placement. This yielded the circle.00pht03 Basic Photoshop Techniques

Once I had the shape I wanted I added the chrome effect, the lettering and the blue logo.
All of this started out with a couple of basic shapes, though icon smile Basic Photoshop Techniques
