Adobe Photoshop or Elements Tip of the Week:
Marqeeing Time
The Marquee tools in Photoshop and PSE allow you to create rectangular, square, circular and elliptical selections. Find the Marquee Tools by pressing the letter M on your keyboard or locating the Marquee tool icon near the top of the Toolbar.
When you are using the Rectangular Marquee tool, holding the Shift key gives you a perfectly square selection. Holding the Alt key (Mac: Opt key) forces the Marquee tool to draw from the center outward.
So holding the Shift + Alt keys (Mac: Shift + Opt keys) draws a perfect square from the center outward. Be sure to hold the shift key before pressing the Alt (Opt) key.
In Photoshop, holding the Shift key with the Elliptical Marquee tool gives you a perfect circle selection. Holding the Alt key (Mac: Opt key) forces the Marquee tool to draw from the center outward.
So Holding the Shift + Alt keys (Mac: Shift + Opt keys) draws a perfect circle from the center outward.
Have a great week and we'll see you at DesignerDigitals!
