Noob Photoshop Question

[BBx]

Hello I have recently discovered that you should draw shapes in PS using the dotted line tool and not the solid tool :/

I need a rounded rectangle - but just the line and not the fill and there is not a dotted line icon for this - only a square rectangle.

Please help :(

What version of photoshop are you using?

Not sure but this (http://www.tutorio.com/tutorial/photoshop-round-corners) might help

CS2 Version 9

Photoshop Rounded Corners with the Selection Tool

This is probably the simplest method for getting rounded selections, in photoshop.

Simply draw out a rectangular selection with the marquee tool
Then goto Select->Modify->Smooth. Then set the radius size depending on how round you want the corners in the selection to be.

You aren't limited to just drawing a plain rectangle with the marquee tool, the same technique also works with more complex shapes

Thats the one :) thanks!

Leo - how do you use this site?

I have a logo, but I need to make it look 'fast' and I need to make it lean forwards... do you know if there are any tips on here?

Select the bit you want to 'lean', hit ctrl T and then along the top will be a button that lets you skew the selection by grabbing the corners or edges. You should be able to figure it out from there yourself.

As Divine says you want to try edit->transform->skew :)

I'd normally have checked exactly what the options you wanted were but I don't have it installed to look atm! :p

haha luckily I have CS3 installed on this machine so could check :)
