CIRCLES AND SQUARES

In the vertical tool bar on the left side of the screen you will see a Rectangular looking icon. Hold the mouse button down on this, you will see another sub-tool bar pop out. Drag over to the Circular Marquee and let go of the mouse. If you want to make a square, then just click on the Rectangular Marquee instead.

Hold down the Shift key and move the mouse pointer over to your work area. Now press and hold the mouse button and drag out a circle (Sense you held the shift key, it will make a perfect round circle or square for you). When you have the size you like, Let go of the mouse button and shift key.

Now lets fill our circle with some color. Look for the Swatches pallet on the screen, it will look something like the picture I have. Go over to it with the mouse and select a color, I choose blue ( if you don't see the swatches, then go to Window>Show Swatches.

Click on the Paint Bucket in the tool bar on the left. Now click inside the circle you made to fill it in with color.

Deselect our circular selection by holding down Ctrl - D. You are now finished with your circle.
