Please help me, this has bothered me for ages!
In order to draw a circle or oval (outline not filled) in photoshop, the only way I can find is to create a marquee, fill it, then create a smaller marquee inside and fill with background colour.
Photoshop is THE tool so I know there is a better way than this but after much searching am unable to find it!
Best regards

Marquee (eliptical)> draw your circle/oval.
Choose Edit then Stroke.
My apologies, there must be something wrong with my eyesight!
It is indeed and it works perfectly.
Sincere thanks!

All my fonts are appearing to be leaning to the right but with the italic turned off. If I turn it on it makes the fonts more italic.
Fonts appear correctly in other applications such as word, so I can only think that there must be a setting somewhere which is making this happen.
There is an option in the character tab, within the extended menu button if thats what it is called (the >) - the option is faux italics!
I guess this is so we can make a font italic where it doesn't have that option available.
Best regards

p.s. next question... WHO TURNED IT ON!
In order to drawHere's where you're getting tripped up. Although Adobe has blurred (no pun intended) many of the capabilities of Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Acrobat with recent releases, they are still different tools with distinct purposes and strengths. We're supposed to use Illustrator to draw, Photoshop to apply rendering and effects to the drawings, InDesign to layout the images and text, and Acrobat to encapsulate, even though you can do all four tasks at a simple level in any one of those applications. :)
Use the right tool for the job! Yes, you can use a hammer to put in a scew, but a screwdriver works a whole lot better.
