Hi could anyone help me with another problem please.

I have attached two pics here what i want to do is draw a small circle around the top of the mountain in the first photo (pic1) and then draw a larger circle to the left of it (in the space where the sky is). Within the larger circle I then want to then insert the second photo (pic2 - the one with machinery in it). The idea being to portray this as a close up of the mountain top.

I have tried for ages to do this but can't seem to find a way to draw perfect circles in photoshop. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Becky.

If you hold down the shift while using your circular select tool, you'll get a perfect circle. You can stroke it (edit/stroke) or fill it with your bucket tool or...

Hope this helps..

Thanks for your help. This may sound silly but i can't seem to find the circular select tool. I can find the rectangular select tool but not the circular one - could you tell me where i might find it?

Thanks again,

Becky.

When you look at that rectangular tool, there is a small triangle in the corner of that icon. If you click on your tool, hold it for a while.. that triangle will expand and you'll see other options, one of them the circle.

Hope this helps..

ASK SOMEONE to show you how to use the pen tool and ALL it's functions in Photoshop 7.0 or CS. It will change your life as far as drawings goes.
