Hello, it’s my first time using Photoshop and I’ve already run into some problems... I want to make a circle exactly like this one 2 cm to the right. Can i somehow ease the process of placing the secondary circle to be the exact same height and the exact distance 2 cm from the first circle? Also the black on the circle seems kind of thick and weird is their anyway I can get a more “regular” black? |

Welcome to the forum Zeeb.
Is the circle on a separate layer to the white background or is it all one layer?
Ctrl+R will bring up the rule scale around the edge of your document, right click with the mouse on the rule to change the measurement scale to mm/cm.
If you don't want the blurry/aliased look and would prefer the shape with a more solid or defined edges use a shape layer (U) or an elliptical marquee (M) and stroke the selection, you can then feather to your liking.
If the above is as clear as mud, just shout back, someone, if not me will jump in

Getting it 2 CM on screen is difficult. Screens are measured in pixels, so if you get the measurements right on your screen, it could be different on another monitor or once you come to print it out.
Definitely worth some test prints before you print the final version.
Hope that helps
