Complex
shapes in 3 different ways
|
|
You can do very complex
shapes just using the Marquee tool and the lasso tool. Draw for an
example a circle. Hold down the shift key and draw a rectangle. You
have now combined two different shapes by adding a rectangle to a
circle
|
|
|
If you want to do the oposite
way, hold
down the Alt-key while you draw the rectangle.

Rounded Corners
|
|
Draw the shape using the
Marquee tool as shown above.
|
|
|
Deselect the shape and apply
the Gaussian Blur filter with radius 4,5 (or higher for softer
shape)
|
|
|
Go to Image/adjust/levels and
drag the 3 little arrows to the middle of the curve.
|
|
|
And this is how it will
look.

This may seem a little bit
more complicated, but you have more control
of the shape this way.
|
|
Start with a new RGB image
with the grid on and snap to grid
draw a circle and fill it with black.
|
|
|
Add a new layer and draw a
rectangle. Fill it with black.
Flatten the image.
|
|
|
Mark the shape with the magic
wand tool, copy it (Ctrl+C) and paste it (Ctrl+V). Go to
Layer/transform/ and flip horizontal. Move the copy so it will fit
with the first layer. Flatten the image.
