MAKING SHAPES WITH THE SELECTION TOOL - PAGE 2

 


On your top tool bar click on Selections/Modify/Contract by however many pixels you want the thickness of your keyhole to be and click ok.   In this image I contracted by 8 pixels.

Hit your delete button to remove the centre of the image.   Click on Selection - select none.     

Go to Effects/Texture Effects/Sculpture and use the Gold pattern to give the outline of your keyhole a shiny effect.


This was just a tip to give you ideas on how to make shapes with your selection tool. Experiment with selections and create your own shapes, just remember to hold down the shift key to add selections.  To subract a selection hold down the Control key at the same time as making your selection.
