Welcome back.
One of the things that we can do to manipulate graphics is we can use what's called the shape tool and
what we can do to put a shape on top of a graphic is all we need to do is first again create a new layer
and then what we're going to do it.
We're going to determine the full color of the shape.
So let's talk about two things when we talk about the shape tool.
First we're going to do is we're going to click the outside of this box so that we can see the different
kinds of shapes that we'll have available to us.
And so we click down on that shape.
You'll notice that we had the rectangle tool round that rectangle ellipse polygon the line tool on the
custom shaped tool.
Now whenever we put a shape tool down we're going to be able to draw a shape and that shape is going
to be filled with the color in the foreground area which is the one that we see here which is blue.
So what we're going to do first is we're going to choose the layer that we've placed on top of everything
else and then we're going to draw a new shape the shape we're going to draw is going to be a rectangle
we click the rectangle tool.
You'll notice that you're going to have a cross and you see that cross right here on the left hand side.
And we can place that cross any place where we want one layer and they're going to draw out a rectangle
and soon as we let go of our mouse button It's going to fill the shape where we have it right there.
Now what's going to happen is that that shape is going to have properties and you're going to see them
here on this right side menu.
And so there are a couple of adjustments we can make to the shape.
We can change the color of the shape and we can do that by just clicking in the color that we want we
can choose a border for the picture.
And so we can do is we can then click inside of that pixel box and we can broaden out and we can control
the nature of that shape with the tools that we have and we can recreate a shape right on top of the
image and we want to test our image to see how it will look without the image.
Again we can get rid of the shape by using our eye key we can draw other shapes so we can create a new
layer.
We can go to the outside of our tool.
We can choose a different shape we can then draw that shape
once again our tool is going to fill.
Once again we can choose this pixel box and we can draw a border inside of the shape as we have it here
and so all this remember is taking place on one layer.
We can do is we can move that shape around as long as we have this layer highlighted and we use our
move tool.
We can move the shape around again wherever we want on top of the shape if we don't like the way it
looks.
All we've got to do is we can then use our invisibility tool and then it goes away.
So the shape tool gives us the ability to use shapes on top of our image and then control the nature
of that shape using the tools that we have in the properties area OK with that.
Thanks.
And I will see you in another video.
