  • I was trying to make an unfilled circle in photoshop cc and kept finding all of these videos that dealt with stroke and having to change colors.
    You do not have to do any of that!! - So I found out. Figured I would share with you how this is possible to do and it is much easier than all the other no fill circle videos.
    If you are needing to crop out the middle of a circle, make a circle border, draw a circle without fill or anything similar to where you would need this design, this will be the easiest way to get to your result.

    Don't forget to adjust color of stroke if you want the outline to be the same color as the fill. I was trying to make a blue circle but I kept getting a black circle with blue fill. Other than that this video was great and should definitely be referred to.
    Stroke is on the toolbar.

    1. Draw ellipsis, holding down SHIFT-key to create perfect circle.
    2. Once created, right-mouse-click circle to MAKE SELECTION (@ zero feather).
    3. Hit Transform Selection, then use alt+shift to reduce the selection size while centered within your circle.
    4. Once you have a suitable selection within your circle, hit alt-Mask to knock-out the selection.
    5. Change color and size of circle at will (adjusting "stroke" thickness may require you to "step backwards" and recreate steps 2-4).

      A note for others: (1) Make sure your layer is selected while doing the inner cirlce!! (2) When I had the 'selection tool' selected and was holding 'control' & 'alt,' hitting 'T' brought up a drop down menu. If this happens to you, select 'Free Transform Path' and you'll be back on track. My photoshop has that command set for 'command + T.'

      Strategic Endeavors FX I’m not positive that I am fully understanding you. Just off the top of my head has you tried rasterizing the type or the layer. That’s all I got. Perhaps someone else will have more knowledge. I’m by no means a ps guru, I can just get myself around and pick up a few things here and there.

  • @energywizard1
    @energywizard1 Před 6 lety +5

    Ok, I am a novice at this, but I can follow it to a certain extent. I select my perfect circle, and do Ctrl Alt T, and then size it with Alt Shift. Once I do that, Photoshop creates a copy of the layer I have my circle on. I can go to the ellipses control, but Subtract Front Shape is not available to me. I have looked at several of these tutorials and they have a similar issue. I can get so far, but the next step has the options I need grayed out. Now this seems to be the simplest thing, but why is it creating a copy when I resize it? I don't see that happening for you. Just as the person below, Clint, When I right click on the circle, the option to Make Selection is grayed out. Please tell me what I am missing.

    • @joshbernthold9577
      @joshbernthold9577  Před 6 lety

      I am by far not a PS wizard. So I am unsure why this would be. Make sure you are following it exactly and you are on the correct layers when choosing what you are subtracting

      Judi B I’m not sure if the same process works in Elements but I would assume so... each tool has its own options in the top bar. Make sure all of your options are not in something that may be making this not work for you. If it doesn’t there are other methods and ways to go about this. I may make an alternate option video that is just as easy if not easier that I stumbled upon if you’re interested and still needing a fix?
