non certain if you are familar with the pen tool (adjacent to the shape tool)merely this is the procedure, one. Take hold of the pen tool and click around the text which will make ballast points. go all the way around until you make the circle (click on your first anchor point to close the circle). 2. At present click on the brush tool and select a prefered brush size and color (in this case red). 3. Now click back on the pen tool and right click on the circle y'all made, and click stroke path. A dialog window should pop up, fix your tool to brush and make sure "Simulate Pressure" is Non checked. and hit ok. and your done.

Grab the pen tool and click around the text which will make anchor points. become all the way around until you make the circle (click on your first anchor point to close the circle). 2. Now click on the castor tool and select a prefered brush size and color (in this case ruddy). 3. Now click back on the pen tool and right click on the circumvolve y'all made, and click stroke path. A dialog window should pop up, ready your tool to castor and make certain "Simulate Pressure" is NOT checked. and hit ok. and your done. Thanks for your assist. When I followed footstep iii and clicked on the pen tool once more, then right-clicked the cirlce, stroke path was not an option. Any idea why? _________________ Rory D.

do not utilise the pen tool. If you simply accept to circumvolve something, apply the ELLIPSE TOOL. The fill can be any color you want. Drag the ellipse OVER whatever information technology is you have to circumvolve...so that it covers it. And so go over to the layer pallet...with the Ellipse selected, bring the FILL down to 0%...And so open up the BLENDING OPTIONS for that ellipse layer and select STROKE. The default color is red, and you can change the thickness of the stroke by adjusting the size in pixels (px). Using the pen just makes it too complicated..hope this helps.

Do not forget to concur shift to keep the aspect ratio the same to make the perfect circumvolve.
