APE Helpers- Keeping You From Going Bannanas From Photoshop Elements

Using the Shape Tool

Choose the Shape Tool from the toolbar.
Click on the Shapes drop down menu, typically located on a toolbar at the top of the screen.
Click on the shape you would like to use.
On the canvas, go to where you would like your shape to begin, and click and hold down. Drag the mouse to form the shape, and release left click to place it. You can hold down SHIFT, too, if you want your shape to be proportionate.
