Behind the Scenes: Creating Shapes With Fixed Sizes

Published by Sula H.

I have a very quick little tutorial for you today. Time and again, I’ve wondered how, in Photoshop, I can create a shape, say a rectangle, with a fixed size. Sometimes, esp. when I do hybrid projects, I really need to have something of a specific size to meet my needs. Other times, I like to work quite precisely on a layout (I’m a perfectionist to some degree, you’re right!), and then being able to know how to create a shape of an exact size can come in handy. So, the answer to this little question is actually really simple. Take a look at this little image, and this is all there is you need to know. For real! Ok, ok. I’ll give some explanation, too.   STEP 1 | Select the Shape Tool Start by hitting the key U, or clicking on the icon for the Shape Tool in your toolbox of your Photoshop screen (it’s on the left side of my screen) to open the Shape Tool.

Bad Showering Moments

Published by Sula H.

And a  man of experience, they say, is never at the mercy of a man with an argument. A statement that I have find to be quite true – except for one part, of course: I’m not a man! But I do have experience. At least when it comes to bad showering moments!
