ARDELL asked about this a few days ago and got some excellent responses in the comments.
Although, my favorite tool for Drawing on Photos is Snag-It (yes, it does more than screen captures), here is how to do it in Photoshop Elements 5:
Open your image.
Click on the Elliptical Marquee tool. If the Ellipitcal tool isn't visible, right click on the Rectangular Marquee, and you'll see it in the "fly-out" list.
Click and drag to draw a circle (or oval) somewhere on the image. Not quite the right place? Hit Escape and do it again.
Hit Select -> Modify -> Border
In the Border Selection dialogue box, type in a pixel width for the circle. I usually use 2 or 3. Click OK.
Now Hit Edit -> Fill Selection
The Fill Layer dialogue box will pop up and allow you to select a color for your circle. Click color.
In the Color Picker, move the sliders up and down, then click in the large, left side box to select a color. Be sure your selected color shows in the top half of the smaller, right side box, then click OK.
To remove the "marching ants" selection border, hit Select -> Deselect
Done!
Tim: I made the screen shots with Snag-It.
AH-HA! I love your blogs. I learn so much from you. :)
