Shape

In “PSP” we have a number of “Preset shapes” which we can use.
We have the rectangle, the oval and the star and many more.
We find all these under the “Preset Shape” tool.

Depending on the shape selected, you will have some options in the options bar.
All these seem quite clear, so perhaps the only thing I can say is that when you check the “Show Nodes” box, you can change the shape by clicking and dragging the symbol points. Another important thing is that you can place any shape on its own vector layer by selecting the “Create as Vector” option.
This makes it easy when you later want to change some shape based on the ranking of the various shapes.
If you want to change the order of several layers, you can click and drag them in the palette, “Layers” to the desired location.

 

Saving Shapes

If you want to use a shape later, you can save it.

Right-click the shape, select “Export” and click “Shape”.
Enter a name in the dialog that appears, and click the OK button.

The next time you open the basic types, you will find the shape you designed

 

If any of you are wondering how to draw this shape I’ve made it quite simple:
Draw a circle with a yellow background and black border.
Draw a second circle on the same vector layer with a black border and black background.
Draw a star with the same color settings, and also on the same vector layer.
Finally, draw a black oval, on the same vector layer.
Select all the four shapes with the selection tool, right click the image and select “Group” in the drop-down menu.

Once all shapes are grouped, right click the grouped shape and select “Export”, and the rest of the procedure is already known to you.
