Oval Shape

  To draw an oval or circular shape, select the Oval Shape Tool from the toolbar, then click and drag your mouse within the Image Area to draw the shape. To complete the drawing, release the mouse. Your oval will be filled with the selected Fill color and surrounded by the selected Border color and Thickness.

The oval will be automatically selected for easy editing, as indicated by the “marching ants” on its border.

You can use the black adjustment handles to resize or stretch your oval. Just click and drag them with the mouse.  Use the corner handles to resize it to any proportions and the side handles to stretch it in just one direction at a time.  To draw an exact circle, hold down the Ctrl key while dragging the handles.
