How do you select a circle area, and how can you adjust it’s size? Can you select a circle area and drag out the shape to the size you want? Trying to make CD label image from an existing jpg file. Thanks for any help,
Ed

The best way is to try the ellictic selection tool witch is the fist on your left, it’s "under" the square
tool.
Then, press CAPS during you select your area (this allow you to make a perfect circle instead) or CAPS and ALT (if you want your circle begin from the center)
then you can ajust the size by menu Selection>transform selection and drag the size you want press CAPS during
you drag the keep a circle.

No need to apologize – everyone is welcome here. Very few of us could say much of anything in your language.
