Photoshop – Drawing box’s

KB ID 0000203

Problem

For the site I do a lot of screen shots / screen dumps for illustration purposes its good to be able to highlight thinks by being able to draw a box around them. Usually I do this with mspaint, but I finally got tired of doing half the tasks in mspaint and the rest in Photoshop, so I worked out how to do it properly.

Solution

1. Assuming you have you graphic already open, create a new Layer.
