I can do something like what is shown in the following image very quickly in MS Paint:

How can I do something similar, circle something in red or highlight some text in a rounded-corner rectangle, quickly in Photoshop?

  • Draw a shape, give it no fill and stroke it Oct 31, 2018 at 15:24
  • do you want it badly hand-drawn, or professional? ;)

  • @Tetsujin LOL! Funny. I'd prefer it "professional" or as uniform and smooth-ish as shown in the attached partial screenshot. ^^

For hand-drawn, the brush tool is probably easiest...

For a more professional look, try a rounded rectangle...

  • Thank you very much for showing this! Especially showing me where the Shape tool is was really helpful. Yes, I'm just a newbie that I didn't even know where it is, and it was overwhelming trying to search for anything really. =)

  • It might be worth it to draw attention to the very top of your second partial screenshot, drawing reader's attention that they need to pick no fill, stroke color wanted, and that they can control the size of the shape via W and H numbers and the position via the arrows. By way of this, is there a "manual" way of resizing the shape? I tried but the cursor moves the shape instead of resizing.

  • That's actually why I used the shot I did, so you could see the toolbar. Editing shapes is really not the simplest, usually if I get one wrong it's easier to just bin it & make a new one. I only use them to do precisely this task, I'm not any kind of 'graphics designer' I'm just a photo editor
