When it comes to creating shapes in Photoshop, there are a few different ways that you can go about it. One of the most common shapes that people want to create is a rectangle. In this article, we’ll show you how to create a rectangle in Photoshop and style it using some basic HTML tags.

There are a few different ways that you can create a rectangle in Photoshop. The first way is to use the Rectangle Tool. You can find this tool in the Tools panel (it’s the second tool from the left).

Once you have the Rectangle Tool selected, click and drag on your canvas to create a rectangle. You can also hold down the Shift key while you’re dragging to create a perfect square. When you let go of the mouse button, you’ll see that your rectangle has been created.

If you want to change the color of your rectangle, you can do so by clicking on the “Fill” color in the toolbar (it’s the second color from the left). Once you’ve selected a color, simply click on your rectangle to fill it in.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Photoshop, or do not have a basic understanding of how to use the software, this tutorial may not be for you. Photoshop can be a complex program, and this tutorial only covers the very basics of how to make a rectangle.

You can also add a stroke (outline) to your rectangle by clicking on the “Stroke” color in the toolbar (it’s the third color from the left). To add a stroke, simply click on your rectangle and drag outwards to create an outline.

Once you’re happy with your rectangle, you can style it using some basic HTML tags. To make your text bold, simply wrap it in <b> tags.

To make your text italicized, wrap it in <i> tags. And to underline your text, wrap it in <u> tags.

That’s all there is to creating and styling a rectangle in Photoshop! By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to create any kind of shape that you want and style it however you like.

So there you have it! Now you know how to create a rectangle and style it using some basic HTML tags.
