Adobe Photoshop is a widely used program for creating and editing images. The frame tool is one of the basic tools in Photoshop that can be used to create simple or complex shapes.

The frame tool can be used to create rectangular or elliptical shapes, as well as polygons with up to 10 sides. In this article, we will show you how to use the frame tool in Photoshop.

To use the frame tool, simply select it from the toolbar on the left side of the screen. Then, click and drag on the canvas to create your shape. If you want to create a perfect square or circle, hold down the Shift key while you are dragging.

To create a polygon, click once on the canvas to create the first point, then click again to add additional points. To finish creating the shape, double-click or press Enter/Return.

PRO TIP: The frame tool in Photoshop can be used to create a rectangular or elliptical border around an image. The frame tool can also be used to create a border with a custom shape. To use the frame tool, select the layer that you want to frame in the layers panel. Then, click on the frame tool in the toolbar and click and drag to create a rectangle or ellipse. To create a custom shaped border, click on the frame tool in the toolbar and then click on the “Create a Custom Shape” option in the options bar.

Once you have created your shape, you can add color or other effects to it by selecting the layer that contains your shape and going to the “Layer” menu at the top of the screen. From here, you can select “Layer Styles” to add a drop shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, etc. You can also use the “Fill” and “Stroke” options in this menu to add color to your shape.

That’s all there is to using the frame tool in Photoshop! With this tool, you can easily create simple or complex shapes that can be customized with colors and effects.
