Drawing straight lines without using the line tool
Choose one of the available tools for drawing a line except line tool (Eraser tool, pencil tool, brush tool, etc) and then hold the shift key while dragging the pointer horizontally or vertically.

Drawing straight lines using the brush tool
While the brush tool is selected, click where you want to start the first point to be at. Then hold the shift key and click to the other point where you want your line to end. You may also use this technique mostly to other tools like highlight tool and eraser tool.

Tips at creating shapes
To start drawing from the center, hold alt while dragging. To create perfect shapes of a square, a circle, or when you are using the polygon tool, hold shift while dragging. If you are using any of tools for drawing like the brush tool, or line tool, and you want to move what you are drawing, hold the spacebar and drag it to where you want your drawing placed.

Closing multiple windows of Photoshop
Hold shift while going to the file menu and choose close.

Ulead: an overview

I’ve been using Ulead as my photo editor ever since I can remember. I have never touched Adobe (well, once or twice) because at first glance, the panels seem to be so complicated (lots of features, I know)—what more if I start to doodle on them? Maybe I’ll get the worst migraine of my life.

I like simple things—simple things that can produce extraordinary outputs. I was impressed with the simplicity of Ulead’s interface and I was able to master the program in a matter of hours. All the buttons are grouped in a user-friendly manner and I was able to edit pictures like a pro!

Jewelry Photo Editing Software

Here is one of the website that you should try to create and have your own experiment “Jac’s Paintshop Pro”, the photo editing software that you should try!

Your computer may even have come with photo editing software in its original software bundle; if you aren’t sure, check under “programs” on your computer’s hard drive.

You will surely have fun in exploring with it, and your software doesn’t need to be expensive. Even though Adobe PhotoShop, which is loaded with incredible features, is probably the industry standard for photo editing, it’s also extremely pricey.
