Circle

[starbird parrot]

I have been on PS since PS 3 and I do not care for the changes that keep happening. I need to draw a circle within a circle and color the inner circle. I can make the circle with the elipse tool and the moment I touch the image the circle vanishes.WTH?

How do I use that dXXn tool and keep it from vanishing?

Can you grab a screen shot of your workspace with the layers panel showing, and paste it to this thread?

I have the screen shot, how do I attach it?

[Trevor.Dennis]

Just paste it from the clipboard with Ctrl v. Or if you have saved it to a local drive, use the forum image widget, but you will need to hit the reply button to your first post to have all the options. (We are using a new platform for the Adobe forums, and they are not fully sorted out yet,)

Check in the options bar you are using the ellipse tool to draw a shape and not a path.

To attach an image use the blue reply button  next to your original post and you will see an image button.

Here an explanation how to create shapes like a circle in Photoshop: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/drawing-shapes.html

Thank you all, I needed it right then so hand drew it. I will watch the video and follow your directions. I have never seen things behave so annoyingly as in the CC versions of PS. Now I need to erase something and it has a mask. No matter which image, the original, the unmasked ... can't erase no matter which eraser I select.

New problem... can't use the eraser tool. I do this all the time but no matter what I select, the original image, or the copy image, I cannot erase regardless of which eraser I select. I need to clean up the edge of the feather, actually a lot of feathers, and some of the inner slits where the black of the shirt will show through in priinting. Thank you very much.

I made a duplicate layer and that was erasable. Why couldn't I erase on the original tiff layer?
