Hi,

How do I get the copyright symbol inserted into a blank file. i am using a laptop, I found the symbol in the expert section under custom shape tool. I want to add this symbol in front of text.

Thanks,

Lynda

Lynda,

If you get the custom shape tool version to work, here are a couple things to keep in mind.

1. In my old PSE version when I draw out a shape I have to hold down <Shift> to preserve the shape's proportions. It could be your PSE version has some option to preserve the proportions.

2. I often see "jaggies" on custom shapes, as in this example:

But again, this might just be my PSE version.

If I simplify the shape layer the jaggies disappear:

Lynda,

You're almost there. Type your text. Click on the copyright symbol and drag it out. Activate the move tool, and position the symbol. You can resize it with the corner handles, if necessary. Note that it comes in on a separate layer (Shape.)

I did that and it did not put anything next to my text, I clicked on the symbol and dragged and all it had was a plus sign no symbol

Click on the symbol in the symbols library under the custom shape tool, and drag it out.

In the layers palette you should see 3 layers, with the symbol at the top.

Also, make sure on the tool's option bar, the icon for "create new shape layer" is ticked. Look at my print screen, it is next to ©.
