OK, I really searched for an easy way to do this, but this technique seems to be the simplest. There are a few steps involved.


Choose your Rectangle Tool (Not the Rectangular Marquee Tool!)

On a new layer, create a rectangle by clicking once and holding on the upper center guidelines, start dragging, then add in and hold down the shift key and the Opt/Alt key at the same time. Drag until the rectangle is even with the lower horizontal guideline.

On a new layer, you can repeat the same process on the left or you can duplicate the first rectangle using Cmd/Cntrl + J , and then use the Move Tool to position it to the left.

Next, you need to select the Direct Selection Tool.

Select the right side rectangle layer.

ON the canvas, click once on the right side rectangle. This will add a path with anchor points. Place the cursor on the lower right anchor point, right click and choose "Delete Anchor Point".

Almost there! LOL!


Turn off the two new triangle layers.

Select/Highlight the Gradient Arc layer.

Hold down the Cmd/Cntrl key, place your mouse cursor over the the right triangle layers thumbnail and click once.

This will make a selection of the right triangle........

Now hold down the shift key and the Cmd/Cntrl key, place your mouse cursor over the the left triangle layers thumbnail and click once.

This will add the left side triangles selection to the rights.

Note: Only the new larger triangle is selected!

Now hold down the shift key and the Cmd/Cntrl key, then hit I (Inverse)

Note: Now the selection is around the larger triangle and the outside of the document.....

Now hit the delete key! Then Cmd/Cntrl + D to deselect. DONE!

You can clear the guides by going to View > Clear Guides


What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
