Hello ;
I am only a newbie on photo shop when I changed to Illustrator 6 what i am trying to do is find and use the simple Photoshop elliptical marquee tool to draw round faces and things and copy and paste onto other pictures and things and am finding i can not for the life of me find it anywhere only ' Elipise and rectangle tool which basically just draw circles and deletes whatever is in it as a draw tool.
((Also i can not find the ' Layer menu that used to allow you to use the drop down menu of up top so you can go Layer/ new layer / Adjustment to follow the directions that were working for me in the older other Photoshop i was learning on .
I seem to have lost the ' soft brushed and choices that used to be in the arrow drop down up the top and there is no IMAGE menu up the top . i can't see the Icon like the side of hand that held the burn and dodge tool in it
and thee pointing hand icon to use for smudge.))
I have been googling for about hour or so and i keep finding pictures of the Photoshop that has the elliptical tool choice and no matter where i look on info it is in Photoshop rather than illustrator to mention this ' marching ants elliptical marquee tool and i honestly can not find them anywhere ... to do the first step to do what I was learning and did about 10 times when i was just learning before now i have come back to it i can't follow the first 2 things.. so it was hard to start with but lol i know sounds silly to users here but I honestly feel like i am going mad trying to find where these are in illustrator and i as i can't find the other menus i know i have problems already to find them in the next 5 steps to do what i was doing to practice... and again i am not having much luck with 'Illustrator' you tubes or articles they have the Photoshop image interface that i was trying to DIY learn with and was working ok but can someone tell me does the elliptical marching ants tool exist in illustrator please? or has it been done away with .. ?
and if any other the other things like layer adjustment and the brushes i can see but seems only to be hard ones and such not the round soft or choice up top i find when i go to window menu and tick BRUSHES.. if any help i would appreciate it very very much .. mostly if the first exists or not as i feel like i am going in more circles that i have drawn looking for these tools in illustrator.
Thank you for reading new post i could not find answer in google or other forums or the you tube the only one that dealt with this was not the marching ants tool and not copy paste to other photo or page so any help appreciated as i could be looking for something that no longer exists in this version of cs6 illustrator .. thank you again for reading
