Adding Hand-Drawn Shapes to the Work Area

You can add hand-drawn shapes to images using the Freehand Tool. You do not have to worry about creating a perfect shape. The Freehand Tool smoothes edges so your shapes look great.

To Add a Hand-Drawn Shape to the Work Area:

1. Select the Freehand Tool from the Create group's Tool drop-down menu.
2. In the Properties bar, enter a curve tolerance setting. For example, enter 1 if you want more corners and curves in your shape. Enter 5 if you want fewer.
3. Click and drag as if you are drawing in the work area.
4. Release the mouse button close to the starting point.
