: Pixelated outline circle I have no photoshop experience i am a developer i am trying to create a outline of a circle but it always looks pixelatted. I have attached my attempt. Can someone

You might want to try the ellipse tool:



If you can't find it, it's probably hidden below the Rectangle tool. Press and hold the rectangle to have a series of other tools pop up.


Draw a circle in your file by dragging with the tool while holding
Shift. This will most probably yield a coloured circle
without an outline.
Seek out your Layers panel. If you can't find it, check Window >
Layers or press f7 to make sure it's present.
In the layers palette, you'll see a layer named 'Shape 1'. Click it.
At the top of the layers panel, look for the 'Fill' precentage and set it to 0%:




In this way, you tell Photoshop to hide the layer content while still retaining the Layer style we're going to add.


Now double-click on the 'Shape 1' layer in the layers panel, anywhere but on the layer's name or thumbnail to pop up the 'Layer Style' dialog box.
Click the word 'Stroke'. Don't just click the checkmark, click the word.
Set size, position and colour for your stroke and play away. Commit with 'OK'.


You can change the Shape layer's size and position, and the outline will persist.
