: How to cut of rectangle shape to create bracket in Photoshop? I want a layer like this: I've drawn the rectangle then I made a selection with the marquee selection tool to delete a part

@Debbie163

Although it might be best to do it in illustrator you can:
First make a rectangle

Then rasterize the layer

Use the select tool to select a square and press delete, this should give you one half of the square bracket.

You can then Duplicate the layer

On one of the layers press Ctrl + T to transform the shape and then right click and press Flip Horizontal

You can now move them apart and using the text tool place text in the right position


That might not be the best way to do it but it would be how I would do it.
