: Photoshop Single Color for Shapes Everytime I use the Ellipse tool in photoshop it creates a border with a black fading to grey outline. I want to make an ellipse with a solid black outline

@Merenda852

This is just an antialiasing issue, if you want perfectly sharp shapes that actually look smooth then please do what you need in illustrator, however, depending on the resolution, you will eventually end up with some grey areas, that is just the way our computer interprets smoothness.

If you still want to have only black spaces, you'll end up with a pixelated look (Unless you work at a really really high resolution ), refer to this post for instructions on how to deactivate antialiasing

This one is quite easy to solve.


Create a new document and select one of the shape tools.
Without drawing a new shape, click on the colour of the fill and the outline and select whichever colours you want.


PS will now remember this as your default setting for all future shapes you create.
