: How do I create a solid semi circle shape in Photoshop? Like this: Thank you very much,

@Moriarity648

If you want to create it as a vector shape, then proceed as follows:


Drop a horizontal and vertical guide so you can use the intersection as the centre of the circle.
Select the Ellipse Tool
Mouse over the intersection of the two guides.
As you begin clicking and dragging with the Ellipse Tool, hold down Alt+Shift. This will constrain the shape to a circle centred on the origin of the guide intersection.
Mouse over the circle and hold down ALT. The cursor will display a little minus sign, to show that the next shape you create will be subtracted from the top shape.
As you begin clicking and dragging with the Ellipse Tool to create the inner circle, while still holding down Alt, also hold down Shift, as you click and drag. This will subtract the top shape from the bottom.
Choose the Rectangle Tool. In the tool options along the top choose the Subtract Front Shape option.
Click and drag a rectangle shape over the bottom half of the circle.
Hide the vector paths by selecting another tool, such as the Move tool.
