Did you try Youtube ?

LTG : )

I work in CS4 or whatever, so I dont know "elements" but you can probably hack it. Create the size and shape that you want using the rounded rectangle tool, dont worry about fill color. Rasterize the layer. And then select the center of the rectangle and either modify, contract by 1 or 2 pixels, and then delete to create the outline only (then do color overlay for whatever outline color you want), or create a new layer, fill the selected new layer with what ever color you want the outline to be, contract, delete, etc. And now you have an outline of a rounded rectangle without any fill.If you need a vector version you may need different software.

Draw your shape with black selected at the bottom of the toolbox. Now select white, then paint bucket and click in the middle of your shape. That will leave the outline black.

If your working on simple shapes and 2 or 3 tone colors you may try using inkscape instead of photoshop. The learning curve is nowhere near as steep and is free to use.

This is how I do it in PS Elements:

Draw your rounded rectangle with the draw tool.
Simplify the layer
Select the shape with the Marquee tool (I use Magic Wand tool)
Go to EDIT/STROKE
Select OUTSIDE/CENTER/INSIDE for line location around the shape
Select width and color of line
Click OK
Use ESC key to exit Marquee tool
Click Marquee tool again and select inside the shape (the color you want deleted)
Click EDIT/DELETE

You should be left with a line around the shape.

When I use your DELETE method it only works if I choose the OUTSIDE line option. On the INSIDE line option it deleted everything including the outline and on the CENTER option is deletes half of the outline width. That is why I added the SELECT at the end in order to isolate just the color inside the new outline whether it is outside or inside.

Why not just capture the existing lines? Redrawing the whole thing seems like a lot of extraneous effort. It would be a lot easier in Word.

In Photoshop Elements you can use the IMAGE/PERSPECTIVE menu item to get that kind of shape from a rounded rectangle shape. Drag a corner.

In WORD you can draw a rounded rectangle then right click on the shape and choose edit points. Drag a corner to move one side. It is tricky because you will have to drag a couple of corner points freehand to get it.

This is really the best answer. Using Photoshop to draw those kinds of things is the wrong tool. That's like trying to put in a screw with a hammer. This can be done in 2 seconds flat in a vector program like Inkscape (free) or Illustrator. I use Flash for that stuff myself (now called Animate). Draw it quick, export it as a png or jpg and open it in Photoshop if you need to do other stuff with it.

That second drawing would also be easy to make that way too. If you want I'll do that one for you, it'll take 2 seconds. OK not 2 seconds, but it will be easy.

Also yes, that’s how I would do that one. Draw the circles, connect with straight lines as needed, done.

Cool! This pdf has the full BV playfield redrawn as vector. I used Flash for this. Inkscape should work too. Once you figure it out you can really crank out these types of drawings. Keys to making it easier are exploiting library items and layers. Library items are things you will need to use repeatedly, of course there are many of these on a pinball machine. Draw a rollover button once, store it as a library graphic and name it “rollover button” and you never have to draw it again. Just drag it over when you need another one. If you set up your layers up right it helps to do other things, for example put the rubbers on their own layer, then you can turn off the other layers to make just a rubber chart.

To make a drawing like this I import the original graphic (from Bally Manual in this case) and put it on the bottom layer and lock it in place. Then you can draw the stuff right on top of it using it as a guide. When you are ready to export the image, just turn off that reference layer so it’s not visible.
