Which tool is used to draw the ellipse shape?

• A. Ellipse tool from the toolbar
• B. Move tool
• C. Brush tool
• D. Type tool

Answer: (A)

To create an ellipse shape in Photoshop, use the Ellipse Tool from the toolbar. This tool is part of the Shape tools group and is specifically designed for drawing ellipse outlines or filled ellipses. Select it, then drag on the canvas to draw. If you want a perfect circle, hold Shift while dragging; to draw from the center, hold Alt (Option on Mac) while dragging. The Move tool simply relocates layers, the Brush tool paints pixels, and the Type tool adds text, so they don’t produce ellipse shapes.
