Step 1: Open a new layer in Photoshop Start by opening a new layer in Photoshop. To do this, navigate to the “Layers” panel and click the “New Layer” button located at the bottom of the panel. Alternatively, use the shortcut “Ctrl + Shift + N” on Windows or “Command + Shift + N” on Mac.

Step 2: Access the Shapes Tool With the new layer created, it’s time to access the Shapes tool. Navigate to the “Windows” menu located at the top of the screen and select “Shapes” from the dropdown menu. This will open the “Shapes” panel.

Step 3: Choose the Arrow Shape In the “Shapes” panel, if it’s not there, click on the “Legacy Shapes” button located at the top right corner of the panel. Select “All Legacy Default Shapes” from the dropdown menu. This option will enable access to the arrow shape tool for Photoshop versions 2019 and above.

Once you have chosen this option, you should see a variety of shapes, including the arrow shape. Click on the arrow tab to access a range of arrow options. Choose the arrow that fits your project’s needs.

Step 4: Draw the Arrow With the arrow selected, it’s time to draw it on the canvas. Choose the “Shape” option located at the top of the screen and click and drag on the canvas to create the arrow. You can adjust the size, color, and stroke width of the arrow as desired using the options located in the toolbar.

Step 5: Edit the Arrow If you need to edit the arrow, you can use the “Direct Selection” tool, located in the toolbar. With this tool selected, click on the arrow to display its anchor points. You can then move these points to alter the shape of the arrow.

Step 6: Save the Arrow Once you have finished creating and editing your arrow, you can save it as a custom shape for future use. To do this, select the arrow and click on “Edit” located at the top of the screen. From the dropdown menu, select “Define Custom Shape.” Name your arrow and click “OK” to save it as a custom shape.

In conclusion, making arrows in Photoshop is a simple process that can elevate the visual impact of your projects. With these easy-to-follow steps, you can create custom arrows quickly and efficiently. Remember to save your custom arrow shapes to use them again in future projects.
