    Hi could anyone give me a fools guide to creating a clock face in Photoshop elements please?

    I'm wanting to make something like these, but to be honest I have no idea how to do it.

    The best way to find out this sort of thing is to use google and you don't have to wait on replies. Have a look here; http://www.drquincy.com/resources/tu...p/analogclock/

    Personally, I would recommend a vector app for this sort of thing. Not only much quicker, but the fine lines will not need antialiasing and will therefore print crisply. It really would be a breeze in CorelDRAW, or Xara. The Xara trial is a small download and there are many here who are knowledgable with it, so it may be worth considering if print output is your final destination.

    Thank you, yes the printout is important. I'm just downloading the Xara trial now. If I can't workout how to use it I will ask.

    Edit: Xara doesn't seem to work on vista.

    Edit: I have paintshop too might it be easier in that?

    John the attachment is the result of about 20 minutes using Xara Xtreme, a vector drawing program. In Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro it would have taken me 3 to 4 times longer to make the image. It is a rough draft rather than a finished drawing, but should give you an idea of the capabilities of a vector application.
