How Do I Make a Ring (Hollow Circle)

Hi
I'm pretty new to Photoshop. I've used Premiere Elements a bit longer.
I want to put a red ring (hollow circle) over something in Permiere. I understand how to make transparant areas with solid objects such as circles and stars. I want to essentially make a .png of a circle with both the outside transparant and a second circle in the middle which is also transparant. I know how to put it into Permiere after that.
I've struggled for three hours in trial and error and searching documentation and tutorials. I don't see how to remove a circular area from a larger circle on a transparant background.
Thanks
Janis

Janis,
Regarding the Stroke method, there is a maximum stroke size which may not be enough for your needs. For small stroke values this works well, but large values result in a jagged circle, as in this example with a stroke size of 200px:
Here is another method to make your ring.
1. If you are working on the Background layer, rename it to anything else.
2. Choose the Elliptical Marquee tool, and holding down <Shift> draw out your circle. The <Shift> forces the drawn ellipse to be circular. Another way to get the circle is to set in the options bar: Style Fixed Aspect Ratio, and Width & Height both 1 (or other same value). The you can draw the circle without the <Shift>.
3. Invert the selection and <Delete>. The circle is now on transparent background.
4. Invert the selction so that the ring is again selected.
5. Duplicate the layer.
6. Activate the Move tool and hold down both <Shift> and <Alt> while dragging any corner handle inward. This draws a smaller concentric circle. Here is what we have so far (I started on a solid blue Background layer):
7. Activate the bottom layer and <Delete>. Turn off the visibility of the duplicate layer or delete it. You now have your ring:
Note: The reason for renaming the Background layer is that deleted selections on the Background layer are replaced not with transparency but by the current background color as defined in the toolbar.

HT1688 My iPhone won't ring when the caller is "Unknown". How do I make it ring in this sittuation?

My iPhone won't ring when the caller is "Unknown". How do I make it ring?

Do you even see the call come in on the phone? Do you see the missed call in your list? Or do you just get a voice mail.
If it never even shows up in your missed calls list, contact your carrier. Perhaps you have anonymous call blocking on your account. (I wish I did...)

Photoshop CS3 - How do I make a ring shine

Hello, I am very inexperienced with photoshop, and I'm working on my first project. I edited the picture below using a video tutorial, and now I want to try and make the ring stand out more. I was hoping to be able to make it shine or at least make the silver and diamonds stand out more. Any ideas on what I need to do?
Thank you very much for your time.

Probably a zillion ways to do it, but the first step is to create a new layer with the ring. To do that use one of the selection tools, quick select, lasso, pen, etc.
Then you can experiment with painting tiny white spots to look like reflections.
Get a ad for a ring and use that as a guide on what you want to do.
No magic buttons, just experiment. And do this on a copy of original so when you screw up nothing is lost but time.
I like to create new document every so often in the History pane so I can go back in time and start at a specific place if I need to.
Good luck.

How can you make phone ring but text vibrate

How do you set your phone to ring but all other notifications ie texts &emails vibrate?
This question is for iPhone 4 & 4s

As i mentioned up top, you can do this with a silent ringtone. I have read some app's have muted ringtones(don't know of the app name though) OR, GarageBand can make ringtones on Mac. (that is where i think you would need further explaining on, if you have Mac).
The silent tone will be set as text's tone (as the same if it made noise), it will vibrate two times quick...While asleep, awake, on a phone call, still texting, at almost any time i can think of, (other than powered OFF.)
I have recommended this method, for people asking as a regular ringtone, for telemarketer's, unknown callers, and other sort of people. And YES, you will need the Vibrate turned on.
Hope this helped.

Making a ring (Hollow Circle) Flash CC

assign its fill to none and draw your circle.

I just upgraded my iPhone4s to iOS7 and now I am unable to make phone calls and send/receive text messages. Network signal indicator on the upper left side of the display shows hollow circles instead of full circles. Any idea how to fix the problem?

I just upgraded my iPhone4s to iOS7 and now I am unable to make phone calls and send/receive text messaes. Network signal indicator on the upper left side of the display shows hollow circles instead of full circles (but with the network provider name). I checked with my colleagues in the office who use the same network and theirs work just fine on iOS7. Any idea how to fix the problem?

I have also called my service provider and my service remains active in the network. I tried removing and reinserting my SIM but to no avail.

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?

I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S. I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds. After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?" I didn't even know such a function existed. Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual. If it is green, turn it off. You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu). I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere. Good luck!

Photoshop newbie ~ how to make a simple highlight circle?

Hi
I am a convert from Paint Shop Pro.
Now with PSP it was very easy to take a screen shot and highlight a button or area on the image by drawing a hollow circle or oval and set the border color and width.
I am struggling to find the best way to achieve this in Photoshop, any ideas please ?
[ Please see example screen shot, taken from a user guide ]
Many thanks..!

I'm wading into this late, but for preparation of "how to" images I kind of like to do it this way:
1. Select the Ellipse Tool (I actually like the Rounded Rectangle Tool better in general).
2. Set it to draw a path only, and drag a path around what you want to draw attention to.
3. Create a new, empty layer.
4. Select the Brush Tool, set it to a few pixels in width, and not full opacity (say, 75%).
5. Choose a foreground color.
6. In the PATHS panel use the Stroke Path button to stroke the brush around the path created instep 2.
7. Add layer styles, e.g., drop shadow, bevel.
8. Use the Line Tool to draw arrows.
9. Use the Text Tool to add some text.
10. Copy the layer styles from the stroked layer to the other new layers (the style can be pasted onto multiple layers at once).

Just restored my iPhone from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?

Just restored my iPhone 5 from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop? We had it all set up fine before the restore, and there was a trick to it in the settings. I've noticed that since my restore, her phone has picked up what looks like the symbol of a phone in the upper right corner of the display, right next to the Bluetooth symbol.

Hi Big Slick,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like your iPhones may be using a new feature in iOS 8 called Continuity. The following article and information explains how to set up this feature for phone calls. You can review the information on the setup to reverse this effect. My suggestion would be to turn off FaceTime on one of the devices.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
Phone calls
With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
Cheers,
Joe

HT1727 help how do i make a purchased song my ring tone, it;s not showing on my list for ringtones

help how do i make a purchased song my ring tone, it's not showing on my list for ringtones

This song was purchased from the iTunes Store?
If so, you can't create a ringtone from music that was purchased from the iTunes store, but if there is a ringtone available for purchase and download at the iTunes Store with this song, you need to do that.
For music in your iTunes library on your computer that was not purchased from the iTunes store, there are a number of ways to create a ringtone with such music. With a Mac, there is an inexpensive or free app avaiable via Apple's online App Store named Ringer. Ringer has access to all music and sound files in your iTunes library that was not downloaded from the iTunes Store for creating your chosen segment of the song to be used for the ringtone. The app places the created ringtone in your iTunes library under Tones for transfer to your iPhone when syncing.
Creating ringtones on a Mac can also be done with GarageBand, and there is a manual way of doing this with iTunes.

After doing this my iPhone got stoke in the loading circle. How can I make it work again?

Try connecting it to your computer and restoring it by going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking on Restore (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414). If that doesn't work you'll have to put it into recovery mode and restore it, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
