Making a Circle
or Square
I made a Circle for this tutorial, but I will tell you what to do if
you want to make a square.

In the vertical tool bar on the left side of the screen you will
see a Rectangular looking icon. Hold the mouse button down
on this, you will see another sub-tool bar pop out. Drag over to
the Circular Marquee and let go of the mouse. If you want to
make a square, then just click on the Rectangular Marquee
instead.
Hold down the Shift key and move the mouse pointer over to
your work area. Now press and hold the mouse button and
drag out a circle (Sense you held the shift key, it will make a
perfect round circle or square for you). When you have the size
you like, Let go of the mouse button and shift key.

Now we're going to Fill this Circle with some color.

Look for the Swatches pallet on the screen, it will look
something like the picture I have. Go over to it with the mouse
and select a color, I choose blue ( if you don't see the
swatches, then go to Window>Show Swatches.
Click on the Paint Bucket in the tool bar on the left. Now click
inside the circle you made to fill it in with color.
 Deselect our circular selection by holding down Ctrl - D.
You are finished
