There are eight Shape tool options under the Shape tool in the Toolbox. This tool's icon
changes based on the last Shape tool option you used. You can set many options for each
Shape tool option. When you draw a shape, Photoshop Elements automatically creates a
Shape layer. This new Shape layer keeps the shape separate from the photo image and is a
nondestructive form of editing for your photo.
