whippet.....ahhhh now I understand.....I think the one on the left is particularly good! You can use the elliptical marquee to draw a circle........just hold down the shift key as you drag. If it's not in the right place, click inside the circle to move into position.

Interesting as when once you type a name it doesn't want to edit it!
@major Major......it must have been a strong current!

If it's not in the right place, click inside the circle to move into position. Ahhh, that's where I went wrong. I didn't press the shift key down, so inside the circle filled with white.  Well spotted re. the faces. I followed the tutorial for the first one, but couldn't stand listening to that voice for another - so did it my own way.  |

The Shift key didn't cause the circle to be filled with white. The Elliptical Marquee tool is designed to draw an oval selection. If you want to draw a perfectly circular one, you need to press down the Shift key as you drag this tool.
If you are trying to draw a perfectly circular selection around a given area within your image, . . .
1. Create a new layer.
2. Activate the Elliptical Marquee tool (M).
3. Press down the Shift key and draw your selection.
4. Go to Edit>Stroke (Outline) Selection. Choose the color and the width for your stroke. Select "Inside" for the location.
NOTE:
You can from the onset determine the center of your selection. This will eliminate the need for having to move the selection later one. Place your cursor on the area which you want to be the center of the circle. Hold the Alt key (along with the Shift key if you want a perfectly circular selection) as you drag out the circle.

Thank you so much.
I have done what I should always do - not trust my memory and put it on paper.
