I always use arrow marks on images whenever I write a post about some tutorials. It  makes readers to understand tutorials easy. One of my readers asked me in a commemnt how to create these arrow marks. So here is a tutorial to create arrow marks on images using Adobe Photoshop.

  1. First of all, you must download layer styles to give a beautiful look to arrow marks. My friend Gagan posted some good layer styles, click here to download these layer styles.
  2. Now open adobe photoshop and load layer styles. If you dont know how to load layer styles in photoshop, look at the screenshot below :
  3. arrow_marksNow select Custom Shape Tool from Tools window at the left side.

  4. After selecting custom shape  tool, select Arrow from Shapes from top menu.

  6. To rotate the arrow, first select Move Tool and after that click on Show Transform Controls

This is good Simran , though I suggest use software “Snagit”. It’s one of the software which is recommended by most of the blogger. That will make your Image editing very easy,
