Question
Hi Kamal,

I am quite new to photoshop. I want to create an arc around a circle and give some effects to it. I tried pen tool but not able to make proper shapes.

I have attached the image on google docs, to make it more clear what I want to achieve.

https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0ByR_nvcYV2ghOWZhYmViNmEtN2FiZS00NjYwLWIzZjEtMjQ4ODhkZGE3NjMz&hl=en_US

The arc looks like they have been punched or stapled.

Will you be able to help?

Thanks

Answer
Hi Deepak,
I have seen the attached image.
Well i see you have given a bevel effect to the arcs around the circle (thats the reason they look like punched). And the entire layer as a drop shadow.
I'd like to know what effects you are actually trying to achieve and what you didn't like about the current effects.
