1. File/ New OR CTRL & Double-Click in Work Area
• 8 inches by 8 inches

• Make sure the Contigous box is checked off
• Change the Selection by clicking SHIFT - CTRL - I
• Click the MOVE tool, and drag the ring over.
• Repeat the process for a total of 5 rings
• Arrange the rings in an Olympic Manner (ie, 3 on top row, 2 below, all interlocking)
• Make sure you can see a tiny amount of white space between the overlapping parts of the rings.
• You may also change the colors of each ring.
• Use Image - Adjust - Hue & Saturation
• Make sure the Colorize button is checked.

• Use the Magic Wand on any layer (except the top layer), and select the blank area (not the ring).
• Invert the Selection, by clicking SHIFT - CTRL - I
• Now click on a different layer
• One with a different ring than was selected
• It has to be above the layer with the ring selected).
• You may have to move the layers around in the Layer Palette, or be wise in your selection of which ring you select.
• Remember, you can only erase the part of the ring that is above the ring you selected.
• Click on the Eraser tool
• Erase part of a circle.
• Continue the process, until all the rings are interlocking
• Remember that each ring needs to interlock with at least two other rings.
