Assistance please - got myself involved 'helping out' ie FOC job - a local village charity, just a couple of simple signs....
text and all that laid out - just trying to a big, bold, arrow - the 'shaft I can do - rectangular marquee tool, fill with black - just cannot figure for the life of me how to make a triangular selection..... please point me in the right direction - no pun intended......
(Had used a row of = symbols with a > at the end but they've gone all Saatchi and Saatchi on me and want a big, bold arrow.... heck, its to point folk to the local hall whence the may find refreshments....)

Make a square on a new layer using the rectangle tool, rotate it 45°, then cut it in half (select with rectangle tool and delete). Then you can use the transform command to stretch it to size to make a sort of isosceles triangle.
Depends what version of Photoshop you have, put I'm sure there is a custom shape tool in the tool bar section and that has loads of arrows already loaded....(CS4, CS3, CS2 & CS all do..)
Download a font of symbols, find a nice arrow shape, then rasterise the text layer.
http://www.dafont.com is a good start.
sounds like you should be in illustrator or indesign (or quark) - do you have any of those?

Cheers all - went for the 'make a square - rotate etc option' in the end - however, have bookmarked other suggestions 😀
jooled - off to look at your suggestion - i'm CS3 - had expected to find something already loaded, just could not see anything...
