Question
Hi

Hoep this does not sound like a silly question. I know how to select a circle part of a photo using elliptical tool but how do I then crop and save it as a circle without a square border.

Your advice woudl be greatly appreciated - pulling my hair out here!

Answer
Hi Marc,
Cropping can always happen in rectangle because in photoshop canvas cannot be circular. Only option would be a transparent background with the circular image.


After you select the circle part with the elliptical tool, right click and select "Make Selection...".
Then 'ctrl+J' or 'ctrl+shift+C' and 'ctrl+v'. to get that circular image in a new layer. Now delete everyother layer, and crop it.


all da best!
