In PSE11, how do I "crop" a photo into a circle?

I would greatly appreciate step-by-step instruction on how to "crop" a photo into a circle in PSE11.
I've created an invitation for my daughters 1st birthday and I want to add a circular photo of her on the invite, but I can't seem to figure it out.
I understand that I can't technically "crop" it but I need the image to appear to be circular by using the transparency feature.
Again, I need a step-by-step as I'm still new to PSE11...
Thank you!

I'm curious as to why reply#1 didn't work. That is basic PSE stuff. Was the selection still active with marching ants as asked in reply#3? Perhaps somehow the selection was deleted before doing the inverse.
If you do get that to work, note that you first must convert the picture to a "regular" layer by renaming it from "Background" to anything else. Then the deleted portion will be replaced by transparency. If you do the delete on the Background layer the deleted portion is simply replaced by the color defined in the background color chip on the toolbar.

How do I crop a photo to the shape of a star?

I'm working on this tacky Hannah Montana thing for a design interview. I need to crop her photo into the shape of a star.

Use your Shapes tool in Draw a Path mode. There are stars provided in Custom Shapes.
Create the Star shape, and with the path targeted, Cmd Click on the Mask icon in the layers palette to create a Vector Layer mask.

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

How do I move a photo into an album in the new Photos application?

How do I move a photo into an album in the new Photos application?

The simplest way is to show the Sidebar at all times - you can reveal it with options-command-S ⌥⌘S.
With the sidebar visible, you can simply drag the photos from the Moments or other albums to the album in the sidebar. You can select and drag multiple photos at a time by selecting the first photo, holding down the shift key and selecting more photos. If the album does not yet exist, select the photos and press ⌘N for "File > New album" to create a new album with the selected photos.

From a PC, how do I store a photo into Photo Stream so that I can access it on iPad?

From a PC, how do I store a photo into Photo Stream so that I can access it on iPad? Like, a Word document can be dropped into iCloud from my PC and it will appear when I open iCloud from my iPad.

From your Windows desktop
From your Windows desktop, drag any photo to the Photo Stream Uploads folder you chose in the iCloud Control Panel.
Note: Photos in Photo Stream appear in the order they were originally taken, not in the order they were added to Photo Stream. If you manually add photos, they appear throughout Photo Stream in the appropriate date order.
For a list of file types that can be added to Photo Stream, go to the Apple Support article Photo Stream FAQ and see “What photo formats does Photo Stream support.”

How do I crop finished photo - PS CS 4?

Hello - I've finished a photo and have flattened all the layers, and even unlocked the new flattened layer, and now I want to crop this photo, but when I go to Image, the crop feature is grayed out - how do I crop away unwanted portions of this photo? Am running photoshop CS 4.
Thanks in advance.

Right, you should make a selection first, and then the Image > Crop command is available:)

Cropping a photo as a circle with blurred edges

Help!! I should know how to do this - in fact there used to a
tutorial with it in I'm sure!! Can't find it though.
I am trying to take a photo, crop it so that it is circular
and blur the edges so I can insert in into a web page later using
Dreamweaver. At the moment the target page is white, but I would
like to be able to do this blurring into any baclground colour.
I'm sure I have done it before (Maybe in Fireworks 4 - I am
now using Fireworks MX) but I can't remember how - I can crop the
picture by drawing a circle and using "paste inside" but I can't
get the circle to detach from the "hidden" full picture and can't
remember how to blur the edges.
Help!!!

Draw an ellipse on top of the photo and fill it with white.
Change the
edge property of the ellipse from Antialiased to Feather.
Select both
the image and the ellipse and choose Modify > Mask >
Group as Mask. You
will be able to adjust the fade off at the edge by adjusting
the feather
amount.
The only way to export the image to fade into any background
is to
export it in 32-bit PNG format. Unfortunately, it will not
display
properly in Internet Explorer without first applying some
proprietary
markup called the Alpha Image Loader Filter. You can learn
more about
that here:
http://www.playingwithfire.com/test/pngbehavior/demo.html
Another option is to export it in SWF format and apply wmode
transparency.

quote pgs 337, 338, Chapter 11 of the Manual:
1 Add a clip to the Timeline with a frame size that doesn’t match the current project’s frame size (resolution) settings.
2 Select the clip in the Timeline.
3 To open the Video inspector, click the Inspector button in the toolbar (shown below),
and click the Video button at the top of the pane that appears.
4 Choose a method of conforming frame size from the Type pop-up menu in the Spatial Conform section of the Video inspector.
• Fit: The default setting. Fits the clip within the project’s frame size setting without cropping the clip’s video. Black bars appear on the sides of the frames that don’t match the project’s frame size (resolution). In the case of a standard-definition (SD) clip in a high-definition (HD) project, Final Cut Pro scales up the SD clip to fit the HD project’s frame size. In the case of an HD clip in an SD project, Final Cut Pro scales down the HD clip to fit the SD project’s frame size.
• Fill: Makes the clip’s video fill the project’s frame size. In the case of an SD clip in an HD project, Final Cut Pro scales up the SD clip to fit the HD project’s frame size. Cropping occurs along the clip’s longer dimension to allow the shorter dimension to fill the screen. In the case of an HD clip in an SD project, Final Cut Pro scales down the HD clip to fit the SD project’s frame size. Cropping occurs along the clip’s shorter dimension to allow the longer dimension to fill the screen.
• None: Leaves the clip’s frame size unchanged. If the clip’s frame size is larger than the the project’s frame size, the clip appears cropped. If the clip’s frame size is smaller than the project’s frame size, black bars surround the clip.

How do I move imported photos into an existing album in photos

I have a large collection of photos in iPhoto, arranged into events and albums.
If I now import from my camera i open up photos, not iPhoto.
After importing images how do I add specific images to one, or more, of my existing albums.
If I close photos and open iPhoto I can still import to iPhoto but the images do not appear in photos.

Enable the Sidebar if it isn't showing (View menu > Show Sidebar), then drag the photos into the album icon on the sidebar.

How do you move new photos into existing albums?

On an iPad how do you move a new photo into an existing album?

Or, from the camera roll:
Tap Select (upper right hand corner)
Tap the pictures you want to add to an album (you'll see a check mark in each selected photo)
Tap Add To (upper left hand corner)
Your albums will appear and touch the album you want to move the picture to and they'll go there
Note: They will stay in your Camera Roll as well

I have a photo slide show PDF file in an email. How to I transfer the photos in my camera roll on my iPad?

Well I guess you can press cmd + shift + 3 to take a picture of your whole screen or cmd + shift + 4 to take a picture of a selected area, that will create a file called "screen shot yyyy-mm-dd at hh:mm:ss.jpg" on your desktop then you just select those files and drag them into iPhoto.
