    How do i crop a perfect circle?

    Try the elliptical marquee tool. It is usually the second tool from the top. You may need to right-click on the rectangle marquee as the tools are nested together. Hold down shift and drag over your image to get a perfect circle. Press Ctrl+J to create a new layer and turn off the background layer by clicking the eye symbol.

  • How do I crop in a circle?

    I just downloaded the trial version of Elements 9. I have had no formal training on the program at all. I want to crop some photos into a circle, but I can't figure out how! Can you help?

    There are many ways to crop. Here is one which offers lots of flexibility. No doubt other readers of this forum will offer other suggestions.
    Your picture when loaded into PSE has the default layer named "Background". First thing is to convert it to regular layer by renaming it; double-click it and enter the new name or simply accept the default name "Layer 0".
    Next, active the Elipse tool.  Holding down Shift, draw out a circle approximately the size you want (Shift forces the ellipse to be a circle). This creates a new layer named "Shape 1". Don't worry that the circle is a solid color and not in the exact size and position you want; we will fix this is a moment.
    Move the shape layer below the picture layer and group the 2 layers.The picture will now be cropped into the circle, with a checkerboard background indicating transparency:
    The nice thing about this method is that you can now resize and reposition the picture precisely where you want it within the crcle.  Select the Move Tool and with either layer activated use the mouse and/or arrow keys to reposition the picture. To resize the circle, with the Move tool selected activate the picture layer and while holding Shift drag any of the corner handles to resize (Shift preserves the circle). If you want to reposition the circle-picture combination within the picture's canvas, link the 2 layers and use the Move tool with mouse or arrow keys.
    If the picture is to be used for an application that requires transparency (such as MS Word document, Web page, greeting card program), save it in a file type that supports transparency. PSD, TIFF, PNG, GIF, EPS support transparency.  JPG, BMP do not. If you save it as jpg for example, you will not have transparency but instead a white background (which is maybe what you wanted in the first place). If you want a different color background add a blank layer at the bottom of the stack and fill it with your color:
    Like I said, there are other (and easier) ways to crop but this offers the flexibility of resizing and positioning.

  • Photoshop newbie ~ how to make a simple highlight circle?

    Hi
    I am a convert from Paint Shop Pro.
    Now with PSP it was very easy to take a screen shot and highlight a button or area on the image by drawing a hollow circle or oval and set the border color and width.
    I am struggling to find the best way to achieve this in Photoshop, any ideas please ?
    [ Please see example screen shot, taken from a user guide ]
    Many thanks..!

    I'm wading into this late, but for preparation of "how to" images I kind of like to do it this way:
    1.  Select the Ellipse Tool (I actually like the Rounded Rectangle Tool better in general).
    2.  Set it to draw a path only, and drag a path around what you want to draw attention to.
    3.  Create a new, empty layer.
    4.  Select the Brush Tool, set it to a few pixels in width, and not full opacity (say, 75%).
    5.  Choose a foreground color.
    6.  In the PATHS panel use the Stroke Path button to stroke the brush around the path created instep 2.
    7.  Add layer styles, e.g., drop shadow, bevel.
    8.  Use the Line Tool to draw arrows.
    9.  Use the Text Tool to add some text.
    10.  Copy the layer styles from the stroked layer to the other new layers (the style can be pasted onto multiple layers at once).

  • How to insert cropped images from photoshop without the white background

    Basically all I want to do is take a peice of writing from a video and insert it into another video. To do this I've took a screenshot of the font from the video and imported it into photoshop. I've then cropped/cut/took the the peice of writing I want, letter by letter. I want to be able to insert it into another video, but whenever I attempt to do it, I have the default white background of photoshop. Is there anyway to insert an image from photoshop, without taking the background with it, or even insert a layer from photoshop straight into final cut pro? Sorry if this is confusing.

    I don't think so. I cropped the letters, put them each an individual file, removed the background, saved them as a TIF then tried to import them onto Final Cut Pro, but a white background still appeared in the TIF file. Basically I just want to make the background transparent I believe.

  • How do I crop an image in Flash?

    I've been croping my pictures to use in my flash in photoshop but I want to crop the pictures so they fit the size of my page in flash. Does anyone know how to crop pictures in flash?

    There is no tool to crop the image, you can make an mask on it but still the whole image resides within the stage. May be you can break apart and remove the unwanted sides, but not for practice.

  • How do I crop a PDF with Preview.

    How do I crop a PDF with Preview.
    For some strange reason, when I crop a PDF using preview the rest of the PDF is still “their” when opened using other software.
    I truly want to crop a PDF and have the uncropped portions completely go away.  Do I really have to open Photoshop to do this?

    "there" not "their"  -  unless I am really confused about what you are doing !
    I put a white rectangle over what I wanted to crop out of the pdf I was working on.
    Not a  proper solution, i then needed to use "export as PDF" of my PDF so that the next user of the document couldn't simply lift off the rectangle I had put on the document to cover what ideally I would have removed.
    Add mark up is something else I tried, to black out the text that I wanted concealed, but we are limited to a slim choice of colours, not including black.
    I would like to see a function "crop" with "crop inside" and "crop outside" options. I am not familiar with Adobe or other software. Presumably since they invented it, Adobe is the place to go if you have repeated exercises requiring meddling with Adobe documents.

  • How do I crop a photo in Illustrator?

    I can't believe I can't figure this out. (I came over from Freehand, and it was simple).
    All I want to do is:
    1) Crop a placed photo within Illustrator
    2) Create a border around it.
    I can't seem to find the answer in any help file. Is it so simple in Illustrator that they don't explain how to do it? I don't want to create crop marks for the entire image, just crop off part of a photo without going back into Photoshop. How?
    Thanks very much.
    Mark

    If you want to totally eliminate content outside a mask in Illustrator (giving you a true crop), you can use the following method:
    Select the path that you would have used for the clipping mask and, instead of making a mask, fill it with, oh, say, white. Then, set the opacity for that masking object to 0% using the transparency palette/panel. Then, with that object and the underlying raster image selected, flatten transparency. (Use 100% vector on the quality slider and make sure the 'Preserve alpha channel' option is unchecked.) Ungroup the result.
    You should now be able to independently select the various portions (inside and outside the mask) and discard those you don't need. The links palette/panel will show you what's going on.
    You can use this method with multiple clipping masks in a single operation. You don't even have to initially embed the underlying image for this to work.

  • 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:)

  • How do I crop an image to 3.5 x 5

    I'm trying to match the size and aspect ratio of an older photo.  The old photo was printed at 3.5" x 5.0".
    How do I crop an image with Aperture to 3.5x5.0?
    Thanks.

    When you crop, the only control is the aspect ratio. You can crop an image with a custom ratio by selecting "custom" at the bottom of the aspect ratio popup menu in the Crop HUD that appears while in the Crop command.
    The size only matters when you print the image. In the print dialog you can set the size in inches of the printed image. The dpi of the printed photo will depend on the pixel size of the image divided by the printed size in inches.
    If you want to control the exact dpi of the printed image, you'll need a pixel editor such as Photoshop.

  • How do i crop "out" a piece of image=ex: how it will look when its cut for a window. Crop a white space in image?

    How do i crop "out" a piece of image=ex: how it will look when its cut for a window. Crop a white space in image?

    I think this will help if you are using version 11 or 12.
    Make a selection with a selection tool of the area you want to remove.
    Example: rectangular marquee tool - make a rectangle.
    Use Select>Refine Edge:
    Use the View section of this dialog box to see a few views.
    If you need to refine the edge of the selection (smooth, feather, shift, etc.) you can do that in this dialog box.
    You may want to check the box about remembering your settings in case you need to come back to them.
    In the Output section, you can pick New Layer with Layer Mask and click OK.
    You should see the hole in your image.

  • How do I crop an image?

    I have photoshop cs6 . How can I do it?

    In a very general answer to your question, since the most basic Photoshop instruction is kind of outside the scope of the forum, may I suggest using the Photoshop Help menu, choosing Photoshop Online Help, then entering Crop into the search box.  There's a wealth of information there, though at the moment the versions of Photoshop seem a bit jumbled up.
    A specific answer to your question is to do this:
    1. Open your image into Photoshop.
    2. Choose the Crop Tool from the Tools panel.
    3.  Either drag a rectangle around the part you want to keep, or use the little rectangular handles around the edges to move the edges in.  Move the edges around until you like the way the bright part, which indicates what will remain of your image after the crop, looks.
    4.  Press the checkmark near the top of the Photoshop main window in the options area to complete the crop.
