Circular Crop

[Mike Tracy]

Did a search on a couple forums and the web. None of the few techniques were simple and straightforward. All I want to do is make a circular crop. Creating the circle is the easy part but I still have white areas outside of it.

I hope this wasn't a stupid duhhhhh question.

Mike,

There is probably another way but this will work. BTW- You will need to save the image as TIFF or PSD.

Make the circle with the Elliptical Marquee tool, Image > Crop, then Invert the selection (CTRL Sft I), use the Background Eraser tool over selection to erase all pixels.
