How to Crop an Image into a Circle.
To crop an image into a circle using Photoshop, follow these detailed steps:
Import the Image: First, add your desired picture into Photoshop. For example, the tutorial uses an image of luggage.
Select the Frame Tool: On the left-hand menu, locate and select the Frame Tool. This tool allows you to create various shapes for cropping, including circles.
Choose the Circle Shape: At the top of the workspace, you'll see options for different shapes. Click on the Circle shape option to prepare for cropping into a circular form.
Draw the Circle: Click on the top-left corner of the image, then hold the Shift key to constrain proportions and drag diagonally until the circle covers the desired area. Release the mouse button once satisfied.
Adjust the Cropped Area: After drawing, the image will be cropped into a circle. You can move the background image within this circle to position the subject exactly where you want it.
Resize and Fine-tune: Use the Move Tool to reposition the image inside the circle or resize it as needed for better framing.
Finalize the Crop: Click off the shape or select another tool to complete the cropping process. The result will be a circular image that you can further edit or save.
