All you will have to do is instead of choosing the circle, choose a different shape.Ħ. Note: For this tutorial, I will be doing a circle, but you can also do other shapes and designs. In the left-hand menu, choose the shape option, then the Ellipse Tool. You then want to select what sort of shape you would like to crop the picture into. You can then just drag the original Background layer to the trash can, which is located at the bottom of the layers window.ĥ. You can keep it as “Background copy” or rename it something else.Ĥ.

Photoshop will ask you to rename the layer.

Do this by right clicking on the background layer and choosing “Duplicate Layer.”ģ.

This is important because the original background layer cannot be edited. Once you have your photo open, you are going to want to duplicate the background layer. The first step is to open the photo that you would like to crop.Ģ. Whether you are a blogger, a digital scrapbooker, or just want to make fun looking photos, this is an easy Photoshop CS6 tutorial using showing up how to crop a regular photo into a circle.ġ.
