Photoshop help!

Photoshop help!

I have a load of photos I want to use on a website but I dont want them all to be boring rectangles.

I want to know how I can create photos with rounded edges or any type of random shape.

I think it involves using 'masks' but I cant find anything specifically related to just photos and shaping them.

Anyone help me out with a fairly straight forward method?

don't think you can crop stuff into shapes in photo shop, i've never found out how, but i may be wrong.

What can ya do it in?

you could use the erase background tool, but itts just like rubber so it would be quite time comsuming.

as for programs that do i haven't a clue sorry

its so annoying..... I wouldnt have thought it to be very difficult but I just cant seem to find anything on it or figure it out myself!

I've tried drawing a rectangle and cutting out an elipse from its centre then placing the photo between that layer and the background, which worked ok.

But I really wanted rounded edged photos... :spangled:

1. Select the rounded rectangle tool, draw one over your picture

2. Right click in on the shape and select 'make selection'.

3. Ctrl, Shift & I to inverse selection

4. Delete

that would work, OR

at step 3) Do 'Copy Selection'

4) and "Paste as a new image"

i think?!?!

i was looking for that but couldn't find it:think:

works in PaintShop Pro, might be different in Photoshop

Why not just create a new layer and then create a round selection..

Delete the selection and export as a JPEG..

Spot on cheers for that.... cant believe I missed that.

Nee bosh!
