Photoshop is a very popular photo editing software that allows you to do many things with your photos. One popular feature is cropping. Cropping is when you cut out a certain area of the photo to make it smaller or to focus on a particular area.

There are many different ways that you can crop a picture in Photoshop. One way is to use the Crop Tool.

This tool is located in the Tools palette, which is usually on the left side of the screen. To crop your photo using the Crop Tool, first select the tool and then click and drag around the area that you want to crop. When you release the mouse button, the area outside of the selection will be cropped away.

Another way to crop a picture in Photoshop is to use the Marquee Tool. This tool is also located in the Tools palette.

To use the Marquee Tool, first select it and then click and drag around the area that you want to crop. The Marquee Tool will create a selection around the area that you have selected. To crop your photo, simply press the “Enter” key on your keyboard and the area outside of the selection will be cropped away.

If you want to crop your photo into a specific shape, such as a circle, you can use one of Photoshop’s Shape Tools. These tools are located in the Tools palette as well and include shapes such as rectangles, ellipses, and polygons. To crop your photo into a circle using one of these tools, first select the shape tool that you want to use.

Then click and drag around the area where you want to crop your photo. When you release the mouse button, a shape will be created around the selection. To crop your photo, simply press “Enter” on your keyboard and the area outside of the shape will be cropped away.

No matter which method you use to crop your photos in Photoshop, you can always undo your changes by pressing “Ctrl+Z” on your keyboard or by going to Edit > Undo from the top menu bar.

PRO TIP: Crop tool options may vary depending on the version of Photoshop you are using. When cropping a picture into a circle, make sure the “Constrain Proportions” and “Resample Image” options are both selected in order to maintain the original aspect ratio of the image. If these options are not selected, the image may be distorted.

To conclude, there are many different ways that you can crop a picture into a circle in Photoshop using various tools.
