How do you crop images into a circle on Adobe Photoshop?
I'm trying to fix a rectangular image into a circle, but I can figure out how! Does anyone know how to crop a selected area in a circular shape on Adobe Photoshop?

To crop to a circle, us the Marquee tool. Put your curser on the tool and hold the left mouse button down. Choose the round marquee from the popout box. Use this round marquee to draw a circle around the portion of the picture that you wish you crop. You can make a sharp cutout or you can feather the edges of the cutout by changing the feather to 5 or more pixels. If you want a perfectly Round cutout, hold the "Shift" key down while creating your circle or "selection". If you find that the selection that you have made isn't exactly what you want hit control and D at the same time to erase your seledtion.
Once you have made the selection you can drag it to a new canvas of just click Image and then Crop.

Better way is to make the circle marquee as an alpha channel or layer mask channel. This way your image still intact so that you can edit again in the future. For example, you can move your image or move your mask freely. Just remember to unlink the layer and the mask layer, and click on the layer to move the image or click on the mask layer to move your mask (the circle).
