I love the cropping tool. It works great. It would be nice (and please let me know if I am missing this somewhere) ... If there was a tool to allow me to crop or frame my images into circles, ovals or rounded corners. I know there are shape options but they are opaque and don't work as a frame or rounding tool. I have checked out the frame options, but there is nothing simple for creating a circular picture. I do most of my image editing on my computer, but in order to maintain the file size to make the image useable here, it seems better to use the edit tools on the site.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice!

You can’t use the cropping tool to accomplish that, but you can use masking. I’ve been unsuccessful at finding a tutorial on how to do it here… (I’m on my phone, so it’s a little awkward to search) but I know that it has been explained. Hopefully someone will chime in with a link.

@PenguinPower ... Thank you so much ... I will play with that option and see what I can do. I agree with trying to get a detailed response accomplished on a mobile ... Your reply is super helpful!

Here is a test I just did (Saved as Direct only, so hope it is viewable).

It is best to have your image beneath the shape, so that you can position over the image as you want to appear after masking. Select the Image then the Shape (hold CTRL) then click on the MASK action.
