very basic question about cutting photo to size...
hi everyone! Happy weekend!!
I have a VERY basic question that I can't believe I don't know the answer to! My DD has her holiday party at school next Friday and they're making little foam gingerbread ornaments with a circular photo cutout as the face. I took pics of all the kids individually at recess the other day, and now I just need to crop them into 1.5" circles, paste them all onto a 8x10 and have it printed! Then, at the party, each kid will assemble their own gingerbread person and put their photo into the frame as the head But I can't for the life of me figure out how to crop a circle at a specific size! Can anyone help? thank you thank you! Last edited by g8rbeckie; 12-11-2010 at 01:27 AM. Reason: typing on pain medicine is bad for explaining things well... |

Hi Beckie, I'd create a 1.5 inch circle using the circle tool (actually think it's called the ellipse tool) and then use that as a clipping mask for the photos.
Is that what you are asking? |

I would create circle size I need (make a large circle on a page and then go to image size and make it the size you need) and then use that circle as a clipping mask for the photos. As you go, just move them over to blank 8x10 page size.
Is that what you needed? Hope that helps a bit! |

thank you guys very much! ok...
so if I set the style to "fixed size" and use the circular marquis tool to create a circle at 1/5", it will be the right size? Then I'll just re-size each photo to fit my clipping mask. Just want to make sure I know which to use - fixed size or fixed ratio... thank you sooooo much!! |

Good luck with your project!
I use the ellipse tool, select fixed size and type in the size under width and height. (I make sure to type in how I want the dimension to be - if I need a 1.5" circle I type 1.5 and then in for inches for both). Then I use the shape as a clipping mask for the photos. Happy Holidays!
