Thank you very much for helping me create an oval image of my wife and I from a group photo image. I am looking forward to watching other tutorials as well.
Thank you for this video. I like your style of teaching utilizing clear explanations of the tools with no distracting background music and no repeating music between pauses. You go right to the point without using flashy gimmicks as in so many other irritating how to videos.
I am using Photoshop 18 in my Mac OS. I am so grateful for all that I have learned in your video tutorials and I love the way you explain things - very clear, concise and just super amazing. There is just one thing left I was unable to make: Cropping photos into shapes. My Free Transform blocks the image in black shape and the selection of shapes is surprisingly few!
The best tutorial I have come across, I will be certainly watching more of yours. They are easy to follow with clear, easy to follow instructions. Thank yo so much!
Hi Rick , I have been trying for some time to use the cutter to outline a heart shape. Needless to say I was not doing too well because like many other users I was using just the shape ,and not the solid black. I was so happy when your tutorial popped up to show me how it should be done.I am now using for all sorts of things. Many thanks .Michael.
You could put more than one photo inside but you'd have to combine the photos together first. Here's a link to a video I did on blending photos together: ruclips.net/video/0WXJFrrbeU4/видео.html
Thanks Rick, good explanation. If you were to choose a frame and wanted your picture to show through, all you would have to do is have the picture the same size and the opening and frame positioned below the picture, correct? Rich
+MrMoonpie001 Good question Rich. If the Cookie Cutter Shapes could just be drawn out on a blank Layer above your Background Layer then that, for the most part would work (you still would have to deal with getting rid of your photo around the outside of the frame). But because the Cookie Cutter acts like a Crop tool, some of those usual "rules" apply.
Hello Rick...my name is RISH...and I have been a teacher in art and a counselor in the public schools system, and I want to tell you that your videos are among the best that I have seen...nice and slow...very well explained...very professionally done. So, here's my question to you. I am an old fart of 71 years old, I am using Photoshop 7 (because it's mine and I don't have any payments) =0)...and I have made one of my promotional photos successfully into an oval---partly with your help. Do you have a video that will tell me how to place a red frame around this oval? As I've looked for tutorials but, 7 is too old and I can't find any [except in India]. So, if you could help, I would appreciate it.
Rick, I have a question I just can't find an answer to. Is there a way to save the cropped photo (like the dog with the stamp shape in the video) withOUT the white background or the transparent checkerboard so that the actual "shaped" photo can be used the way it is? I think someone asked a similar question referencing the jigsaw puzzle shape but her question wasn't anwered. Thanks! Donna B
Thank you for all your videos! Im stuck with PSE 11 and want to make a puzzle effect. ( I see that 12-14 all have that handy feature one way or another.) Do you have a video Im just not seeing here? THANKS AGAIN!!
Hi Rick, I did the crop and feather. I'm trying to make an oval crop out of my photo to insert into a photo but I keep ending up with a white rectangle around my oval. I'm trying to make just an oval crop without the white showing up in the background. Can you tell me how to do that please?
I'm a struggling newbie on photoshop. Glad I found this video. I learned a lot. Thank you!

Your tutorials are absolute perfection! Many thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I don't use the shape tool very often, but after following your video I'll be looking for ways to use it more. Thank you. Keep them coming.
Why are your tutorials so perfect? Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Rick for these very easy to follow instructions.
Thank you so much man! I have been looking all over trying to find this! It’s so hard to find tutorials for older versions of Adobe Photoshop!
You're welcome!

Hi Rick, thank you so much for this video, so clear, well explained. Is it possible to insert more than one photo inside one same shape? Thanks!

+Robert Buchanan You're welcome Robert, glad you found it helpful.
How do you get rid of the transparent area? So that when you save it to .jpg you dont have a white boarder around the shape you created.

How do you change the size of the shape you choose?
Thank you for all your videos! Im stuck with PSE 11 and want to make a puzzle effect. ( I see that 12-14 all have that handy feature one way or another.) Do you have a video Im just not seeing here? THANKS AGAIN!!
Can I create my own shape or can I only use the shapes available in the elements program?
rick, will u be able to show how to only crop the dog out excluding the background images of the grass please ?
Thank you Rick, I Love it

Can I crop a circle shape that has not got a square background frame. I want to end up with a purely circular shaped photo.
Thank you so much!!
+Tammy Shockley You're welcome Tammy.
very good tutorial, i did it :-)
But that is not cropping, that is masking. Isn't it?
Yes you could technically say that. I called it cropping because you're deleting pixels on that layer instead of hiding them with a mask.
