    Photoshop Tutorial for Cutting Out an Image

    December 9, 2013 by Ashley Mayes 3 Comments

    It's been awhile since I've done a "Pinterest Made Me Do It" post. I've had this one on my mind for awhile, but I just never sat down to do it. Well, no more. I'm calling this baby done.

    So, it all started with this photo:

    via Pinterest via Babble via Dot Com for Moms

    Isn't that photo cool? Well, I had an idea what they did (went to Staples for an Engineer print), but when I went to the site to check the specifics I realized the site was down. Bummer. Well, I got to thinking about it and just decided to make my own in Photoshop. So today, I have a Photoshop tutorial for making a circle photo print. If you don't have Photoshop, I'm sure you can do it in other software programs. This is just a starting off point for you.

    Follow along:

    Step one in Photoshop

    I like the ruggedness of the inspiration photo, but I have a whole session of Greyson's firefighter costume and I've only printed one! So, a firefighter photo was the way to go.

    You now have the image open and a blank document open: Blank document and image in photoshop before diecut Step three using elipse tool to create a circle

    I took my file to Stapes and had it printed as an Engineer print.

    Easy peasy!
