				| 
 |  
				| Hello I use photoshop 7 for artwork and web images. I want to crop a 4.25"x4.25" square image making it a 2.225" dia circle.
I cannot figure this out but know it must be able to be done.

				| Can you not just use the elliptical marquee tool?  It gives the diameter as you stretch it, then cut it and delete the other layer x |  |

				| Yes I finally saw a UTUBE demo of that answer.
Now its still a square image on the base layer, but a circle where I cropped. Now I did all this so I can crowd a few of these images together on a word doc so I can save money printing. The problem is that word sees the square image and will not let me overlap the white edges so I can crowd a few images on one sheet.
 Any ideas how to defeat the restrictions in word so I can do this.

				| What is the end result you are hoping for, if I read your post right then I presume you want an A4 document filled with circles of different images (to save money on printing)? |  |
