Photoscape question.

When using the circle crop for coins, how do you get rid of the corners and have JUST the coin? I cant seem to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    You can add a background color while you crop roundly. I don't know if this is what you want, but it removes distracting background images.
  • I am able to add background color, but I am looking to just have the coin and no background color at all. I am sure it can be done, but I cant seem to figure it out.

    I think that when saving as a JPEG or any image type, you must have a rectangular image. So the background must have a color. When saving as a Photoshop document (PSD) you can leave it with no background, but i don't know anyother way.

    Yep. Often, the limitations of the JPEG images are the bane of my being. I want a circle picture, darn it!

    It can't be done in any program technically. What do you want it for? A collage or posting a round image on the internet/etc.? The latter cannot be done (at least to my knowledge), and many programs can do the collage, photoshop being the best imho, but also the most expensive. PS Elements 5 can be found for ~$30 or so and does plenty for what 99% of people would use it for.
