[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 434230, member: 4373"]Open photoshop, but don't maximize it. Drag picture that you want it to be edited into the workspace. Should work. Otherwise use file > open and search for the file that you are looking for. If you are looking to crop a circular shape from the coin, do the following: Select the circle / elliptical shape from the toolbar. Hold the SHIFT button to ensure that you are making a PERFECT circle and at the same time, click from the top left to the bottom right corner. You can always adjust the circle later if it isn't perfectly in the center. Hit "layer > background from layer" and this will create a new transparent background Hit "Select > inverse" and this will select everything else that isn't in the circle. Hit the delete button You should have a perfectly cropped coin. I'm using photoshop CS2 although I heard the functions are slightly different from the older versions from 8.0 downwards. Note this will take a fair bit of time and practice so don't give up too early. It took me almost a week before I got the hang of it in my head.[/QUOTE]
