I need to clip out a circular part of a photograph and then place that image on a printed page with text wrapping around the circular photograph. I’m using Photoshop Elements 7 and Publisher 2007, both running under Windows Vista. I know how to wrap text around a circle in Publisher.

Should I use PE to create the photograph in a circle? If so, how?

Can anyone suggest how I can proceed?

Hi Gordon,
I’m not sure about PE but in Photoshop I would use the eliptical marquee tool. Holding down shift while you drag across the image will create a perfect a circle. Ctrl J will copy it to its own layer. Double click the background layer and then delete it. Save the resulting image as a PNG file.

In MS Word (I assume Publisher is similar) I would then insert the image into the text and select "Text Wrapping / Through". That should wrap your text around the image.

Best of luck.
