I am going to try the circle and see what I get but I think I need to return my magic wand cause that baby ain't much magic to me now!  |
What you will see when you use the magic want to select the empty area of the circle on the template (making sure you have the right layer selected in the layers palette)
You will see marching ants in the shape of a circle. that is the selection.
Now when you invert your selection it means that you are selecting all the other areas outside of the circle. (make sure you are now on your photo layer) then cut.
Inverting will show you marching ants now around the whole square image with marching ants around the outside of your circle. This will leave you with the center of your photo as a circle.
This would probably easier to play with on a solid filled layer and practice selecting/inverting and cutting. then you get a really good visually of how inverting a selection works!
