I would like to cut my son's face out of a picture in the shape of a star. I use Photoshop, does anyone know of a way to do this? TIA

You should have a star in your custom shapes tool. Draw your star. Then hold down the CTRL key while you click on the star layer (on the layer palette). This will make the marching ants around the star (You may have to rasterize the shape first). Use CTRL-SHFT I to invert your selection. Then click on the layer your photo is on and hit delete. You can adjust the opacity on your star layer to make sure it is where you want it to be. HTH!
