Does anyone know how to do a circular crop?

One way is to select the area you want to keep using the eliptical marquee tool.
Then go into the select menu and choose inverse. Now the area you want to remove is selected.
Hit delete key and you've just got your cropped area.
You can then crop the background to be a tight fit and make it transparent or whatever colour you want.

On top of that, some tricks for the eliptical marquee.
holding shift will make perfect circles, holding alt will start from the center rather than corner.

Bonus points for:
set snap to ON, pull guides in from horizontal/vertical to the center of where you want the circle. use alt/shift and have a perfect circle starting at the intersection of these guides.

XO,
Cool, I'll have to try that.

Perhaps dyslexic aliens... instead of crop circles, they make circular crops... :rofl
