Diamond Shape Cut Out…

I want to lift a diamond shaped section from an image, then over type some text i.e. Pillock on board……. ideally, i’d like to put a coloured border round the diamond shaped image…

This one might be easy to some but i cant do it…..

I have some pictures that I want to cut out some diamond shapes from them…. what i’m aiming to do is make some personalised signs for the back window of my car, the sort of thing you often see, such as baby on board etc…

Can any kind person give me a clue as to how to cut a diamond shape and then put a border to it.

Many Thanks

🙂 Making the polygon with 4 sides and turning the cursor a bit snaps it to 45 degrees.

To each his own!

and you can then free transform to elongate , or shear etc etc
or use the pen tool and draw it with that and distort using the bezier points, choices choices choices !

What am I doing wrong ? My 4 sided polygon, creates a 4 pointed star. Which setting has reset itself wrong ?

It always easier to make things difficult than simple.

Go to the bar above the canvas. See the little star-shape? Click on the tiny black arrow. Uncheck "Star".

Now you have yet another tool! Cool, this stuff, eh?
