I have selected a portion of a picture with the eliptical marquee tool and feathered the edges, then inverse selected and cut the stuff in that area. However, when I print my picture or view it in Publisher, it still shows the corners of the picture that I thought I cut. Any way to get rid of those corners and basically crop the picture into an eliptical shape?
Thanks for the help.

By this do you mean that your canvas is still square or rectangular or that the actual photo reappears were it has been cut?

Sorry, I am rather new at PSE2 and not that familiar with the terminology. I have searched in two books trying to clarify if I am talking about the canvas or not and can not make a lear determination. The corners I am referring to are like ears on each corner of the eliptical picture that I have selected and feathered. When I insert the pictures into a Publisher document, the corners are nearly transparent but are still visible and the picutre has maintained the original rectangular shape instead of the eliptical shape I was hoping for. Hope that is a better explanation. Hard to explain but easy to see.
Thanks for your input.

That is normal, the canvas is supposed to retain it’s shape. I think what you are trying to achieve calls for transparency. Some tutorials may be in order here.

I didn’t mean to be so brief in my reply I was tied up with something else. If you are trying to use the photo on a web page or publication you will need to save it in a format that utilizes transparency to get the results I think you are after. The .gif and .png formats will support transparency. With .gif you are limited in color range and with ..png you are limited by the products that support it. If you go to the help menu in Elements and type in "transparency" you will find some answers.
