HOW TO CROP in PHOTOSHOP CS?

[wahpahdotcom]

I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer for anywhere. It's hard to explain. Maybe it is not possible. But how do you crop something to a custom drawn selection? *I am not just talking about the type of cropping that you turn the path into a selection and then invert the selection and hit delete. This still leaves white space around your selection while the picture is still in a rectangular shape. I am talking about so that the actual picture file is in the shape of your path... Anyone?

i think he wants a clear background in the image because you cant make an image that isnt a rectangular format. if you want a clear bg then you have to make it and save your final as a .gif or a .png (png has a better resolution but is not supported on all all browsers.)

Yea, you can't have a non-rectangular picture.
