I have made the cover of the book blue.
I have a photograph of the author, full length, which I want to "cut out" to stick on the blue.
At the moment, if I place the photo on the cover, I get the person, then the white background of this rectangular photo.
If I were doing this on paper, I would be clipping round the image of the person and glueing them on to the blue cover.
How do I do this in Photoshop? I realise from what you say that I must make those white pixels behind the person invisible or transparent. But how?
The InDesign guide says this must be done in Photoshop before importing.

Firstly you must know that there is no such thing as a "round image". All images are square or rectangular - some have transparent pixels, though. These pixels fool our eyes by hidding themselves - but they are there!
So what you need to do is to select a square/rectangle area. and use the copy paste command or drag and drop.

So far I've created a clicking path but the instructions then say to click on Make Work Path but this isn't highlighted and I can't get any further. I also can't see which tool to clip round with.

Any hints?

Thanks.
