Limiting photo to selection

[DejanD]

Hi everyone!

I am learniing UVW unwrapping in 3ds may and i have a problem, which i dont know how to solve in Photoshop.

Lets say i have a map, photo with 3 circles objects in shape like circles. I select one object with quick selection tool.
Now here is the catch. I want to put edited part of another image in that selected circle. But i do not want: delete the selected circle(keep the layer) and i do not want that image goes across the selected circle.

Simply. I want to put anothe image in selected circle and free transform it must not go outside selected circle boundaries.

If u have link to tutorial covering that or some tips i would appreciate it, i spended so much time on that.

Thank you!

Hi DejanD and welcome to PSG!

Without examples it's hard to understand what your needing.

Take a look at this tut:

Simple. Grab your circle marquee tool and make a circle. make a new layer, fill this layer with whatever color you'd like. Now, open the image that you want to be inside of this circle and bring it into your document (The one with the circle). Once you do this, put the image layer directly above the circle layer. Hold down your ALT key (Or w/e it is on a mac), and click between the image layer and circle layer. This will constrain the image to the boundaries of the layer below it. You can do this with triangles, stars, etc. GOOD LUCK!
