In this video we are going to learn how to crop an image into a circle shape, or any other custom shape, in Autodesk SketchBook software.

Few weeks ago, on my video about cropping in SketchBook:
SketchBook How To Crop Canvas
   • SketchBook How To Crop Canvas  
robertrydlewski9538 asked: "can I cut circle shapes?"
So,..., in this video I will try to answer it.

Not sure if he thought about this, and did I helped him at all, but anyway, here is some kind of workaround for cropping an image into custom shapes in SketchBook app, because by default there is no option for that, as much as I know at least.

In short:
1. Create any kind of custom selection with Select Tool (circle,...)
2. Select everything around that selection with
Edit - Invert Selection (or press Ctrl + Shift + I)
3. Delete inverted selection
4. Crop your Canvas with Crop Tool closest to the new custom shape
5. Hide white Background layer to turn it into transparent
6. Save image as .png format to have transparent/see through background around it

And that's it.
For longer version and more tips and tricks watch complete video.
If you have questions or better technique to solve this problem, feel free to write down in comments.

So, don't waste your time, keep on sketching in SketchBook !!!
