I am trying to crop an image in Photoshop (PC) into a hexagon. When I select Polygon Tool from the lefthand tool menu, it only offers me a choice of 5 Point White Star or Red Star as options.I do not see how to select a simply hexagon as an option. Any help is much apprecited.

Thanks all. It look like Adobe changed the UI from a check box and a percentage to a just a ratio percent. Where 100% is equal to an un-checked star box. For anyone else with the same issue.

To clarify, while you can use a hexagon to mask an image, you cannot Crop an image into a hexagon. All images are rectangles.

Disable "Star" in the settings (shows as gear) in the Control Bar when the Polygon Tool is active. And change the amount of "Sides" from 5 to 6.

That's all.

Use the Sides field in the Options bar to key in 6. (I assume you are using the Polygon tool (U)
