get the rest.

Hi G,
Peter's answer is correct, but I'll make it more verbose.
There are three steps, you've done the first.
1) Drag out a WHITE circle over the area of your image you
want circular.
For placement, you can temporarily, reduce the opacity so you
can see through your circle. You must set it back to 100% for the
next steps, though! You can change the opacity in the Layers panel.
Select the circle object, then click on the arrow next to the
number 100 and drag it down.
2) Select both your image and the circle you just dragged out
Once you create your circle, it's selected. The easy thing
here is to hold your CTRL key (if you're on Windows, I think it's
Option on a Mac) and click on your photo. You can also use your
selection tool and click and drag an area that includes parts of
both your photo and your circle. Or, you can use the Layers panel:
click on one object then CTRL-click on the other.
3) Modify > Mask > Group as Mask.
A mask is somewhat like an old fashioned stencil. For your
mask/stencil, you create a second image. White parts of your mask
are the places where your picture will show through. (You can make
more complex masks, but let's not get into that here.) For now, go
to your menu and click on Modify, then Mask, then Group as Mask.
Using a mask doesn't crop the image, it only changes what
parts show through the mask.
