how do you do a fancy crop with photoshop have digital shot taken at a wedding of the new bride and grooms hands with their rings entwined on the bride's bouquet.. I wanted to do a heart shape cut out with faded edges and cannot find that feature in p/s7.. wound up downloading photo impressions and using their cookie cutter feature.. does p/s have those features or is that something considered beneath p/s users... I always liked using an ovel or round shape with faded edges for mother/child pictures..

can do a round-about with elipse marquee and layers. 1.Make a layer over the hand picuture. 2.Make a vertical oval shape with the marquee tool and fill it with any color 3.Use the polygon select tool and make a shape(triangle is all you need) so you can slice off part of the oval from the bottom center diagonally up. The shape of the oval and how you slice it affects the shape of the heart you end up with 4.Use magic wand and select the part of the oval that's left, copy that, then paste it, then use transform to flip it and rotate as you need. When you align the two oval slices they make a heart shape. 5.Merge the two and use magic wand and transform to compress or widen to the size you need 6. Once it's the size you want use magic wand and select the heart shape. Then inverse and feather. 7. Then activate the hands picture layer so your marquee is now on that picture. Cut, and you're left with a heart shaped cut of the hands. Then delete the top layer.

Need to add that when you feather the marquee, you'll also feather the outside edge. So you'll have to crop or erase the outer part out when you get to part where you isolate the hands.
