| Hey, how do you crop a photo so that it's round without having any sort of border? |

if I understand you correctly, you'd want to use GIF or some similar format that suppots transparency so that your "border" takes the color of the background where transparency is supported such as Internet explorer

You might try the following.
In Photoshop, use a round selection (rather than rectangular or lasso, for example) tool to select the part of the image you want. Copy and paste into a new frame with transparent background. Save in a format that preserves transparency (e.g gif). Place the gif image on the web page and it will look like a circular crop. |

*gasp* GIF?! How about PNG instead. Then you aren't limited to 256 colors AND you can use alpha for smooth edges. PNG supports 32-bit RGBA (also 64-bit... because PNG totally kicks!) and has better compression than GIF. It also doesn't support animation... and that's a feature, for those of you who haven't been tortured by crappy web pages loaded with animated GIFs. :)
There was a bug in some version of Internet Exploder that didn't handle PNG alpha transparency right, if you have an old version, you might run into this. |

I think Internet explorer still has some problems with handling PNG files ( transperancy). I use Mozilla Firefox and PNG works fine for me.

And there's a recent libpng code execution exploit. :)
