Select the Custom Shape Tool (1:52), set the Tool Mode to Shape (2:19) and your shape color to black (2:47). Load Photoshop's custom shapes (3:01), choose a shape to fill with your image (4:17), and then draw the shape (4:49). Center the shape in the document (5:19). Open a photo to place inside the shape (5:41). Select and copy the photo (5:43) and paste the photo into the document (6:11). To fill the shape with the image, create a clipping mask (6:27) and then resize and move the photo inside the shape (7:38). Change the background color (9:01) to better match the image, and then add a stroke around the shape (10:52).
