How can I transform the borders of the square image into circular shaped borders?

[oceannssoul]

What the question says, how can I transform the borders of the square image into circular shaped borders?

I am editing this image so I can make a pin to wear on my clothes, and I already made a lot of them without problems but... I am stuck here.

I appreciate the help, thanks.

Step 1: Select the area you want to affect

 

Step 2: Add a new layer by pressing Ctrl+Shift+N

 

Step 3: With black and white selected, press Shift+Backspace to fill the selection with white

 

Step 4: With the shape tool, select Ellipse and fill

 

Step 5: Draw (in black) your circle

 

Step 6: Click the checkbox to turn off visibility of Layer 2

 

 

Step 7: Select Layer 1 (your original image) and run the Effects > Object > Apply Mask plugin (You do have my plugin pack installed, right?!)

 

 

Make sure "Invert mask" is checked and click the OK button to finalize your image.

 

Now, turning that square frame into a circle shape is going to be a challenge.  Try one of these Polar plugins:

Isolate the square border on an otherwise empty layer, then run TR's Drumskin over the layer.

I just thought of this after seeing your updated "TR's Drumskin" 😁
