Am I understanding correctly that you have a picture of a person (without a frame), and you need to apply a circle frame to it?
Personally, I'd do that in GIMP. If I didn't already know how to do it in GIMP, though, it would probably be faster to do it with shapes in Storyline.
For that kind of frame, I'd start on the outside (bottom object) and work my way in:
Grey Square (bottom)
Donut with a Shadow effect
Circle with no border. Right-click-> Format Shape -> Fill -> Picture or Texture Fill -> Insert from: File (insert your photo file. Depending on how the positioning looks, you may have to crop the photo with your photo-cropping software of choice). (top)
Another approach is using the built-in image frame effects under the design tab. Drag the handle to make the object round. You can add a stroke around the edge and remove / change the reflection effect.
I have installet GIMP in a danish version. It is a great program. Her is my first try with a background and cirkel make as shape in AS and save save as picure as PNG.
And in GIMP I make the last ting - It is a good way to try if I need som more changes with the picture then AS have.

Here you go, Bo.
All done in Storyline.

That is a fantastic way you show mere there, so I can combine shapes and images and it works perfect, so YES it is possible in AS

I have try it but I cant not get it 100% round
I try to send it so you can see what I mean.
It seam that I not can came any longer whit the littel yellow one.
What do I wrong?
Bo,
Right-click the picture and select Size and Position then see below.
So it was because it was a rectangel, and is it I should go and do what you show me.
A fast way to do it also.
