I've only got the Free Adobe Photoshop Plus and it doesn't appear to have that feature.

You get what you pay for!

See if it works:-

Well I'll need to perfect my technique, but so far so good - from photoscape. Thanks @Paddy

 

 

 

By the way, this was the original:-

@Diaconis have you got the Pro version and paid for it? Just wondering as my free version gives only rectangular or circle/ellipse cropping, and you seem to have used a more free form version. (Not that I would need it often enough to want to pay for it!)

 

Paddy, it's called Photoscape X (for Mac) and it is free.

OK - the free Windows 10 version doesn't seem to support random edges, unless I am missing it somewhere. Not to worry - not a function I need much.

You wouldn't need that for coins - just use the circular crop.

Agreed - as long as you are dealing with circular coins. The conversation came up because of the trapezoidal coin example posted, which I would not be able to crop using my Photoscape. But I don't have any of those, so not a problem! 😊

I guess one of those Indian or Middle Eastern flower shaped coins would be quite a challenge, even with a free-format cropping tool.
