I've fiddled and searched for hours for an answer to this problem. 
Maybe someone here knows the GIMP or can tell me where to look.

I have a square photo of a flower. I have used the elliptical tool to 
make a circle around the flower, inside the square perimeter of the 
picture. The part of the picture outside the circle is unneeded 
background. If I click the quickmask button that area turns red. I 
want to save the contents of the circle and remove or crop-out the 
masked area. 

What I want to end up with is a round, cameo-shaped photo. How do I 
accomplish that? 

I'd like to do more to it, like put a picture-frame effect around it, 
but I don't understand even the basics of layers. At this point I'm 
willing to pay some $$ for a little one-on-one tutorial. Would anyone 
be willing to let me email them the photo and talk me through some 
basic steps over the phone? If so, write to me off-list.

Thanks!
