I CS6, I want to take a square picture and do it in an oval

I have a square picture and I want to be a part of the image in an oval.  I then take this oval and a copper engraving in typography. I tried to crop photo and selecting the oval but the image inside th disappers oval.  Help, I am new to this software and aid assistance and manuals are of no use.

How to fix this depends on what tools you use.

An image should always be retangular, and crop tool will always fall into this form.

If you want just the central area of oval shape of your image is visible and the rest to be of solid color or transparent, there are several ways to achieve this.

One way is to use the elliptical selection tool to create an oval selction of your image. Then you can apply a mask to the layer (click the mask at the bottom of the layers panel, which looks like a gray rectangle with a black circle in the middle).
