This may seem like a dumb question, but how do you get a selection to apply. I draw a path around the area, refine it, but I still end up with the whole image rather than the part of the image that I selected. When I check options it seems to imply that a selection has applied.
I have had this program for years now, and I think it's fantastic, but this bit seems to elude me. I have tried everything, watched tutorial after tutorial and gotten nowhere. Some tutorials have suggested solutions, but tried it with the same result. So what on earth am I missing here? I'm sure it's something ridiculously simple, and probably staring me right in the face, but it's got me beat. What is the next step from drawing a line or a shape etc around what you want to select? Every single tutorial I have encountered seems to imply that the selection is automatic and the whole thing should just happen by magic, but that isn't happening for me
