Trying each of these methods to select an area of a photo. I can duplicate the entire photo, but I cannot figure out how to duplicate just the part within the selection. The way that I can get it to work is to start with project using Import From Photos. When I do that I can make a selection, then switch to Photo persona and two-finger click duplicate. Only the selection is duplicated. I can resize the original image, move it around, whatever before I make the selection, the duplicate selection still works. But if I import a new photo to a new layer and try to duplicate, the entire image is duplicated. I assume that once I draw that selection, whatever layer I navigate to and select will be the target for my duplicate and only the portion of the image within the selection will be duplicated. But this is not working. This behavior is similarly replicated in this workflow: Import from Photos Select Area Two finger Invert SElection Photo Persona Two finger Delte Only the originally selected area remains. As expected. as opposed to: New Document Place From Photos Make Selection Two finger invert selection Photo persona Two finger delete The entire photo is deleted but the ants-marching remains and in fact the entire layer is gone
