[Photo - New Layer from Selection]

Having tried Photo today for the first time (come from years of experience of Photoshop) - one of the first things I tried was creating a layer from a selection. Copying pixels to a new layer is not what I need (as I would then need to remove those pixels from the layer underneath). Cut / Paste didn't remove the pixels, and place them on a new layer - which I thought was odd. I understand that I may need to learn how to do the same thing in Photo as I would in Photoshop, but when trying to perform a task takes a lot longer in Photo... well... that doesn't motivate me to use Photo.

[is Crop to selection possible]

I would also simply like a 'crop' option with a selection. I'm competent enough to make my own decisions as to whether I consider it to be destructive / non-destructive (trying out Affinity Photo with currently 26 years of Photoshop experience).
