Eddy-2 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I have a picture of an object I want to lift off the ground. In the example picture below, I want to get from the image on the left to that on the right. Using the Selection Brush, I can isolate the object (red) or the ground (green) and save either to a separate layer (Refine > Output >). However, when I save either red or green, I lose the other. Is there a way of saving both from the one selection process or another way of achieving the same end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 The reason the original disappears is because the layer is turned off. Try Cutting the selection (CMD + X and then Paste CMD + V) this puts the object onto a new layer. It will leave a hole in the original image but you can fill that in.

v_kyr Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Well cutting the pixel selection and pasting should give you a new layer where you can position the previously cut out object accordingly. In order then to have just one layer select the layers and merge them together. - Other than that, for drawing such geometric objects just use a rectangle and trapez shape which you can freely position then and if needed raster on demand.

Eddy-2 Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 To firstdefence Many thanks. Because the base of the object is irregular, I want to keep it and the ground as two pieces of a jigsaw. On a quick try, your suggestions seems to work.

Eddy-2 Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 To v_kyr. Thanks. Your suggestion seems to be along the same lines as that of firstdefence, which appears to do what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
