walt.farrell Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Thanks for the screenshot. I'm not sure what's happening, but it may help someone else identify the problem. As for making videos, I'm pretty crap at it, myself.

ToniB Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 That's excellent Walt thank you.. It looks like i had to do a Windows + G to bring up an XBox Game Bar (I didn't even know I had one!! LOL) anyway, it looks like there was some photo/video buttons on there, I tested it and it seemed to work ok, so I hope to be able to do this for any future issues. Best wishes Toni walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i5963c Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Hi @TonyB, I think I see what you're doing 'wrong', based on the screenshot that you provided. When you try to make your second and third selections, you still have the copied layer of your first selection active (cf. the layer panel in your screenshot). This first selection layer only covers a small part of the canvas (on the right hand side). When you try to make a new (second and third) selection (on the left hand side), such selection is normally applied to the currently active layer (i.e. 'Copied selection that shrunk'), but this layer's area doesn't 'exist' at the location where you try to make your new selections (LHS). Therefore, prior to making any extra selections, you should first (re-)select your background layer in the layer panel. I hope this will work. It would be nice if you could report back whether it actually does. If not, a video with your precise actions may help in identifying what's going on. Kind regards.

i5963c Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 5 hours ago, ToniB said: When I moved it, the selection itself shrunk. What do you mean exactly with this 'shrinking selection'? I think that you misunderstood this element of the tutorial. Basically, what happens (according to my interpretation of the tutorial): You select a part of the background layer (i.e. without grass), and refine it. Then you move this part of the background layer to the top of the layer stack. This selection will overlap with (and thus hide) a part of the grass layer. So, the visible grass area seems to 'shrink' (because it's partially 'hidden' behind the top layer with a selection of the original background layer). But the selection itself doesn't 'shrink'.
