removing background and can not seperate copy form original

[Anthony R]

Good evening.

I have been removing images from their background using the trace tool in Pixel Persona.  After I refine the image, I copy and past using the shorcut keys.  However, I can not seem to remove the copied image from the original.  It is seperated from its original location, but still in the same operational box so I can not control it as a single image.

I have attached the document to clear up my discription.

 

Tnanks again for all the help.

You have a pixel layer sitting between Artboard1 and Artboard3 in the layer stack. It’s currently overlapping Artboard3, but if you move it straight up or down so that it doesn’t overlap either of the artboards you should get a clearer picture of what’s going on, and you should find that you can work on it further to separate the objects it contains.
