I using PS7 and have problem when using path tool or even lasso tool to extract some image and place into another document. Precisely, when using pen tool and finish around some object or person, then going to MAKE SELECTION I have marching ants around selected. Then tried with EDIT > CUT or COPY but problem start here. Selected not cutting or copying but that marching ants disappearing or in best I have cut pixels with shape of selected one and not image at all.
Also have problem when start using pen tool. Every move to the next anchor point a have space behind filed with foreground color.
Please is anyone know to explain step-by-step what I have to do or what I doing wrong?

When you Cut or Copy, the selected pixels go to the Windows clipboard.

That’s why you don’t see anything.

After you Cut or Copy,
go to the alternate document and Edit>Paste from that document’s menu.

———-<<<<<<<<<<<

The Pen tool has two options that affect what you are doing (the first two little boxes on the tool options bar);
1. Create a New Shape Layer – this is what you are using
2. Create a New Work Path – this is what you want

You may want to spend some quality time with the PhotoShop help files.
