Hi, I’m trying to do this tutorial to make a sphere:

On step two it says to hit delete after I contract and feather, but when I hit delete the entire layer deletes instead of just my selection. How can I delete just the selection?

Thank you for any help.

Hi jmDesktop,
I tried but I cannot reproduce your problem. The tutorial seems to work fine as written. Maybe you could try using the menu Edit>Clear command instead of the Del key just for testing.

Good luck,
Ron

It was me. I used a shape instead of the marquee tool. Sorry for the post.
