Not the selection itself. Just the marquee. Example: I have an elliptical selection marquee around an eye and want to copy it to use on the other eye. Four Photoshop books and the Help and I can’t find the answer. 🙁

Photoshop 7. Many thanks.

There’s probably a better way, but try this: make marquee, hit Q for Quickmask. With Move tool (or CTRL) move the "selection" over to the other eye. Then go Select>Reselect. The original marquee will show up. Fill with (or erase to) white and hit Q again. Now you’ll have two marquees.

Easier to do than describe.

By the way, by holding down Shift you can add as many marquees as you want but they won’t be exactly the same as each other.
