I thought I was beyond beginners mistakes – not so. Please Help. I have a bird (the feathered kind) that I wish to move from one location to another.
I am quite a fan and fair expert at the pen tool and prefer that to make accurate selections. This time things have gone wrong. I use a pristine (unfiddled) picture and make a copy to work on. I then bring the pen to bear. When I go to Paths and use ‘Make Selection’ I get two selections, the bird and the whole frame of the photo – not what I want at all.
When I try to move it or copy and paste somewhere else, the whole of the picture is copied rather than the bird selection.
I have got round the problem by using the mask selection and that work well. Why has my old friend the pen tool denied me :-)????????????????
