The Source, Target, and Auto-Select (Continued)
2. Transfer the Selection from Source to Target
A marquee—marching ants—was created using the
luminance (light and dark) of the photograph. While
the marquee is still active on the source, I clicked on the
target (Clone) to make it active and using Auto Select, I
created a selection using Original Selection.
Select > Auto Select > Using dropdown list > Select Original Selection
Repeat the process for creating a selection on the
source, but use Original Selection from the Using dropdown
list. The selection must be active on the source.
This technique can be used to transfer a selection from
one image to another as long as one is designated as the
clone source.
