I am creating a website layout and I will have 4 pages, on each page the banner will have a different image.

The image is opened in photoshop and then using the marquee tool I create a pill like shape, cut the image and paste into my layout and then add my effects as necessary.

Now the problem is that as I am not using the same image for each page I need to be able to use the exact same selection size on each image but this is virtually impossible by memory.

Is there a way of saving the size of my first selection and applying the selection to the other images?

Thanks

Yes You need to bring all your layouts into one image on different layers, so in effect your layouts become one single image file. You can then simply click on any layer and the selection is availabe to that layer.
