Hello All, I’m using PS-CS2 on PC and working with the Extract Filter on an image with lots of hair and here’s the steps and the problem;
Open the image – duplicate the background layer – de-highlight the background and now working on the new layer – (the eye is on for the new layer only)- open Extract – highlight around the hair and face – choose the fill command – all is fine – hit OK to select and it puts the image on a transparent layer – then I do a Control + Click in the blue area to select and place this on a new layer and nothing happens – no marching ants – nothing. From what I can tell, nothing else is selected to stop this from taking place, so I can’t get me selection to continue.

What step am I missing?
