How can I keep my selection area on the background image or layer after doing a create new layer via copy?

I am trying to make a selection and an inverse of the selection and put each on a seperate layer to do adjustments seperatly without having to go back and reselect the desired area. It seems to disappear after the new layer is created.

Is there a better way to accomplish this, what am I missing?

Thanks

Ctrl-click your new layer (the thumbnail in the layer palette), to make a selection of its contents.
