The Quick Selection tool finds the full edge automatically, selecting the entire sand dollar. Leave
the selection active so that you can use it in the next exercise.
Moving a selected area
Once you’ve made a selection, any changes you make apply exclusively to the pixels within the
selection. The rest of the image is not affected by those changes.
To move the selected area to another part of the composition, you use the Move tool. This image
has only one layer, so the pixels you move will replace the pixels beneath them. This change is
not permanent until you deselect the moved pixels, so you can try different locations for the
selection you’re moving before you make a commitment.
Tip
If you deselect an area by accident, you may be able to restore the selection by choosing
Edit > Undo or Select > Reselect.1. If the sand dollar is not still selected, repeat the previous exercise to select it.
2. Zoom out so you can see both the shadowbox and the sand dollar.
3. Select the Move tool ( ). Notice that the sand dollar remains selected.
