I managed to accomplish this a few weeks ago, but I can't seem to remember just how I went about it.
How do I apply a selection made on one image onto a different image, sort of like a copy-selection/paste-selection ?
To avoid confusion, I am meaning the actual "marching ants" selection, not the selected part of an image.
Thanks for reading.

I'm not sure you were able to do that. I couldn't figure out how to do it.
Of course, now someone will come along and prove me wrong.

The photokaboom website has just proved me wrong. Living and learning! Photoshop Elements>Moving SelectionsIf you want to move ONLY the selection outline (marching ants) to another file, see the section titled: Move the Border of a Selection to Another Photograph -- Drag It to the Project Bin/Photo Bin Method |

Thanks, guys.
I knew I had somehow accomplished it not too many days ago; however, whatever I did did not involve the project bin though, as I have kept it hidden for so long that I forget it is there.

You can bypass the Project/Photo Bin if you so wish. Have the two images displayed side by side in the workspace (Window>Images>Tile). Then, follow the instructions on that website but drag the selection outline (marching ants) onto the other image in the workspace, instead of onto the thumbnail in the Project/Photo Bin.

Now that I reflect upon it, I believe that is just what I must have done; I use the tiles feature all the time to drag layers from one image onto another. I am always doing things and the next day I have no idea just how I accomplished it. Thanks for pointing out the information at photokaboom; I saved it to favorites. |

The easiest way I have found for me is to have the two image files opened. They don't have to be tiled and you can even have your project bin closed/hidden - you just need to see the two file tabs at the top of the workspace, Make a selection using whatever means you like in one image. Then Edit->Copy (or ctl-C on Win.). Then click the other file's tab to go to that file and Edit->Paste (ctl-V on Win.)

Hi deprosq, welcome to PSE&M!
Yes, this is another way to do it and a very easy one. Thanks for bringing it up! Unfortunately, BuckSkin is using Elements 7. Adobe introduced this feature -- tabs/tabbed images -- in a later version of Elements. The two images won't be displayed as tabs at the top of the workspace in Elements 7. This means that he will still need to use Window>Images>Tile.

I can see where tabs for images could be wonderfully convenient; just click from image to image.
