I want to select with the lasso tool, copy the selection and paste it in the same layer. But the only "paste" option I've found is the one in the layers menu that creates a new layer. How can I paste in the same layer? Thanks!

I do this all the time. I just cut, paste to new blank layer, line it up then merge with the target layer.

Voici la solution :
Sélectionner une zône, Clic sur les ... dans la barre de gestion des calques puis clic sur Dupliquer la sélection, ensuite nous pouvons, la déplacer sur le même calque.

Hi Jorgen.

Will it work for you to just duplicate the selection then move that duplicate wherever you want to move it on the same layer? If that will work you'll see that selection option when the Lasso tool is selected.

Let me know if I've misunderstood what you're needing to do.

Hi Sue,

Thanks! Yes, that would work, but how do I duplicate the selection (working on an iPad)

Best,

Jorgen

Darn, I started writing out the instructions for you and realized that even that creates an additional layer. I could swear there's a way to do it though so I'm asking around now.

I'll let you know what I discover.

Sue.
