Hello there, lets say i have a blue circle on one layer and another circle in red which is a bit offset on another layer. So you have something like the mastercard logo. Now i want a exact selection of the blue circle. Like clicking with comand on a photoshop layer. Is there any way to do that?

OK I think you can accomplish that with masking.

"mask layer content".  once you have the mask you copy it, and paste it into the layer that has the other circle.
(note that you can invert the mask too).  Then you can flatten the mask.

However
if you use "lock transparency" feature (on that circle layer), it is kind of like selecting, depending on why you are trying to select the circle.

    If you select the layer you want then click the dots at the bottom of the menu on the right hand side. There is an option to Copy layer. That's the closest you'd get to selecting.
    Depending on your accuracy you might be able to use the selection tools, specially the circle tool in this instance.
    Other than that there doesn't appear to be a specific, select this colour, shape etc type tool in Fresco.
