Making selection

When i try to select a part of an image. I get the following message:

 

Couldn't find an object to select.

There might not be enough edge contrast, or the object might be too small.

Hi @Allison25861772cp6n ,

See @Derek Cross' suggestion up top.

Ensure you have a layer selected.

Are you sorted?
