PSE 2021 guided object removal

[Frank5C47]

I like how cleanly Guided Object Removal highlights part of a photo. Can I copy the highlighted part and then paste it in another photo?

thanks

I don't think so.  But you can with the  Photomerge Compose Guided Edit found under the Photomerge tab:

Thanks. I will give it a try.

Greg,

I may have found a way that uses a layer.

Attached is my Word file describing:

Using Guided Object Removal

It works for me.

I hope it works for you.

I'd like your opinion.

[Greg_S.]

Yes, Frank, your method works.  But really all you are doing is using the Guided Edit to make a selection of an object.  Surely, you can do exactly the same in Expert mode, using the available selection tools.  I don't know of any difference between making an automatic selection in the Guided Edit and making it in Expert Mode. 

[Frank5C47]

I find the selection tools in Expert to be more time consuming and less
accurate because of my shaking hand. What tool do you prefer in Expert mode?

[Greg_S.]

I tend to use the Quick Selection brush.  Or if I am working with a solid color e.g. a sky poking through branches of a tree, then I will use the Magic Wand Tool.
