Deleting Selections - Adobe PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS Manual

4 In the dialog box, select from the following
options:
• Paste as Pixels to have the artwork rasterized as it
is pasted. Rasterizing converts mathematically
defined vector artwork to pixels.
• Paste as Shape Layer to create a new shape layer
that uses the path as a layer clipping path.
5 If you chose Paste as Pixels in the previous step,
you can choose Anti-alias in the options bar to
make a smooth transition between the edges of the
selection and the surrounding pixels.
(See "Softening the edges of a selection" on
page 108.)
6 Click OK.

Deleting selections

To delete a selection, choose Edit > Clear, or press
Backspace (Windows) or Delete (Mac OS). To cut
a selection to the Clipboard, choose Edit > Cut.
Deleting a selection on a background or on a layer
with the Lock Transparency option selected in the
Layers palette replaces the original location with
the background color. Deleting a selection on a
layer without Lock Transparency selected replaces
the original area with the layer transparency.
