To copy the selection and offset the duplicate by 10 pixels, press Alt+Shift (Windows) or
•
Option+Shift (Mac OS), and press an arrow key.
As long as you hold down Alt or Option, each press of an arrow key creates a copy of the
selection and offsets it by the specified distance from the last duplicate.
To paste one selection into another (Photoshop):
1 Cut or copy the part of the image you want to paste.
2 Select the part of the image into which you want to paste the selection. The source
selection and the destination selection can be in the same image or in two different
Photoshop images.
3 Choose Edit > Paste Into. The contents of the source selection appear masked by the
destination selection.
In the Layers palette, the layer thumbnail for the source selection appears next to the layer
mask thumbnail for the destination selection. The layer and layer mask are unlinked—
that is, you can move each one independently.

For more information on editing layer masks, see
on page 318.
4 Select the move tool
to activate the move tool. Then drag the source contents until the part you want appears
through the mask.
5 To reveal more or less of the image underlying the layer, click the layer mask thumbnail
in the Layers palette, select a painting tool, and edit the mask:
To hide more of the image underlying the layer, paint the mask with black.
•
To reveal more of the image underlying the layer, paint the mask with white.
•
To partially reveal the image underlying the layer, paint the mask with gray.
•
6 If you are satisfied with your results, you can choose Layer > Merge Down to merge the
new layer and layer mask with the underlying layer and make the changes permanent.
