To clone a selection:

Select Edit > Clone.
The clone of the selection is stacked precisely in front of the original and becomes the

the arrow keys or Shift+arrow keys. This is a convenient way to maintain a specific
distance between clones or maintain the vertical or horizontal alignment of the
clones.
To delete selected objects, do one of the following:
Press Delete or Backspace.
Select Edit > Clear.
Select Edit > Cut.
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the object and select Edit > Cut
from the context menu.
To cancel or deselect a selection, do one of the following:
Select Select > Deselect.
Click anywhere in the image outside of the selected area if you are using the Marquee,
Oval Marquee, or Lasso tool.
Press Escape.
Transforming and distorting selected
objects and selections
You can transform a selected object or group, or a pixel selection, using the Scale, Skew, and
Distort tools and menu commands:
Scale enlarges or reduces an object.
Skew slants an object along a specified axis.
Distort moves the sides or corners of an object in the direction you drag a selection
handle while the tool is active. This is helpful in creating a 3D look.
