Delete a selected area
On deleting a selection on a background layer, the selected area is replaced with the background color or checkerboard background pattern
(transparent pixels).
Do any of the following:
Choose Edit > Delete to remove the selection. (If you delete a selection by mistake, you can choose Edit > Undo to get it
back.)
Press the Backspace or Delete key to remove the selection.
Choose Edit > Cut to cut the selection to the Clipboard. You can then paste it elsewhere.
Select and deselect areas using commands
1. Do any of the following:
To deselect selections, choose Select > Deselect.
To select all pixels in a layer, select the layer in the Layers panel and choose Select > All.
To reselect the most recent selection, choose Select > Reselect.
2. To show or hide selection borders, choose View > Selection.
Note: You can also deselect by clicking anywhere in the photo outside the selected area. However, you might accidentally
make further selections if you're using a selection tool that selects based on clicking, such as the Magic Wand tool.
