Selection. Creates an active selection.
•
Layer Mask. Creates a nondestructive mask that produces

•
New Layer. Creates a new layer with only the selected area.
•
New Layer with Layer Mask. Creates a new layer with
only the selected area masked. This is the most flexible
option. Choose this option for this document.
•
New Document. Creates a new document with only the
selected area.
•
New Document with Layer Mask. Creates a new docu-
ment with the selected area masked.
