Making selections

Rod Corston

I'm brand new to ON-1 Photo raw and having used Photoshop on my Mac for many years, I'm now making a slow transition to Photo Raw.  
I wonder, is there a selection tool I can use to surround / select a specific part of an image to allow me to copy and then paste it to another area of the current, or even into another image.  I'm hoping to find something like Photoshop's Square, or Elliptical selection tools.

I'd appreciate any help from out there.  Best wishes. Rod

  Dan Harlacher of On1made a teaser of what is coming in the next couple of weeks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU8wT81qXxc might be what you are looking for.

  Rod, the features you're looking for are coming later in the month (see attached preview). Don't expect them to work the same way that Photoshop did. These features will only copy or move within the same layer.

  If you want to merge something on one photo with another, then in Photo Raw you would need to use layers. Mask out everything except what you want in a photo on the first layer and adjust the object over the other photo on a second layer. There are plenty of examples in the ON1 video library and YouTube.

  Edit: Forgot to mention, you should have the user guide open for reference while learning.

  Note, the new 2023.1 (17.1.0.13508) update was released just this morning with the new copy/move features.
