General
A selection is a 32 bit image, that can hover over an image. You can drop the
selection, and then it will be a part of the underlaying image.This is a good
technique to multiply, resize, rotate a.s.o. parts of the image. When you paste an
image or insert a text it will become a selection. You can copy selections into the
clipboard also. You can create a selection using the "Selection Tool"
When the 
"Transparency of the selection" option is selected the selection
will be transparent, the underlaying image will show trough. When the selection is
dropped this option is used to merge the two images.
Modify a Selection
The selection can be modified through the image adjustment
dialogs. And flipped,
rotated, shifted with the adequate tools. On the sides of the selection there are
small buttons. You can resize the selection by dragging these buttons, or using the Dimension dialog.Using the "Edit / Original Size" menu point you can reset the
size of the selection.
You can find the menu commands for the selection in the main
menu Edit men:. · Using the "Edit / Select All" (Ctrl+A) you can select
the entire image.
· Using the "Edit / Fit To Screen" (Ins) you can resize
the image so that it
covers the entire image
· Using the "Edit / Original Size" (BkSpc) menu point you
can reset the size
of the selection.
· Using the "Edit / Bring to Front" (Home) menu point you
can bring a
selection in front of the image.
· Using the "Edit / Send to Back" (End) menu point you can
send a
selection behind the image.
Dropping The Selection
The selection has always a data type of 32 bit. When dropping a selection with a
bigger bit count on a lower bit count image we have the option to change the
palette of the selection. This can be set in the Preferences window. When pasting
a bigger image over a smaller image we have the option to resize, or to crop the
selection. The default action can be set in the Preferences window.
Drag And Drop
If the option "Selection can be dragged between windows" is checked in the
"Preferences dialog" then you can drag selections between windows. If you drag a
selection on the the IcoFX workspace then a new icon will be created from
selection.
