Okay, so I have an image here (PIC 1) with several different pictures I want to cut out of it, to be able to make each of those cutouts its own file...

Then I select the marquee circle and select one of them:

And then I can copy that selection and paste it to a new file to be able to save that new file as its own PNG (CUTOUT A):

And back in PIC 1, I can move the marquee circle to be able to do the same thing with the rest of the things I want to cut out, ending up with 10 individual PNG files like CUTOUT A:

But now I will open a new image (PIC 2), similar to the first:
[ATTACH]61555[/ATTACH]
And I drag CUTOUT A into PIC 2, because I want to be able to do the same cutouts on PIC 2 and have them be the exact same size/shape as the cutouts I did on PIC 1:

But how do I then get a marquee selection from CUTOUT A? (I did a marquee circle in this image to show what I want to be left with, but what I really want is for that marquee circle to have been created from CUTOUT A, so it matches its size/shape.)

Merely making a layer mask of CUTOUT A doesn't accomplish that, or at least, if so, then there's some kind of step that I'm missing or not understanding. As I explained originally, in Corel Photo-Paint, there is a way to select an object as a mask, and then delete the object while retaining its shape as a mask that you can then use in the same way as the marquee selection here. Is there some way to delete the image (CUTOUT A) while retaining its shape to use as the marquee selection?
Or, there's a probably a simpler way to do that whole kind of thing... Maybe a way to define or save a marquee selection to be able to re-use it later? That would work, too.
