Spectre you said "You can get the marching ants of each selection area by control+clicking on the alpha channel icon, " if I use the Alpha method suggested by Stroker

however when I control click on the Alpha channel icon I get 2 choices which are, "Duplicate channel and Delete channel"  I don't get the marching ants.

I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what it is. [confused]

Thanks for the last method you suggested after a few  hiccups I was able to get  it to work .  I'm using PS 7 with the Mac so maybe there are some minor differences.  You said (Yet another method: first select the parts that you want to edit... then CTRL+J they are now copied to a new layer.) Well when I used the CTRL+ instead of copying it to another layer I got a list of 12 possible choices.  I tried the one that said ( Layer via copy) and it worked.

Thanks for your patience for an almost 70 year old I  get a bit thick sometimes.
