I realize this tip is nothing new to the real pros here, but my god, I had an epiphany today, stumbling on this thing! And I've been using Photoshop for years.

You want to select on a new layer to delete the selection. But your selection goes up and down instead of at the angle you want. And it's either too large or too small. My (stupid) way was the hard way: fill the selection on a new layer, transform it, Cmd (PC Cntrl) on the layer to select it, move to the layer you want to delete from and delete. Trash the layer you created just for this thing.

Forget this nonsense. You have a selection? Select Menu: Transform. YOu get the exact same stuff you get on a normal, pixelated layer. Scale it, rotate it, etc. I can't tell you how excited I am about what many people take for granted, but I've just discovered!
