save selection as a gif/jpg/... without reducing the layers to 1 layer

[sa5cha]

Hi,

I am searching for a hint on how to save a selection (and all the content i can see in it) to a gif/jpg/... without manually reducing all layers to one, then str+c,str+n,str+v,str+shift+alt+s and after that undo the reducing of the layers.

Does ther exists a better solution to achieve this goal ?


Thx Sascha

Edit/Copy Merged then just open a new file (it will default to the size of your selection) and paste. Hope this helps. Cheers~Frank

Hi Frank,

thank you for that hint.

I was using Photoshop since years and never used this function.

Thats exactly what i needed.
