Deselecting an Image - Harveyshot - 06-26-2024
Gimp 2.10.38, Win 10 64
I opened a black image on a white background, I selected the black part, copied and pasted it as a new layer onto a new larger image (canvas) with a white background. Now, I cannot deselect the black part I pasted into the new image. I selected the layer, tried ctrl+shift+a and Select/None but nothing gets rid of the marching ants.
Sure could use some help.
Thank you.

Have you tried merging visible layers? Or first creating a new layer from the pasted layer and then merging down from the same menu?

Have you pasted the selection (Edit/Paste) and is the new layer visible as 'Floating selection (Pasted layer)? In this case, click on the 'floating selection' (in the dock) and choose 'To new layer'.

Is it the marching ants (moving) or just the layer boundary (fixed yellow/black dashed line?). If the later it is not a selection it just tells you where you can make changes. If you want to add things outside of the area you just pasted in, Layer > Layer to image size .
