How do I?

[Jorge Gasteazoro]

I have PS 7, and I am doing a little project that has nothing to do with photography. I need to know how to copy a shape and move it to another place, for example if we were talking about photography how to I copy a rock that is in the lower left and place the copy in the upper right. Any tutorials or instructions would be appreciated it.

Select it, using whatever tool is best;
if it's irregular, perhaps the lasso tool-
copy it (ctrl C), paste it (ctrl V)-
this will automatically place the shape on a new layer.

It might be useful to feather the selection-
at least 1 pixel, though possibly a lot more,
depending on the size of the selection-

Hope this makes sense-

Thank you J, makes sense with the exception of "feathering" is this a PS choice I can make?

Thanks J, I found the featjer tool... this was a lot of help.
