Copy selection to a new image ?

    Like the title says..

    Is it even possible to copy a selection to another image/canvas?

    I copied it by right-clicking and it created a "channel", whatever that is.. Only in the same image, though.

    Do I have to work in the same window, so to speak, and can I have two canvases in the same window ?

    You would normally copy the content into a new layer - Edit | Paste as New Layer.

    Yes, it is possible in Photoshop. Follow the below steps:
    • Make a selection
    • Copy the selection by pressing Ctrl+C or Command+C
    • Open the another image and just paste your selection by pressing Ctrl+V or Command+V
    Channels are best option to edit complex images as these are used to store image and selection information. For this, just right click and create a new channel and essentially the selection is saved as alpha channel. You can load that selection any time with in the same document.

    Of course, you can. Photoshop allows you to work with multiple canvases in a single window and multiple windows for single canvas either.
    Multiple Canvases in one window
    • Click on the Window option in the menu bar
    • Click on Arrange
    • Select option that you like, Tile Vertically or Tile Horizontally.

    Multiple Windows for One Canvas
    • Again go to Windows
    • Click on Arrange
    • New window for (whatever the name of your document).
