Once upon a time my computer used to do what I told it and now seems to have a mind of its own. Before when I wanted to copy and exact part from one pic and lay it on another (e.g. fix orions core by placing a shorter exposure over the blown out core) I used to do the following.

1. Magic wand -> select area --> feather--> save selection.
2. I would then open the second image and load the selection which would select the exact same area of the shorter exposure, then hey presto, copy and past into the new image.

Now I seem to have an extra drop down box (channel) in the save selection menu that was not there before. I can still do part 1 but it will not let me transfer the selection to the second image. Any ideas/solutions most welcome.
