Next go up to the Edit menu and choose the Copy command or you can just press Ctrl+C here on the PC or Command-C on the Mac. Now switch over to the bad version of the moon, now it is as I said, impeccably selected, and that selection outline took us what, a minute to create maybe, which is why it's so…
