How do I unerase bits of what was deleted using magnetic selector

[Roy Stevens]

Hi

Wow! Your magnetic selector works great. Much superior to PS.

However, it's the same ol' me. After selecting then reverse selecting and deleting the background, there are a couple little bits I wish I had back.

How can I do that?

Hi Roy, if you've simply deleted the areas, you'd need to undo to get the image back as deleting is a destructive action. A nondestructive way of doing the same thing would be to make your selection, then Control-click the layer in the Layers sidebar and choose Add Mask. This way, a mask will be created from your selection which you can later refine (or even remove) to make the entire image appear again. You can learn more about layer masks here:
