Selection

A part of an image selected for manipulation of any kind—duplication in a layer, color correction, deletion, rotation, and so on. The selection consists of all the pixels—fully or partially selected—contained within the selection boundary.

When an object is selected, a selection border appears around the selected area (left). When the object is deselected, the selection border disappears (right).
