# Making a layer out of a selection

If you're made a complicated selection and think you'd like to isolate it from its current layer for some more advanced editing, Pixen can help you out.

To make a layer out of a selection:

Use the Layers > Promote Selection menu item.

The selected region will be removed from the active layer and placed into a new layer.
