Hi everyone this is my very first post so go easy with me okay.?. I am trying to follow this tutorial from another site http://www.photoshopessentials.com/p...-in-photo3.php, but when it gets to the part after you have made the rectangular vector based selection nothing happens in my layers window, it just remains a blank layer.
Here are some ss's to help illustrate my point.

This is what should happen in the layers menu...




And here it is not happening in my layers menu...




Whatever i try i just can't get the blank layer to convert, any help with this would be very much appreciated

Im not sure mate, when i do somthing like that i just "cut via layer" and then add a stroke and drop shadow ect. adn then import the photo again at the bottom layer. if you cant get anyone to help you try that method it works for me

Hope this helps.
