Select the marquee tool and begin to draw the space that you wish to copy.

Once you have selected what you want to copy, simply copy this area using keyboard commands (press and hold ctrl then tap c) or right click on your mouse and selecting Copy.

Next you’ll need to create a new canvas. To do this you will need to select ‘New Image’ from the File drop down.

Just set your desired canvas size in pixels and click OK.

At this stage you will have a new blank space for you to use however you like: we’re going to paste the copied text into this canvas. Paste by using your keyboard controls (press and hold ctrl and tap v) or right click and select Paste.

Once the paste process has been completed successfully, you will find the area that you copied neatly presented within the new canvas space. You’ll be able to move this around or add anything else you like to the new image.
