The problem is that there are going to be multiple rectangular selections in the same page that I want to move from the original layer into a new layer. And I want them to wind up in a *single* new layer, not a bunch of them. I guess that if each selection wound up in a distinct new layer, that I could hide the original layer then use Merge Visible Layers, but by the time all is said and done this will be quite a cumbersome process. And once I get my selections into the second layer, I still need to figure out how to save the two layers into independent TIFF files.
