How to use silhouettes in iOS 16?

iPhone 13 Pro Max w iOS 16:

I see I can click hold to create a silhouette in photos, but how do I use the silhouette? If I click off or drag off the silhouette it disappeared. I spent weeks creating silhouettes the old pre computer days, I love this ability now.

Press and hold on the portion of the photo from which you want to create the silhouette. Once the silhouette is created, release your finger and wait a few seconds for a menu to pop up with Copy or Share as options. I usually press Copy, then in the app I wanted to paste the silhouette I paste it.

Guess I didn't wait long enough. Thank you.

Its incredible how much time I used to spend creating silhouettes. Now, just click and drag. Unbelievable.

Once you hold and let go, and the "share" option appears, you can actually save it as an image and go from there.

Would be nice if it was possible to copy and past into another image.

It's on the clipboard. Paste away.

It wont paste onto another photo in Apple Photos but maybe in another app.

Yes. It will work in a photo editing app.
