Work on a pasted image in The Gimp

I want to cut out part of a screen shot and paste the cutout into another application.

1 - I do the Shift - PrintScreen 2 - In The Gimp I do File | New and paste. Now the screen shot is in The Gimp

But none of the Selection Tools can be activated. It sticks to the cross arrows that moves the image around the workspace.

Is it possible at all to work on a pasted image?

TIA Gert

Yes, you have to anchor the "pasted image"

Activate the Layers dialogue and you will see what is happening
