the red layer is only in the " mask mode " just click on the normal mode to exit quick mask , plus when you copy the image into the mode you automatily get the right selction...   then "delete the area"  you may have to swich from normal to quick mask and back just to get a grasp on what things you ar effecting on the layer..tip hide a layer you are not working on just so you can watch what happens to the one you are working on
