Hello, I'm not sure of the terminology in Photoshop, but I'm trying to do what I would call an "offset." If I make a selection, can I then take that selection and adjust it to move it out/in by a certain distance? I could have sworn that I had done this before, But i can't remember how to do it. Thanks,

Hmm. Sounds like the menu option Filter->Other->Offset ?

Are you talking about resizing just the selection (marching ants)? If so then use the menu option SelectTransform Selection. Or SelectModifyExpand or Contract.

If you want to do an "offset" like the Autocad command then you would first need to create a copy of the selection. To move the selection, you can use either the "free transform" or if you want more precision than "numeric transform."
