Let's say I spend a lot of time and select the outline of a flower,
Convert it to a layer and work some more. I have not flattened any
layer.

Then I want to modify the selection of the flower e.g. enlarge it. Can
I get the exact flower shape selection back and work on it as a
selection?

I seem to remember seeing on some webpage a key shortcut to do this. I
cannot find it now.

Thanks
