When you select an area using the "Select Area" functionality, the area you selected is saved and you can use it over and over again in the same editing session.

After selecting the area you must click on the "Confirm selection and browse effects" button in the left-hand panel.

After doing that, any time you want to apply a new effect to your image, you have the option to use that selected area. Just hover with the mouse over the Effects Gallery icon on the upper right-hand side of your screen (instead of just clicking on it), and you will see you have the option to show the gallery for any area that you have already defined. For example, if you have selected a "Background" area and a "Skin" area, it will say: "Show Gallery for background skin". Just move the mouse cursor over the name of the area you want and click on it. You will then be shown affects that are deemed appropriate for that selection and any effect you choose will be applied only to the selection.
