Note: When you edit paint objects you can edit pixels in the images
by selecting channels in the Channels palette. However, when you
edit other objects, you cant select the object channel. You can
show or hide the object channel, but you can edit pixels only in the
channel mask.
Selecting views in the Transparency palette
You can use the Transparency palette to change your view when you
edit a channel mask. In channel mask edit mode, two buttons let you
select editing views. Click the triangle at the lower left to expand the
palette if necessary to display the buttons.

the channel mask visible in the channels palette.
