Loading Selections

Loading a selection reactivates a selection that was saved as a channel. When you load a selection, you can replace the current selection, add it to the current selection, subtract it from the current selection, or intersect it with the current selection. For more information, refer to "Combining Selections Using Boolean Operations".

To load a selection from a channel

1. Do one of the following:

• Choose Select menu > Load Selection.
• Click the Load Channel as Selection button on the Channels palette.

2. In the Load Selection dialog box, choose a channel from the Load From pop-up menu.
3. Choose a loading operation:

• Replace Selection replaces the current selection with the chosen channel.
• Add To Selection adds the channel to the current selection.
• Subtract From Selection subtracts the channel from the current selection. In other words, the channel "cuts away" from the selection.
• Intersect With Selection determines the intersection of the channel and the current selection. This intersection becomes the new selection.
