Combining Multiple Selections
|
|
|
| There may be an obvious answer to this question that I've overlooked so I'm
hoping someone can help me out.
I'd like to be able to make multiple selections in a document, that is save
each selection to a separate alpha channel, and then merge all of these
separate selections into a single selection. I would see using the colour
selection tool to make my selections and then use the resulting selection as
a layer mask.
I've tried creating a couple of separate alpha channels but they seem
resistant to merging using the merge layer command.
Anyone have any suggestions or have I missed something obvious?
TIA

After you have saved your selections, you can merge them the following
way.
1. Choose 'load selection' and select the first one
2. Choose 'load selection' and select the second one.
Check the 'Add to selection' button'
3. etcetera, etcetera

Or go to the channels palette and Ctrl-Shift click each alpha channel.

| Thank you for both responses. I knew there had to be something I was
overlooking.
