selection with channels


Recommended Posts

you can use the channels in the channels panel in the bottom right (default)

in the lower ones you can right click and use "create greyscale layer

 

and you can go to layer > rasterize to mask to use a greyscale layer as a mask

 

ans you can cmd click on a layer to load it as a selection and go to select > save as spare channel and then do add and subtract actions with the spare channels

 

I´m not the best one to explain this but it´s definitely possible and I guess it will be improved

 

- I had a pixel selection and used right click on a spare channel "add to pixel selection" but it did not seem to work - both pixel selections had to be loaded from spare channels

- maybe someone can check this out - maybe it was also my fault

Hi,

And when the greyscale layer is created ... go to the develop persona and improuve exposure, contrast, black point, clarity, to have a nice B&W layer ... and then make a selection ... and a mask !!!

Works nicely
