Pixel selection (like Cmd+Click Layer on desktop)

[n8r]

there are multi-step workarounds for getting the desired results -sometimes- but not for every workflow or intention.. it's soooo simple on desktop, i don't know why it's not a quick option in the layer panel itself: "Make selection from pixels" - sounds like a winner to me

i often use a selection of pixels to create new layer masks or edit others on different layers - the flood/smart selection tools are very touchy and are never 100% accurate! please add
