Other match mode for the Flood Select tool?

[CaroleA]

In using the Flood Select tool, I understand that it does select based on the color. Are there other settings to make the selection based on other modes, like the Opacity, Brightness, or other?

I don't know about Photoshop, but I know that PaintShop Pro offers six match modes. Does Affinity Photo only have one?

There are other select options under Menu>Select>

Oh, thank you. That is very well "hidden". I guess in using this, I cannot "add to the selection" or choose contiguous/non-contiguous. Am I correct?

All selection (tools) have their own options and you can switch between them without losing the current selection.
I think it always depends on the given situation/image what works best.

But if I use the Select > Alpha Range > Select opaque from one layer, and want to ADD a similar selection from a different layer, I would lose that selection, right?

Also, if I have 5 elements on a single layer, but I want to select only 2 of them, based on opacity, how would I do that?

On the other hand, if I have one main element on a layer and lots of "unattached" pixels, how would I select only the "main" one, and not the "unattached" sections?

I am trying to find a workflow for those things that I would do in 2 clicks with PaintShop Pro so I can convert some tutorials/classes to AP.
