Masks vs Selections


Recommended Posts

Hi. I would like to convert directly a mask to a selection. What is the usual way?

 

So far, tried the following on a photo with a female model ( long hair )

1. I made a selection with the selection brush and the refinement tool.

2. I created from the selection a new mask layer.

3. I saved the selection in the channel studio as a spare channel.

4. I reloaded the the pixel selection via the created spare channel and created another mask.

 

Now the unexpected part: The masks do not produce the same result. What is the reason? I wonder how the internal representation of a selection is different in comparison to a mask.

 

So, anyone knows a way that produces the same result?
