srg Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I often select a subject from a photo then duplicate it and then I manipulate it. The idea is that I save the possibility to go back to the imagewith the selected area, usually the main subject with the marching ants around it, but that is not the case. When I inactivate the duplicate ayer and reactivate the first that contained the selection, the selection (marching ants) does not show anymore. I tried with "selection from layer" but this does nothing, and the "reselect option is not active. What can I do to save a layer with a selection in it?

Staff stokerg Posted July 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hi srg, There a couple of way to do this, once you've made the selection you can click Selection>Save Selection As Spare Channel. This will save the selection as an extra channel on the Channels Studio. To reload this, just view the Channels and you'll notice a channel called Pixel Selection, if you right click this and select Load Selection. You can also use the Selection>Save Selection>To File option and this will export a file with just the selection and you can then reload it by using Load Selection from File on the Selection menu srg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
