Selections & channels
Canvas gives you several ways to select pixels in an image. When you select groups of pixels by area
or color, you can use painting tools, filters, and special effects to modify the selected pixels without
affecting the parts of the image that are not selected.
This section describes how to make selections in images, save selections in alpha channels, work
with color and alpha channels, and create channel masks, which can make parts of images
transparent.
Selecting pixels in images
When a paint object is in edit mode, any filters, commands, and painting tools that you apply can
affect the entire image. When you have selected pixels in the image, the effect of a tool, filter, or
other adjustment is confined to the selected pixels.
You can select areas in an image using painting tools or menu commands. For example, you can make
rectangular selections by dragging the Marquee tool in an image, and you can use the Color Range
command to select groups of pixels based on color similarity.
