Loading Selections
Loading a selection reactivates a
selection that was saved as a channel.
When you load a selection, you can
replace the current selection, add it to
the current selection, subtract it from
the current selection, or intersect it
with the current selection. For more
information, refer to “Combining
Selections Using Boolean Operations”
on page 212.

sen channel.

tion.

tracts the channel from the cur-
rent selection. In other words,
the channel “cuts away” from
the selection.
• Intersect With Selection deter-
mines the intersection of the
channel and the current selec-
tion. This intersection becomes
the new selection.
