To Do the following

the selected layer from the Load From list box, and

enable the Replace Selection option.

You can also create a selection from a layer by choosing Load Selection from the Select menu. In

the Load Selection dialog box, choose the transparency of the selected layer from the Load From

list box, and enable the Replace Selection option.

Choosing the protected area of a selection

The drawing mode determines whether the inside or the outside of a selection is protected when you paint.

To specify the protected area of a selection

Choose Window Navigator.

Click the Open Navigator Settings button , choose Drawing Mode, and then choose one of the

following options:

• Draw Anywhere — disables protection by the selection. Brushstrokes are allowed anywhere on the

canvas. The selection is active only for applying effects and using the Cut or Copy command.

• Draw Outside — protects the area inside the selection

• Draw Inside — protects the area outside selection. This drawing mode is similar to using a stencil in

that only the selected region accepts brushstrokes.

Saving selections as alpha channels

You can create alpha channels to store multiple selections in a document. An alpha channel is a temporary

storage area for both path-based and pixel-based selections. To reuse a selection in other documents, you

can store the selection in the Selection Portfolio. It is important to note that the Selection Portfolio stores

only path-based selections. For more information see, “Working with the Selection Portfolio” on page

592.

You can create an alpha channel from the current selection to copy its editable and protected areas. You

can also combine a new selection with one that was previously stored in an alpha channel. To reactivate

a selection that was previously saved as an alpha channel, simply load it in the image. Loading a selection

reactivates it on the canvas, where it controls painting and image effects.
