how to invert the selection

Posted by Aeyoss Antelope on February 11, 2017 at 6:47am

Hello Forum:

I have used the most-famous photo editing tool for making composites. A well used technique for doing this is to aggressively use selections.

SA5 has an entire operation mode dedicated to this that has lots of cool features, but I cannot find in the doc or the program how to do the following:

- invert a selection
- move/drag a selection
- save a selection

TIA.

Regards..

    I'm sorry our online technical documentation is currently offline. There are tips there on working with Selection.

    There is a chapter on Selection Operation mode in the User Guide pdf.

    Try Canvas : Selection : Invert to invert the selection.

    The hot keys section of the Integrated Help browser has the hot keys for working with selection. Use the t key to (translate) the selection.

    If you want to save a selection as an image, set the canvas to the selection, and then save that image.

    As John said I use "t" to move(translate) the selection mask while in the selection mode. Another very useful one is "m", which will move the content along with the selection mask to wherever you drag it. Use "r" and the mouse/pen tool to rotate the selection mask while in selection mode
