Re: [GD-General] Photoshop CS3 question

[Daniel R. <re...@ce...>]

Hi hp,

the list is not dead - just, well ... :)

photoshop:
i can't believe that they removed that feature - it's more likely another UI 
change.
try the following: go into the channel tool (where you can select each 
channel separately) and klick on the alpha channel while holding ctrl (or 
was it shift? or apple key?) - this should create a selection (mask) that is 
exactly the values of the alpha channel.

cheers,
  daniel
