92 Manipulating Images

To cancel the selection (select nothing):

Right-click and choose Deselect, use the Select menu or press Ctrl+D.

The opposite of selecting nothing is selecting everything:

To select the entire active layer, press Ctrl+A, or choose Select All from the

Select menu.

For partial selection of opaque pixels, you can Ctrl-click the layer thumbnail (in

Layers tab).

If your image has multiple layers, and you switch to another layer, the

selection doesn't stay on the previous layer—it follows you to the new

active layer. This makes sense when you realize that the selection doesn't

actually include image content—like an outline map, it just describes a

region with boundaries.

Selection tool options

PhotoPlus offers a very wide range of other selection methods, and a variety of

commands for modifying the extent or properties of the selected pixels—all

available from the Tools toolbar. Note that the selection tools work on

Background and standard layers, but not on text layers or shape layers.
