Restoring marquee selections
You can restore a marquee selection that you have previously named and saved.
To restore a marquee selection:
- Select Select > Restore Bitmap Selection to open the Restore Selection dialog box.
- The Document box displays the name of the active document in which a marquee selection has been saved. You can either leave that name as is, or select another one from the pop-up menu if you would rather restore a marquee selection from another open document.
- The Selection box displays the name of the selection that will be restored. If you want to restore a different selection, select it from the pop-up menu.
- If you want to invert the restored selection, select the Invert box.
- If there is no active marquee selection in the current document, then New selection will be enabled in the Operation section of the Restore Selection dialog box. If there is an active marquee selection in the current document, then all of the following options will be enabled in the Operation section.
- "Replace selection" replaces the active selection in the active document with the one specified in the Selection box.
- "Add to selection" adds the active selection to the one specified in the Document and Selection boxes.
- "Subtract from selection" subtracts the active selection from the one specified in the Document and Selection boxes.
- "Intersect with selection" intersects the active selection with the one specified in the Document and Selection boxes.
- Select an option in the Operation section, and then click OK
Repeat this process for each of the marquee selections that you want to restore.
