Question 1
To load a selection in programs like Adobe Photoshop, go to Select > Load Selection, or hold Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) and click a layer’s thumbnail in the Layers panel. This highlights the visible areas or transparency of the layer. You can also load saved selections from the Channels panel.
This technique is useful because it helps you isolate specific parts of an image for editing without affecting the rest. It allows for precise adjustments, making tasks like masking, coloring, or applying effects more efficient. You can also reuse saved selections, which saves time when working on large projects or repeating edits.
Question 2
To fill a selection with the foreground color, press Option+Delete. For the background color, press Cmd+Delete. You can also go to Edit > Fill and choose the desired color.
This is useful for adding solid colors quickly, whether for painting, design, or editing purposes. Shortcuts make the process faster, while the menu option gives more control over blending and opacity.
Question 1
Loading a selection in Photoshop implies recovering a saved selection to continue working on it without having to re-select the area manually. To load a selection, you can go to the “Select” menu and choose “Load Selection”, where you can select from the available channels. Alternatively, if you already have an active selection, you can save it to use in the future by going to “select”, then “save selection”, and allowing you to give it a name to identify it. This technique is beneficial because it saves time, especially when working on complex projects that require multiple editions in the same area. By loading a selection, it guarantees the order in the edition, since it allows you to apply the same adjustments or effects repeatedly without the risk of altering other parts of the image. It improves the efficiency and precision of the workflow, which makes its editing process more fluid and organized.
Question 2
To fill a selection with the foreground color you can use the keyboard specifically oppressing option + Delete, in the same way, you can utilize the keyboard if you need to fill the background simply using the Command + Delete.
i agree that saving and loading selections are indispensable in keeping preciseness and uniformity across complex projects. They are very effective in tasks such as applying effects or adjustments to the same area because they won’t be repeated every time, rather direct application and adjustment.
