Edit selection as layer

When entering this mode, your selection is temporarily presented as a pixel mask. Pixels can be added or erased using the standard painting and erase tools.

Painting in black will erase areas from the selection.
Painting in white will add areas to the selection.
Painting a gray will vary the opacity of the selection depending on the tone of gray used.
Erased areas are always removed from a selection.

By default, while in this mode your page will show with a translucent, red overlay. After painting in white, the resulting untinted areas will not be included in the selection. This default view can be changed depending on your preferences.

To edit a selection using Edit Selection as Layer mode:

With the Selections Persona active, from the Commands menu, select Selection as Layer > Toggle Edit Selection As Layer.
Tap or drag on the page using any pixel-editing tool. Painting with white or gray will 'unmask'.
Repeat step 1 to exit the mode and return to display the selection as a marquee.
(Optional) To create a layer mask using the current selection, from the Layers Studio, select New Mask Layer.

To change Edit Selection As Layer view:

From the Commands menu, select a 'Show' option from the Selection as Layer sub-menu.
