To save and load color range settings, use the Save and Load buttons in the Color Range dialog box to save and
reuse the current settings.
Note: If you see the message “No pixels are more than 50% selected,” the selection border will not be visible. You may
have picked a color choice from the Select menu, such as Reds, when the image didn’t contain any red hues with high
enough saturation.

Move, hide, or invert a selection
You can move a selection border around an image, hide a selection border, and invert a selection so that the previ-
ously unselected part of the image is selected.
Note: To move the selection itself, not the selection border, use the Move tool. See “Move a selection” on page 258.

Move a selection border
1
Using any selection tool, select New Selection
from the options bar, and position the pointer inside the
selection border. The pointer changes
to indicate that you can move the selection.
2
Drag the border to enclose a different area of the image. You can drag a selection border partly beyond the canvas
boundaries. When you drag it back, the original border reappears intact. You can also drag the selection border to
another image window.
