How to Select CTRL + Click command

[Dariusz1989]

Hey

Frustrating but I cant find it...

I know there is selection.selectAll but I want to select only pixels in channel so... :

doc.ActiveChannel.select.select < ??

or

doc.channel[5].select.select ??

basically select pixels and then fill layer using selection

Regards

Dariusz

You can load a channel as a selection usinak acyion manager code.  I would also think you coul also add to the selecton by adding accitional channels to the selection.  The Acyion managet load may look something like this:

// ======Load Alpha Channel Selection===============================

function loadAlpha(channel) {

  var idsetd = charIDToTypeID( "setd" );

     var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();

     var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );

         var ref1 = new ActionReference();

         var idChnl = charIDToTypeID( "Chnl" );

         var idfsel = charIDToTypeID( "fsel" );

         ref1.putProperty( idChnl, idfsel );

     desc2.putReference( idnull, ref1 );

     var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T   " );

         var ref2 = new ActionReference();

         var idChnl = charIDToTypeID( "Chnl" );

         ref2.putName( idChnl, channel );

     desc2.putReference( idT, ref2 );

  executeAction( idsetd, desc2, DialogModes.NO );

}

Hey

Yeah I know, but I was hoping I could do something like

selectionR = doc.channel[1].select.loadSelection()

selectionG = doc.channel[2].select.loadSelection()

selectionB = doc.channel[3].select.loadSelection()

do stuff with selectionR etc etc. So I can go back to it at will...

Also DOM Selection method:

load (from[, combination][, inverting]) Channel. SelectionType boolean

Loads the selection from the specified channel.

var channelRef = app.activeDocument.channels.getByName("my channel");

SelectionType DIMINISH or EXTEND or INTERSECT or REPLACE

The selection behavior when a selection already exists:

DIMINISH: Remove the selection from the already selected area.

EXTEND: Add the selection to an already selected area.

INTERSECT: Make the selection only the area where the new selection intersects the already selected area.

REPLACE: Replace the selected area.

Used in PathItem.makeSelection(),

Selection.load(), Selection.select(), and  Selection.store().

I use the Action manager code I posted to load the Alpha channels I have in collage template PSD the Map the Shape Size and image location on image in collages.  The Alpha channels must have the required names.  :"mage 1",  "Image 2", ..., "Image N"

I use the function I posted above. To load the Alpha Channels so I can size position and mask image layers to shape.

loadAlpha("Image " + imageNumber);
