"Live" update of selected regions

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way to update a selection made with any of the selection tools. After the selection is made I often would like to make it smoother or to change the threshold (expecially when selecting by color). Acting on the selection controls (smoothing radius, threshold, ...) has no effect: in order to make the adjustments, I need to re-select from scratch the region.

Is there a way to do this without selecting from scratch again and again?

Regards

Marco

You could convert the selection to a path, and, at demand, proceed vice versa (path -> selection). Then you could, say, feather the selection, or whatever. This way, you wouldn't have to select the same area again. That's what comes to my mind instantly.

HTH,
