Image-defined Select Tool

Hi,

I have an image which I would like to adjust some areas of, around boundaries. The Select Tool does not really recognise the boundaries that well, but one of the other Edge Detects does quite nicely.

Having performed this Edge Detect and obtaining something which does cover the areas I would like to work with, I can then Select from this and have a selection which is fairly close to all the area I would like to then process.

My question is, how do I apply this selected region to the original image? That is, having filtered the original image so I have only the regions I would like to work with, and then having selected all of that region from the filtered image, how do I then apply that selection region to the original image, so I can then work on only the selected region?

Thanks

There may be a simpler solution, but:

- Create new layer - Layer/Mask/Add layer mask, and initialize from selection - Layer/Mask/Apply layer mask
- Hide all layers but that one
- Select/All
- Edit/Copy visible
- Move to original image
- Edit/Paste as/New layer
- Layer/Transparency/Alpha to selection

Hi,

...

My question is, how do I apply this selected region to the original image?

I think you want this-
- Duplicate layer
- Edge detect on duplicate
- Make selection
- Delete duplicate layer

You will have the selection still active on the original image.
