This question show also why Select/All may be confusing ; the meaning of "All" seems a quiz:
What the heck Select/All will select ? 1) "all" inside the current layer boundary 2) "all" inside image boundary 3) "all" inside canvas boundary as guess 1) looks good as the others ,even more probable, but will be a wrong answer Maybe adding another option as "Select/All in active layer" would help to make concept clear and be of some practical utility On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 10:40 AM, Adam Majewski <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Dnia Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:29:26 +1030 >> David Gowers <[email protected]> napisal(a): >> >>> > I would like to know how to make selection for whole layer >>> > and only area of layer. >>> > (should it be named "layer to selection"?) >> >>> It is, in fact, named 'alpha to selection', in the layers dialog.
