Selection question

[puppychew]

Hi,

Let's say I have 10 windows on a house the same size and I need to select all of them. Instead of selecting each and every one, is there a way to select only one and copy the selection to the other windows?

Yes, there is few ways to do that.
That what i would do:
1. Make selection.
2. Save selection with name lets say "A".
3. Then in Channels palet CTRL+click on it (at first time it isn't actuall needed)
4. Selection apear.
5. Right click on selection and choose from droped menu "Transform Selection".
6. Move it, resize it etc. to next window.
7. Save selection by menu or little button at Channel panel botom (looks like grey square with white circle).
Repeat 5-7 how much necesary.

When all windows selection saved. SHIFT+CTRL+click on "A" and each Alpha chanell in Channels palet.

Done.

Thanks that worked.
Step 3 - was not able to cntrl click and 4 - no selection appear. I'm using CS5 if that matters.
However going around that it worked and will really save me a lot of time.
thanks, ken

Hmm...should work. If you saved it then Alpha (selection) channel apeared in Channel panel (looks like black square with white object in it).
Holding CTRL move mouse over it till "hand" changes it look to "hand" with white square then still holding mouse click on it.
At final step SHITH+CTRL should change "hand" to "hand" and white square with plus in it.
