Selection tools — mask editing functions Control the mask
Be sure to understand the difference between "selection" as the selection mask , and the selection "content" (your artwork; actual color pixels contained within the selection boundaries).
The functions described below apply to the selection (mask) only.

Content editing functions See page 297
Select All Selects the entire area of the canvas
Invert selection Selects "negative" of current selection
Clear selection Selects nothing (this does not affect the content)
Transform selection (mask) Transforms only the mask, not the content. See page 326

The same set of functions is accessible from the Selection menu (see page 298 )
Note that you can also edit the selection mask with almost all regular editing tools, apply filters to it etc. For such editing better use color mask display mode (see page 299 for details)
