I've been playing with this technique. I'm getting quiet excited about what I can achieve with it. I'm also wondering - is there a way to save the selections? Usually I save my selections by saving them to a path. Of course, I recognise that paths are solid, so they won't save the gradations in alpha values. So, is there a way to save my selections, maintaining the different alpha values in them?
