represented by a full-fledged grayscale channel. The dashed line that you normally see is simply a contour line at the 50%-selected level. At any time, though, you can visualize the selection channel in all regions. What, then, is the dashed line that appears when you create a selection? The dashed line is a contour line, dividing areas that are more than half selected from areas that are less than half selected values ranging from 0 (unselected) to 255 (fully selected). The marching ants are drawn along a contour of half-selected pixels. Thus, what the marching ants show you as either inside or outside the boundary

It is a contour line, dividing areas that are more than half selected from areas that are less than half selected often more efficient, and use the Wand less. Still, it is useful for selecting an area within a contour, or touching up imperfect selections. It often works very well for selecting a solid-colored (or
