Hi synolog, thanks for your answer! I made some screenshots from a work in progress visualization I am working on. On the first image you see my scene, it had some different masks with it, one for each material. But when I load in one of the masks (image 2) and select by color and then change it to lights, so it just takes the white tones, it just doesnt select them perfectly (image 3). With the Cinema4D standard renderer you have the masks directly converted to alpha channels, so you can simply select the layer and it selects everything perfectly fine. So thats kind of my problem, I can't select the masks properly when I have more detailed scenes.. Is there anything I can do?
Or is it just a bug from photoshop, so it just didn't show the selection in the correct way? Thats what I'm thinking after selecting the lights and not the color white..
