# Intersect Masks with Selection

The Intersect Masks with Selection command converts the layer masks of the selected layers into a selection. The intersection of this selection and the selection that is already active form the new selection for the image.

White areas of the layer mask are selected, black areas are not selected, and gray areas are converted into feathered selections. The layer mask itself is not modified by this command.
