I've searched google for a while now with little avail. When I ctrl-click on the thumbnail of the layer in which I'd like to sellect all the non-transparent pixels, it selects almost all the colored pixels... even some of the semi-transparent (translucent) ones... but it does not select the very translucent pixels (i think these are shadows)... but it's weird because the layer is completely rasterized and there are no layer effects. how do I select even the very translucent pixels? thanks!
