Photoshop: Selection, stored in alpha palette, is displayed reversed
Hello Adobe,
you ask people for their satisfaction, but you obviously don't care because some the simplest tools are buggy since two years!
Here is one very annoying: To reproduce the bug:
1. Make a selection 2. save the selection to Alpha palette
=> BUG: white is not selected area but black!

You can say, the bug is at least also that you can't change the preferences permanently.
furthermore if you exchange documents with "foreign" others, you will still get back the wrong channel display, maybe even mixed with your own alphas. and you don't see it before testing of each alpha, how it is meant.

Masked Areas is technical correctly.
Again a very simple proof:
Select any channel from RGB, for example the Blue channel and make a selection from it.
Store it.
Watch the result and compare with the original blue channel.
It's out of discussion, that this is a bug... since two years...
If you don't correct the default, people in companies will go on to exchange documents with messed up alphas. Don't expect the "normal" user to go so deep. And you really also don't want to check each alpha with a double click, to find out how it is set.

and yes, David, like Nicole said...
I'm not sure if you understood how simple and how stupid the problem ("bug") is .
It just doesn't store my personal preference. Imagine you would have to set with each file saving all your color sync settings again.
Also the path tool works correctly, it remembers what the last path has been. But this doesn't... For the next channel again the check box below ist checked (instead the upper one).
See attached screenshot.
