So here is that alternative method, where you can use straight pixel layers or shapes directly as masks to both select or deselect much as you would by painting in black or white on a mask. What you are effectively doing with 'pixel masking' is painting with opacity (aka alpha or transparency), which gives you an alternative and more flexible method of selection.
