I just hoped that there was a short cut of some sort.

I mean I can see that there's a way to do it with the selections, but it took me a while just getting selections of both the holes and of the inverse of the holes, without having a nasty gap between them - which involved a combination of expanding the selection of the holes, then expanding the selection of the inverse before I had selections of both that could be put together again without the fuzzy gap between them.

And that was such a trail and error process that I couldn't be sure of repeating it exactly... which made me wonder if there might be an easier way, to a) get the holes selected and b) create a black N white image of them.

You look at the alpha channel, and it LOOKS like the BlackNWhite image I need, but it isn't.

Which is agravating.

I just hope someone knows the answer.
