In Photogenics, if you want to restrict an operation to a 'region', you
just paint the region on with standard painting tools (including air
brushes and other natural tools).  Go too far, and you can just rub a
bit out with the other button.  Of course, this isn't some blind
selection, your painting shows the selected effect in realtime, as you
paint.  If you want to make you selection more permanent, and perform
more painting 'underneath' that selection, just hit a key/menu and your
selection is moved to the Alpha layer (which can be edited in another
window, just like any other image).  The alpha layer can be saved just
as any other picture, in any format you desire.  From the next version,
the paint layer can be saved and loaded too, and also attached to any
format which supports masks/alphas (probably including GIF transparencies).
