Object Selection tool > Select all objects

[Esther Netherlands]

Question... is there a way to select ALL objects found by the Object Selection tool in one go?

I see the viewing option "show all objects" 

 

I would like to turn this into a select mask. I searched the forum and online for a script or action to do this, but I could not find it. Maybe I am too hopeful?

You can use Object Finder to help find an object, click on the object to select it, and then Shift + click on the next object to add it to your selection.

Yes that I knew, but I am searching for a way to in 1 click/go select all objects and avoid clicking many times

Then you might try using the Object Selection tool in Rectangle mode and make a selection around all of the objects at once.

Thanks, but this is the issue... when doing so it misses the complete object (on a white background) and only selects the person (reason for the lack of example, cause of privacy laws)

There's a Mask All Objects command in the Layers contextual.

Right click the layer > Mask All Objects

Yes, that was what I was looking for, thank you @Earth Oliver
