saving extractions

Is there any possible way to save an extraction...

I'm currently extracting something, and it would be nice to be able to save your extraction as a channel or something so you could come back and resume later.

What do you mean by "extraction"?
If you mean the results of the Extract tool, then ...

Do the extraction on a copy of the layer. The extraction is placed onto a new layer. CTRL-click on the layer, which will select all the pixels that have been extracted. Now you can save that selection [and load it again later].

Is that what you wanted?

No, I want to save the highlights in the extraction tool so I can save, come back later, and finish "extracting".
