So I've been playing with the lasso tool to select a figure
im always using the path tool and never the lasso tool

a path is automatically saved in the path tab and you can correct nodes later
also you can make much better curves with the paths tool, although that requires a bit of training

most of the times i complete the path, then make selection from path and turn the selection into a layermask
that has the advantage of being non destructive, and you can tweak a layermask by simply painting with white or black (depending on what you want to do) on it


I hope that's covered in the Layer Mask book. Thanks for your help and the detail. I've used the path tool a bit but didn't know about being able to save it.
