I know this is a beginers question,but when using the magnetic lasso tool
and it jumps a bit offline how do you drag the line in or out a touch.

Thanks Bruce

Don't use it! <s> There are lots of selection tools, and magnetic is
rather limited.

There's a photoshop group, "comp.graphics.apps.photoshop" on most news
servers, and that's one place to ask. This group is more about digital
photography on the front end.

Agreed, but I'll give a brief straight answer: go back when you're done
& fix it with a ctl/alt add/remove and the better selection tool is
usually the polygon tool where you can approximate curves easily... just
add a bit of feathering to smooth things out. In fact I usually get by
fine with masks using a broad soft edged eraser rather than a detailed
selection.
