When you drag diagonally across an oval or circle and keep the mouse button depressed while you press the spacebar, the selection border will move while you continue to drag. You can reposition the marquee edge to match the edge that you are trying to select release the spacebar carefully while still holding down the mouse button. Now you can enlarge your oval or circle until it perfectly selects the object. If the selection is still not perfect, simply keep holding down the mouse button and press the spacebar to reposition again. You can continue going back and forth until your selection is perfection itself. Once you are satisfied with the selection, first release the spacebar (if it is depressed) and then release the mouse button. I learned this neat trick in Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book. Both versions CS2 and CS3 include this tip. For the basics you cant beat Classroom in a Book. This trick works great, especially when you are selecting ovals and circles.

I don't know if I learned it somewhere or just chanced on it, but it is very handy. He he, I use this one all the time.
