I love the pen tool and am useless with the rest. What do you use and why. Maybe the lasso, layer mask or rubber??? or other

I always use layer masks to do my extractions as I need to be able to correct mistakes easily. depending on the picture I may start with the extract filter but even if i do I still put a layer mask on it. ( PSE users have to download a free layer mask addon)

I use several tools. Sometimes I use the Magnetic Lasso first to get the rough outline and then go into Quick Mask Mode to tidy up the edges. I use layer masks alot too and find them very useful as you can easily 'put back' if you have erased too much. I do use the pen tool ocassionally but find it a slow method.

I also use the magnetic lasso. I set the pixel at 3 for a softer edge.

I use the magic extractor because it saves me a lot of time, then I take the eraser and take away anything that was missed.
