Two brushes are better than one

 

To rapidly change the Size, Feather, Flow, and Density of a brush, use the A and B preset brushes. To set them up, click one of the brushes (A or B) and change its settings. Make one brush large with Auto Mask off for painting areas such as back-grounds. Click the other brush and make it small with Auto Mask checked on for ?ner detail and edge work. Press the Forward Slash key (/) to quickly switch between the brushes.

Zoom in the Color Range preview

The preview in the Color Range dialog shows the entire image by default, which can make it hard to judge the potential selection mask if you’re trying to select only small areas. The solution is to first create a selection around the area on which you want to work before you choose Select>Color Range. Once you do, the preview in the dialog will only show what you have pre-selected.
