There's a very handy way to adjust a selection after you've made it - took me a while to discover...
This works mostly with rectangular and elliptical selections.
Once you've made your selection, if it's a little bit off, go to Selection | Transform Selection, and you'll see the familiar bounding box and handles that allow you to drag your selection to where you want it.

"Once you've made your selection,... go to Selection | Transform Selection..."
The shortcut for Transform Selection is Crtl T (On a Mac it's Cmd T).
Edit-Correction: This post is incorrect. See the following posts for the reason's why. Sorry.

You can also click inside the selection and move it around - However, this does not accomplish all that Transform will do for you.
And, don't forget:
You can change the feathering of a selection after you've already drawn it.
Remember - "right click is your friend"
After you make a selection - you can always right click inside the selection and a menu will come up where you can change the feathering.
There are also 10 other options on that menu - include "layer" from your selection

"Once you've made your selection,... go to Selection | Transform Selection..." The shortcut for Transform Selection is Crtl T (On a Mac it's Cmd T). True, but that shortcut doesn't work with selections. If you hit control/cmd-t with a selection made, and then try to adjust the selection, you will instead adjust the portion of the image inside the selection, not the selection itself. |

Just adding some clarification.
I am afraid there is no shortcut for the Select>Transform Selection command. If you do Ctrl-T (Cmmd-T on a Mac), what you are doing is invoking the Free Transform command. These two commands are not the same. The Transform Selection command will transform only the shape of the selection, i.e., will make changes to the outline of the selection; the Free Transform command will make changes to the contents of the selection.

Exactly! And you were correct. I was just adding some more details. |
