Quick Selection Tool and Refine Edge

Photoshop Elements 6 New Feature Screen Shots

The new Quick Selection tool makes the process of selecting objects easier than ever. Users can paint over an object to make a selection, and the selection will automatically snap to the edges of the object, growing as you drag across it. After a selection is made, it can be fine-tuned with the Refine Edge dialog, which offers options for smoothing, feathering, expanding, and contracting the selection edge. Initially I thought this tool was going to replace the selection brush, but it is actually an addition.
