Subtracting from a Selection

Just as you can add to a selection marquee, you can also subtract, or deselect, from the selection.
To subtract from a current selection, press the Alt key (Option on the Mac) and drag around the pixels you want to subtract with the regular Lasso or the Rectangular or Elliptical Marquee tool.

Press the Alt key (Option on the Mac) and click the area you want to remove with the Magic Wand tool.
To subtract a straight-sided area, press the Alt key (Option on the Mac) and click around the area with the Polygon Lasso tool.

You can press the Alt key (Option on the Mac) and click with the Single Column or Single Row Marquee tool. The Single Column and Row Marquee tools come in handy when you want to get rid of just the very edge of a selection.
