Overall I find that although the above method sounds time consuming it can become quite quick with practice. There is also to me something more satisfying about painting the selection on rather than clicking on points, I suppose its a throwback to those middle pages in the Rupert annuals where you would just paint on water to see the colours appear :-)
Dear Paul
Of course it does rather depend on the subject you are pathing. If its all straight lines then nothing beats this technique for speed, accuracy and elegance.
I find this tool can be surprisingly quick, and the precision with which you can path shapes is superb. I do not see this as a matter of clicking on points, rather than a challenge to use the minimum number of points to execute the work. In the event of wanting a feathered selection that's no problem. It is simple to convert a path into a selection and use quick mask, giving you all the control you ever should need.
