1. After editing a selection in Quick Mask mode, Alt-click the Standard mode (Quick Mask off)
button to invert the current selection.
2. When using the Marquee tools [M], use the Shift key to create perfect circles or squares: use
the Alt key to draw them from their center.

selection.
4. You may alternate between Polygonal and Freehand Lasso [L], while you are creating a
selection, by holding down the Alt key.

then Ctrl+Alt+Shift-click a second layer to intersect the two layers' transparency masks.
