Rod,
Hmmm, I've used select colour range often myself, but you seem to have an added dimension there with the zoom in, zoom out, NEG Black brush and so on that maybe you should make a little video tut for this sort of stuff. Could be useful!
When my selection isn't precise (usually!) I just use the freehand selection tool to remove and add to the selection until it is precise. I sit with my wacom pen in one hand and my other hand hovers over the Shift and Alt keys - for adding and removing as I draw around (most recently) a lily.
Although I often find that it's quicker to draw roughly around the lily and then zoom in for precision, rather than starting with the colour select option.
Colour select sometimes selects an awful lot of teany tiny dots scattered all over the image - which can be a mess to sort out.
