• Refine Edge: This powerful tool allows you to refine the edges of your selections for more precise control, especially when dealing with complex or intricate details.  
   
• Selection Refinement Tools: Tools like the Brush, Feather, and Expand/Contract allow you to fine-tune your selections after they are made.  
   
• Working with Selections: Once you’ve made a selection, you can apply various operations to it, such as filling, stroking, copying, pasting, and more.

• Precise Editing: Apply edits and effects to specific areas of an image without affecting the rest.  
   
• Image Compositing: Combine multiple images seamlessly by selecting and isolating specific elements.
