7. Add some more samples to the Color Range selection. To add
   base colors to the selection, press the Shift key and click or
   Shift-drag inside the image window. For our purposes, Shift-
   click in other shadow areas of the lips (like the outer corner),
   then Shift-drag along the inner lower lip. You can watch the se-
   lection grow in the preview inside the Color Range dialog box.

Avoid clicking the highlight areas where the light is reflecting

dramatically off her lip gloss. Clicking one of those spots would

not only select that area of the lip but also the lighter areas in

the teeth and face that have the same luminance value, thus

adding those areas to the selection and defeating the purpose.

If you go too far, consider these two options:

• Press Alt (or Option) and click a color in either the image
  window or preview to deselect a range of related colors. As
  often as not, this technique overcompensates and deselects
  too much of the image.


• Choose Edit→Undo Color Sample or press Ctrl+Z (�-Z) to
  restore the previous selection. Great feature, but note that
