If you like to use automated selection tools like "Quick Selection", that's fine (at least till you get used to the pen tool), but you shouldn't expect them to work perfectly.


Often, there will be just a few simple / small areas that they missed (i.e., they either included something that they shouldn't, or excluded some area that should have been included).  The solution is simple, if an automated tool gets most of the job done, then use a different tool to quickly touch up any problem areas. 


For example, after you used the Quick Select tool, you could use the Polygonal Lasso tool set to "subtract" areas improperly included, or set to "add" to add areas that it missed.  Often, this is a much quicker approach than hoping against hope that one tool will do everything for you.
