At focus this year I watched a Wacom rep lasso an object with a Graphire 3 tablet. He then proceeded to 'nudge' the edges of the lasso to increase the area it covered.Are you sure he wasn't using the Pen tool (a path in other words) or Transform Selection? Unless Elements lasso is far different from Photoshop's, which I doubt, it's not a normal feature.
He was using Photoshop Elements 2.
I can't seem to get the thing to do this in either PS5, 7 or Elements 1.0
Is this only a feature of PS Elements 2 or have I:
i) Not set the thing up correctly
ii) Not installed a vital piece of software such as a plug in?
Si.

Or maybe I'm not understanding your description.

I watched him roughly lasso a flower - he then tidied up the edges by nudging the lasso in and out - by pushing at the 'marching ants'...Are you sure he was "pushing at" the selection, or might he have been adding (and subtracting) small regions to (and from) it?

He quite clearly pushed outwards to enlarge the selection and pushed inwards to make it smaller. He was giving one to one sessions so I should have had on one myself.

The only thing that comes to mind is putting the lasso tool in ADD mode (either by holding a modifier key down, or by click once on the appropriate symbol in the options bar across the top of the drawing window afetr selecting the lasso tool.

It wasn't a lasso he was using, but the selection brush. The second set of images show how it is done.
I can seem to replicate this in PS, other than adding tor or subtracting from a selection. Which doesn't appear to be as fluid.

How about this. He may have lassoed the selection, then converted the selection to a path, using the "Make Work Path" button at the bottom of the Paths palette (or a function key tied to an action), used the direct selection tool to drag the path control points around, then converted back to a selection, using the "Load Selection from Path" button (or a function key).
