I always use the Lasso Tool for quick jobs that dont need to be 100% perfect.
Zoom in real close and click in small step. Much easier than making a path.
As long as you dont close the selection you can even adjust individual points.
When the selection is ready i convert it into a layermask from selection.
Sometimes its a good idea to give the layermask a slight blur (like 1-3px) to get a softer transition
OR
to adjust the edge between black and white with a curve, but that needs a slightly bigger blur (like 5px).
Its a good technique to get rid of fringing (bleeding of colour around the edges).
