I just took a picture with my built-in iSight. I then opened the file in Preview to do a quick, simple crop. This is when I noticed new options for the select functionality. I ended up doing the whole cropping in Preview – not bothering to launching Photoshop.
Using the Select – Extract shape you can very easily generate and edit a selection mask similar to photoshops colour select. Only the Preview implementation of it is much more intuitive and thus faster to work with.

When marking your selection remember to use Command-K to finish the crop and then you can save the cropped section.
