Path Palette > flyout menu > Make Work Path
Lower tolerance = more detail (which you may not want if the selection is jaggy).
Then double click the work path to give it a name and save it.

Try command H (control H on the PC). It toggles Show/Hide Edges.

File > Automate > Picture Package. Lot of options in there.

When you are in the save for web dialog box, be sure to set the matte color to something close to the dark background of your web site. Then Photoshop will blend the shadow to that color, instead of blending it to white which is the default.

Scaling down is fine – it’ll squish the pixels into a smaller area, thus upping the resolution.

Microsoft…gotta love ’em. Thanks for posting the answer.

Weird. Works for me (I’m on 10.3.9). So must be something unique to your system.

I only know of the max file size limitation, 4gb in Photoshop CS. Based on this, max canvas size would depend on your resolution and number of layers.

You might contact the publication and ask them how the file should be set up.
An easy trick for doing spot colors in Photoshop is to create the file in CMYK, and only use the Cyan and Black plates or channels, making sure the Magenta and Yellow channels are empty. Then tell them “use PMS 300 (or whatever) instead of Cyan.” But since the file is being dropped into a publication, this shortcut may not work for them.
You may need to do it the more “proper” way – create a multichannel file and save it as a Photoshop DCS 2.0 EPS. Basically, all your black/greyscale printing will be on a black plate or channel, and everything blue will be on a spot color channel. Here’s a link to an article that explains the process:
